Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	An aerosol delivery system (10) that includes an aerosol generator (16) that aerosolizes a fluid for delivery to a patient as a patient inhales. The aerosol delivery system includes a pump (24) coupled to the aerosol generator that pumps the fluid to the aerosol generator, and a breath sensor (36) that emits a signal as the patient breathes. A controller (26) couples to the aerosol generator, the pump, and the breath sensor. In operation, the controller receives the signal from the breath sensor, controls a flow of fluid to the aerosol generator in response to the signal, and controls the aerosol generator to start aerosolizing the fluid before the patient inhales.
