Embodiment Construction

[0139] With reference to the accompanying drawings, figure 1 A schematic diagram of a device 1 for administering a medicament to a mechanically assisted breathing patient according to the invention is shown. Devices of the present invention include respiratory devices and dry powder inhalers as will be described in detail below.

[0140] The device 1 comprises: a mechanical ventilator 2 and an artificial airway, not shown, configured to be associated with a patient P; and a breathing circuit 3 connecting the mechanical ventilator 2 to the artificial airway. Mechanical ventilators 2 are known per se and may comprise a pneumatic system powered by a power unit and controlled by an electronic control unit. In the exemplary embodiment shown, the mechanical ventilator 2 has an inspiratory connection 4 and an expiratory connection 5 . The artificial airway can be a mask, breathing tube, supraglottic airway, circumcision, or tracheostomy tube.

[0141] The breathing circuit 3 compr...

Abstract

An apparatus to administer drugs to mechanically ventilated patients, comprises: a mechanical ventilator (2), an artificial airway to be associated to a patient (P) and a ventilation circuit (3) connecting the mechanical ventilator (2) to the artificial airway. The ventilation circuit (3) comprises: an inspiratory line (6), a dry powder inhaler (16) disposed in line on the inspiratory line (6) and a connector (33) operatively connected to the dry powder inhaler (16) and to the inspiratory line (6). The connector (33) comprises: a first duct (41) facing an outlet port (25) of the dry powder inhaler (16) and connected or configured to be connected to a tube section (45) of the inspiratory line (6) placed downstream the dry powder inhaler (16); a second duct (43) facing an air inlet port (28) of the dry powder inhaler (16) and connected or configured to be connected to a tube section (46) of the inspiratory line (6) placed upstream the dry powder inhaler (16).

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a device for administering a medicament to a mechanically assisted breathing patient. In particular, the present invention relates to a respiratory device for mechanically assisted breathing of a patient comprising a dry powder inhaler for administering a powdered drug / medicine formulation to a mechanically assisted breathing patient. Background technique [0002] Every day, large numbers of patients are admitted to hospital with severe respiratory conditions requiring mechanical assistance to breathe, such as asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. Most outpatients receive medications by inhalation, especially bronchodilators such as beta 2 - Adrenergic agonists and anticholinergics. The main aerosol-generating devices that have been used so far in these types of patients include pressurized metered dose inhalers (pMDIs) and nebulizers. While dry powder inhalers (DPIs) are available during mechanically ass...
