Abstract

See full text

A self-contained, high capacity nebulizer, having automatic mixing and temperature control features is provided, and its method of use. The nebulizer is designed for use in conjunction with mechanical respirators, ventilators, or breathing machines, and for this purpose will use electrical signals generated by or received from the respirator to automatically control and synchronize the nebulizing and mixing functions such that nebulization occurs only during the exhalation phase of the respiratory function to load the gas passageway of the respirator to the patient with a standardized dose of medicinal aerosol. Upon commencement of the inhalation phase, the aerosol in the gas passageway is ventilated into the lungs of the patient to which it is attached.
