Inhalation Chamber to be Built Into a Circuit of a Mechanical-Ventilation Respiratory Device

Abstract

The present invention relates to the field of mechanical-ventilation devices, in particular devices that enable drugs to be fed into the airflow, generated by the ventilation device and directed to the respiratory pathways of a patient, using an aerosol dosing device and/or nebulizer. Specifically, the invention relates to an inhalation chamber (1) to be built into a circuit of a mechanical-ventilation respiratory device (100) through which a gas stream is to pass, said inhalation chamber (1) consisting of two portions on either side of the longitudinal axis (A) thereof, and comprising openings that lead into the inner space (Vi) thereof, wherein two openings (10, 11) are to be connected to the circuit of the respirator, i.e. one opening (10) for the ingress of the gas stream and the other opening (11) for the egress of the gas stream, and one opening (12) that is to receive a nebulizer (2), characterized in that the openings (12, 13) for receiving the aerosol dosing device (3) and the nebulizer (2) are both provided in a single portion of said inhalation chamber (1) with respect to the longitudinal axis (A).
