Nebs in the car

[zeeannie]

For those of you who use a power inverter, what wattage should I buy if I want to use the vest in the car? It's the small Hill-Rom one.

Is it safe to do nebs in the car/while driving? I do not have a portable compressor but I do have a power converter that I plug into the cigarette lighter and it works great with other electronics... I would hate to damage my compressor though, and I'm no expert on electronics. Has anybody else tried this? It could save SO much time.</end quote></div>

Please be careful when plugging a compressor in to the car cig lighter - this may descrease the PSI of the compressor and decrease the respirable dose of the drug. This means less drug, which could harm your health.

I had to vest/neb in the car for 4 months on an hour long commute both ways. I can easily hold my neb in my mouth so both hands were on the steering wheel. More details on my blog....

I think a 500 or 600 will work, I have used a 700 but in conjuction with a portable nebulizer...

I now have an 800 Watt hardwired to the battery. I can do my vest and my mobilaire compressor at the same time.
