AeroChamber* VENT Chamber is a collapsible chamber designed to be left in the inspiratory limb of a 22mm ventilator circuit. The chamber delivers Metered Dose Inhaler (MDI) medication to mechanically ventilated patients. Efficient Drug Delivery The ideally sized AeroChamber* VENT Chamber allows for the expansion of the aerosol plume and provides optimum delivery of Metered Dose Inhaler medication to the patient. Maintain Closed Circuit Integrity The AeroChamber* VENT Chamber can be left in the inspiratory limb of the ventilator circuit. This helps reduce the risk of infection by maintaining a closed circuit. The ergonomically designed chamber is easy to open and close and is designed for maximum patient comfort. More effective than nebulizers or MDI adapters Source: Mitchell JP, Nagel MW, Avvakoumova V, Malpass J.
