Pressure activated synchronizer of nebulizing therapy in BPAP artificial ventilation

Aerosol therapy nebulizer is a modern and efficient method of treating respiratory diseases. Nebulization treatment is in a process of development as new drugs intended for this method of care are requiring new ways of aerial administration. A mechanical ventilator (invasive or non-invasive) is often used for these patients and the combination with a nebulizer is also quite common. Nevertheless the quantity of drug really inhaled into the airways of the patient is still unknown because of fluidic conditions in the pipes. The intermittent, inspiration synchronized, nebulization would be, in principle, a great improvement for this type of therapy. By using an advanced nebulizer based on vibration mesh technology we developed a pressure actuated synchronization system to inject nebulized drug only during the inspiration phase of breath.
