Systems and methods are provided for delivering one or more drugs. In some embodiments, a drug delivery system includes a housing having a distal end with an inlet through which an inspiratory flow of air passes into the housing, a proximal end having a patient interface attached thereto, the patient interface being configured to interface with a user, and an inspiratory flow pathway extending from the distal end to the proximal end of the housing. A nitric oxide (NO) source is positioned within the housing and is configured to deliver NO-containing gas to the patient interface. A secondary drug source is positioned within the housing and is configured to deliver a secondary drug to the patient interface. A controller is configured to control an amount of NO-containing gas and an amount of the secondary drug delivered using a control scheme.

An apparatus for applying positive pressure nebulized liquid to a patient includes a funneled T-connector having a funnel with a first opening of a first diameter, a second opening of a second diameter smaller than the first diameter, and a funnel wall extending between the first and second openings. The funneled T-connector further has a cylindrical nebulizer port that extends outwardly from the funnel wall. A nebulizer cup assembly includes a nebulizer cup to contain liquid and a nebulizer cap to removably attach to a top region of the nebulizer cup. The nebulizer cap has a cylindrical nebulizer outlet sized to removably attach to the cylindrical nebulizer port. The cylindrical nebulizer outlet extends upwardly through the nebulizer passage, beyond the cylindrical nebulizer port, and into the internal funnel space such that a top edge of the cylindrical nebulizer outlet is located within the internal funnel space.

A CPAP flow driver is adapted to split supplied breathable fluid into a first portion delivered to a venturi throat to generate a pressure drop to draw in ambient air to create a CPAP flow And a second portion that is delivered to a nebulizer to drive the nebulizer.

Ventilation system (having a ventilator and having a diagnostic device, wherein the ventilator comprises a ventilation unit for generating a respiratory gas flow for ventilation and a detection unit (for detecting a ventilation signal characteristic for the respiratory gas flow over time. The diagnostic device comprises a sensor unit for detecting a diagnostic signal over time. The synchronization unit is operationally connected to the detection unit and the sensor unit and is suitable and configured for studying a time curve of the ventilation signal and a time curve of the diagnostic signal respectively for a signal change caused by the same event and bringing the curve of the ventilation signal and the curve of the diagnostic signal into chronological correspondence so that the event occurs simultaneously in both signal curves.

A breathing treatment delivery device is disclosed for providing atomized medicine or oxygen to a patient. The breathing treatment delivery device can include a supply device configured to dispense atomized medicine or oxygen through a dispensing end of the supply device. A cap can have a device side and a delivery side, the device side including an opening receiving and in fluid communication with the dispensing end of the supply device. A treat holder can be positioned on the delivery side of the cap. At least one aperture can be defined in the delivery side of the cap adjacent the treat holder, a pneumatic passage formed through the cap between the opening in the device side of the cap and the aperture. A patient can enjoy a piece of candy or other treat retained by the treat holder during treatment while breathing in the desired medicine or oxygen.

A nebulizer assembly and an airflow-guiding component thereof are provided. The airflow-guiding component includes an air-guiding part and a structural matching part. The air-guiding part includes a first hollow tube body, a second hollow tube body, and an air-guiding structure connected between the first hollow tube body and the second hollow tube body. The structural matching part is connected to the first hollow tube body. The air-guiding structure has a plurality of rear main air-introducing channels surrounding the first hollow tube body, and each of the plurality of rear main air-introducing channels has a rear main air-introducing opening perpendicular or inclined to the structural matching part. Therefore, external air outside the airflow-guiding component can be guided into the rear air-guiding channel through the plurality of rear main air-introducing channels.

A method and device are used for administering a humidified aerosol to a patient interface by providing and guiding a first gas flow having a humidified aerosol, a second gas flow having humidified respiratory gases, and a liquid flow of a thermally balancing liquid, thermally balancing the first and second gas flow by parallel guiding the first and second gas flow such that the first and second gas flow are guided in a manner that they are at least partially surrounded by the liquid flow of the thermally balancing liquid, mixing the first and second gas flow to obtain enriched respiratory gases having the humidified aerosol, and administering the enriched respiratory gases to the patient interface. The method and the device avoid the administration of dry or re-dried powdered aerosols and unwanted accumulation of and blockage by powdered material. The device is useful in respiratory support of preterm infants.
