| 摘要 |
The present invention relates to an evaporator device to assist breathing comprising a low profile body adapted to house heating means (9), a liquid reservoir (8), an evaporation site and means (15) to supply liquid from the reservoir to the evaporation site such that the device can humidify the air in the immediate environment. The heating means may comprise PCMs, means to connect to external power, a heating mat and/or encapsulated materials which generate heat through an exothermic chemical reaction. The liquid may be water or a solution including or consisting of an active agent, for example a decongestant. The device may be used to produce nitric oxide to assist breathing. |
