APPARATUS FOR DELIVERING AEROSOLIZED MEDICATION

摘要

An apparatus for delivering an aerosolized medication to a patient on a ventilation circuit. The apparatus comprise a multi dose metered syringe preloaded with the aerosolized medication such as albuterol. The syringe comprises a Luer lock at a bottom tip, which is removably attachable to a carbon dioxide sampling port of an endotracheal tube. A plunger adapted to be fitted inside the syringe and actuated for delivering a predefined dose of the aerosolized medication into the endotracheal tube, without disconnecting the ventilation circuit. The delivery of aerosolized medication is synchronized with oxygen inspiration for optimal delivery.
