The illustration shows a generic example of a box plot with the maximum, third quartile, median, first quartile, and minimum values labeled. The relative vertical spacing between the labels reflects the values of the variable in proportion.
Respirator Types Two basic types of respirators are: â¢ air-purifying; andâ¢ supplied-air respirators. Air-purifying respirators remove airborne contaminants such as particles, toxic vapors, and/or gases.
Short-acting bronchodilators are used as a quick relief or rescue medication, while long-acting bronchodilators can be used every day to control asthma -- in conjunction with an inhaled steroid. For treating asthma symptoms, there are three types of bronchodilators: beta-agonists, anticholinergics, and theophylline. These bronchodilators are available in inhaled, tablet, liquid, and injectable forms, but the preferred method of taking the beta-agonists and anticholinergics is by inhalation.
