How to use a nasal aspirator for newborns

Before the procedure, it is recommended to rinse the child’s nose with Aqualor Baby spray. In addition to the therapeutic effect, it will make the mucus more liquid, making it easier to separate and remove.

It is best to store the aspirator disassembled, so assemble it according to the instructions before use.

The procedure itself is very simple. Place the mouthpiece in the mouth and then the nosepiece in one of your baby's nostrils. Gently pull it into yourself with your mouth. Repeat the action with the other half of the nasal cavity.

Manipulation can cause discomfort to the child, so you need to divert his attention and hold his head. If you use it roughly or excessively worry your baby, you can injure the mucous membrane with the tip, so you should be careful.

A reservoir with a filter makes it impossible for mucus to enter an adult's mouth. Reverse flow of fluid into the baby's nose is also excluded.

After the procedure, the filter must be thrown away, and the device must be disassembled and washed.

If the baby is prescribed medicinal drops or sprays into the nose, then they should be used after removing the mucus and rinsing liquid. Once on a clean mucous membrane, the drug reaches a larger surface and its effectiveness increases.

Be careful - nasal drops for children!

For whom are vasoconstrictor nasal drops most dangerous?

Nasal drops that quickly relieve swelling and restore nasal breathing contain a drug from the group of so-called alpha-2 adrenergic agonists. They constrict the blood vessels of the mucous membrane of the nasal passages and reduce the production of inflammatory serous or mucous secretions. But these substances are easily absorbed into the blood. And then, along with the desired local effect, their pronounced side effect on the entire cardiovascular system appears. The worst thing is that they affect the brain in such a way that they reduce blood pressure until the development of hypotonic shock. Think about it: simply putting drops into your nose can cause severe poisoning!

The younger the child, the smaller the dose of adrenergic agonist required for the baby to require emergency assistance. Therefore, the most vulnerable age is children from one to two years (about half of all cases). The second place in the frequency of serious complications is occupied by infants under one year old and children from 2 to 3 years old.

How does hypotonic shock manifest in children?

A stuffy nose causes a lot of trouble for a child. He cannot breathe normally, and therefore is capricious during meals and games, during daytime sleep, and often wakes up crying at night. It would seem that there is nothing unusual in the fact that after an adrenergic agonist is instilled into the nose, the baby stops snoring and quickly falls asleep. Therefore, the first signs of a decrease in blood pressure - drowsiness and lethargy - in case of poisoning, as a rule, are missed by parents. According to statistics, the most common complaint when seeking help is “the child does not wake up” or “it was difficult to wake up, but falls asleep again.”

The greater the number of vasoconstrictor drops in the nose that are absorbed into the systemic bloodstream, the more pronounced will be the general pallor of the skin, blueness around the mouth, sweating, and coldness of the extremities. In children, breathing becomes rare and barely noticeable to the eye, as if they are not breathing at all. The body is relaxed, any movement is difficult for them. In severe cases, an epileptic seizure or cerebral coma may develop.

What are the dangers of nasal drops during pregnancy?

A nasal spray with an adrenergic agonist narrows not only the superficial vessels of the nasal mucosa. To a lesser extent, but certainly, the lumen of the vessels feeding the placenta is spasmed. As a result, it becomes easier for the mother to breathe briefly, while the baby experiences a lack of oxygen at this time.

Which vasoconstrictor drops are most dangerous?

Naphazoline. It is part of drugs called Naphazolin ferein, Naphthyzin, Opkon-A, Sanorin, Sanorin with eucalyptus oil.

Xylometazoline. These are Brizolin, Galazolin, Grippostad Rino, Dlynos, Doctor Theiss Nazolin and Rinotais, Influrin, Xilen, Xylobene, Ximelin, Nosolin, Olint, Rizaksil, Rinomaris, Rinostop, Suprima-NOZ, Tizin xylo.

Oxymetazoline. These are 4-Wey, Afrin, Nazivin, Nazol and Nazol Advance, Nazosprey, Nesopin, Noxprey, Fazin, Fervex spray for the common cold.

When nasal drops cause poisoning in a child

The main reason is an overdose of the drug. When this happens:

• a solution containing a higher concentration of adrenergic agonists is used than is permitted at a certain age. A typical mistake is to spray “adult” drops into the baby’s nose;
• the drug is used with the correct pediatric dosage, but in a very large volume. For example, after instilling drops from the nose, mucus is removed and the medicinal spray is immediately reused;
• the medicine is used more often than recommended in the instructions for the drug.

Accidental poisonings also occur in children when a bottle of spray is left within reach and the child drinks the medicine. Even one sip of an adrenergic agonist, especially on an empty stomach, is enough to cause severe poisoning to develop.

How to protect your baby from dangerous nasal drops

The basic rule is to comply with the requirements for age, quantity and frequency of use of the drug specified in the annotation for the drug. Try not to buy sprays containing naphazoline, xylometazoline and oxymetazoline at the pharmacy. Remember that vasoconstrictor drops do not treat a runny nose, but only facilitate nasal breathing when the mucous membrane is swollen. This is usually observed in the first 1–3 days of a viral infection. Before instilling an adrenergic agonist, you need to clear the nasal passages of mucus using a saline solution or sea water and a suction bulb. Perhaps this procedure will be enough to make the child’s nose “breathe.”

Precautions and contraindications

Cleaning the nasal cavity in newborns with an aspirator is a simple and safe way to relieve a baby’s condition when he or she has a cold.

Side effects of this method are associated with insufficient hygiene of the device. Therefore, it is important to wash it thoroughly in warm water and soap after each use. It is prohibited to boil the device to avoid deformation.

Replacement filters are consumables and must be replaced after each procedure. New ones can be purchased separately.

Parents of babies have a question: how often can you use an aspirator? There are no restrictions here; mucus must be removed as it accumulates.

Do not use the device for other purposes, such as clearing your throat or ears. The nasal aspirator is intended for use in the nasal cavity only.

Despite its simplicity and safety, the method has its contraindications:

• the presence of polyps and neoplasms of the respiratory tract;
• nosebleeds;
• violation of the integrity of the mucous membrane;
• traumatic injuries to the nose and turbinate.

Before use, you should consult a pediatrician or ENT doctor.
