How To Use A Nebulizer When The Power Is Out
This is a topic that really concerns me, how to use a nebulizer when the power is out. If you or someone you know has mentioned nebulizers and what will they do when they lose power, this is a very frightening thought or feeling. I was up in Salt Lake City, Utah recently, and when I’m up there I like to stop by the Goal Zero facility in Bluffdale, Utah and to visit with the staff. I like to see all the new things available, and I love their customer service and employees.
They go above and beyond helping me with my questions. I really like to know the ins and outs of how things work. I wanted to try out my Goal Zero YETI 400 solar power source with some young girls who use a nebulizer, Jenna, and Avery who are sisters. I did a YouTube for you as well so you can see how the solar power source works. Jenna is 11 years old and has had asthma since she was a baby. Avery is 5 years old and has asthma as well. Elaine, their mother mentioned to me how concerned she is if the power goes out, so I asked her if I could show her how to use some solar power from a Goal Zero YETI 400 with her nebulizers.
How To Use A Nebulizer:
This is Jenna above with her mouth-piece attached to the nebulizer which is being powered using zero electricity, just solar power from the Goal Zero YETI 400.
I asked their mother, Elaine, to explain how a nebulizer works:
Good tip Linda. I don’t know anyone who uses a nebulizer, but I know several people that use cpap machines. Do you think this would work for the full night to power a cpap machine?
Guess what I just made? I had your chunky monkey pancakes when I got home from work. They were sooooooo good!
Have a great day and try to stay cool. It’s supposed to be in the 90’s here, so I know it’s going to be really hot down there. Hugs, Mare
Hi Mare, yes I’m sharing a post about CPAP’s tomorrow., My son-in-law slept using only the Goal Zero YETI 400 for 8-1/2 hours worth of blissful sleep! He keeps his charged all the time in case of a power outage. It is very hot here! Hugs! Linda
Great to know and I see your cpap post farther down in my email. Thanks! Hugs, Mare
I have a portable nebulizer which plugs into the car cigarette lighter outlet. It costs about $150.
This is an informative article. The solar yeti is over $600. I just bought an electronic nebulizer for $80 on healthy preparedness websight. I believe it’s a much more cost effective approach than the solar. Just want to let people know there are other options as well.
Hi Amy, the Goal Zero Yeti is a solar generator to “power” any nebulizer or CPAP when the power is out. It is not a nebulizer. Thanks for the tip, this post is for people to be ready if the power goes out and the equipment will not work without electricity. Linda
