An aerosol medication delivery apparatus includes a fixed volume holding
chamber which is constructed to allow for a uniformly mixed, concentrated
bolus of medicated aerosol to be delivered with each breath. The device
further includes a universal inlet, so that any standard small volume
nebulizer, as well as any standard metered dose inhaler (MDI), may be
utilized therewith. Also filtration can be added to address contaminated
patient air and aerosol. A one-way valve is positioned in the patient
mouthpiece, to help control the loss of aerosol, and thereby reduce
waste.
