Zusammenfassung:A continuous flow nebulizing system (106) for patients receiving long term nebulized medicant respiratory therapy. The system comprises a nebulizer vial (50) through which nebulizing fluids are delivered from a large supply vessel (70) to the nebulizing means (20), thereby permitting continuous operation without the necessity of removing the nebulizer vial from the system to accomodate refilling of same. Nebulizing gas flow may be synchronized, via flow sensor (104) and signal transmitting means (104'), with the inhalation and exhalation rates of the patient, and temperature of the ventilating and nebulizeable fluids may be accomodated by temperature adjustment control means (460, 470, 468, 476, 490).
