摘要

A nebulizer comprises a body, a patient interface, an air inlet, an air outlet, and at least one breathing incentive. The air inlet is coupled with the body and configured for admittance of ambient air into the body in response to inhalation through the patient interface. The air outlet is coupled with the body and configured for discharging exhaled breath. The at least one breathing incentive is integrated with the nebulizer and configured to provide feedback in response to the inhalation. The feedback describes a propriety of a flow rate of the inhalation so as to assist a patient using the nebulizer in achieving a therapeutically effective flow rate for delivery of a medical aerosol.
