Inhalation therapy device for use in premature babies and infants

Inhalation therapy system comprising:

• an aerosol generating device having a membrane for nebulising a fluid and providing liquid droplets;
• and
• a nebulising chamber having a respiratory air supply inlet configured to receive a flow of respiratory air from a ventilator and direct the flow of respiratory air onto a rear side of the aerosol generating device, and having a tapered area with a connecting piece configured for direct connection to a patient line at an outlet at an end of the tapered area, wherein the liquid droplets and the respiratory air are supplied to and mix in the nebulising chamber to form a liquid droplet/respiratory air mixture that flows through the outlet, supply of the respiratory air flow occurring in such a manner that a turbulent respiratory air flow is established in the nebulising chamber, and said nebulising chamber being configured to transform the turbulent respiratory air flow into a directed flow of the liquid droplet/respiratory air mixture, wherein the aerosol generating device is fixed in the nebulising chamber by a holding device that comprises a plurality of separated through-holes for the respiratory air supplied to said nebulising chamber and the holding device also has a plurality of radially extending support elements for fixing the aerosol generating device.
