Discover Shortcuts Devised by Colleagues "Left, Right, Right, Left" for Best Nasal Spray Delivery
May 5, 2010
For my patients who use nasal spray, I advise them to use the right hand to spray into the left nostril and the left hand to spray into the right nostril. This approach ensures that the greatest amount of medication reaches the lateral wall of the nasal cavity. by Richard Mastrole | July 09, 2010 9:46 AM EDT I have found that the efficacy of intranasal steroids is directly related to proper use.Looking down at the patients shoes and then spray and snill,followed by upwaed gaze and no sniffing foe 1 to two minuteses greatly improves success rates. RK MASTROLE MD by Sheryl Innerarity | July 08, 2010 11:00 AM EDT I teach my patients to do if after they shower 1) to clean and humidify the nose, then 2) use the spray after the shower, then turn their head upside down and brush their hair out while they sniff, then 3) brush their teeth. by robert caudill | May 23, 2010 4:15 PM EDT I learned the same guidelines for administering nasal spray medications (ie Left Hand sprays right nostril & right hand sprays the left nostril)....but was also taught to tell the patient to look down @ his/her toes for better spray penetration. Makes sense. rgcaudillMD |
