Abstract:
1. A lung therapy device for delivering continuous positive airway pressure, the lung therapy device comprising: a gas connector to receive a continuous positive flow of gas; a means for dividing said continuous positive flow of gas into two distinct continuous positive flow streams; a means for restricting the continuous positive flow of at least one of said two distinct continuous positive flow streams; a housing fluidly connected to at least one of said two distinct continuous positive flow streams and comprising a proximal end chamber located at a proximal end of said housing and a distal end chamber located at a distal end of said housing; said housing being devoid of valves that move during the therapy; said proximal end chamber having a patient opening which therethrough a patient may inhale inspiratory gas into said patient's airways and exhale expiratory gas from said patient's airways; said patient opening in said proximal end chamber further being fluidly connectable to a patient interface connector; said distal end chamber comprises: said housing further having a pressure monitoring port located at said distal end, said pressure monitoring port being substantially parallel with the axial dimension; said housing further containing an amplification chamber connecting said proximal end chamber to said distal end chamber which is shaped such that the flow of gas passing therethrough is amplified; said housing further containing a port connectable to a nebulizer; and a means for connecting said nebulizer to at least one of said two distinct continuous positive flow streams.
