Administering An Aerosol To A Patient

Abstract: The present invention relates to an aerosol generating device (162) configured for generating an aerosol stream (114) to a patient (116), as well as a processing device (120) configured for controlling the apparatus (110) for administering the aerosol to the patient (116). Herein, the aerosol generating device (162) comprises: - an air inlet (164) configured for receiving a portion of breathing air (166) from a ventilatory circuit (160) to be provided to an aerosol generating element (170); - the aerosol generating element (170) configured for generating aerosol particles and introducing them into the aerosol stream (114); and - an aerosol tube (172) configured for providing the aerosol stream (114) comprising the aerosol particles through a conducting element to the patient (116). In particular, the device (162) is designed for providing a high aerosol concentration to the patient (116), especially to a preterm infant, a newborn, a child and an adult. It is also disclosed a processing device (120) configured for controlling an apparatus (110) for administering an aerosol (112) to a patient (116) by controlling an aerosol stream (114) to the patient (116) triggered at one point in time that advances at least one of an onset or a suspension of a breathing of the patient (116).
