ABSTRACT:
A medication inhalation therapy apparatus designed for the delivery of finely misted medicines to a patient in conjunction with the inhalation of 100% oxygen by the patient. The apparatus comprises a facemask equipped with an oxygen port for delivering oxygen, the facemask placed about or on the face of the patient. The facemask has a nebulizer mechanism disposed thereon, which is used to deliver medication in addition to oxygen. The nebulizer mechanism comprises a nebulizer port, which rotates 90 degrees in either direction to allow the present invention to be used in various angles. The nebulizer port is adapted to receive a nebulizer head, wherein are placed inhaleable medications, which are nebulized. When the apparatus is used for medication inhalation therapy, the nebulizer head receives oxygen for nebulizing inhaleable medications placed therein, the oxygen received from an oxygen port, which delivers oxygen to the facemask. When the apparatus is not being used for medication inhalation therapy, the nebulizer head is disconnected from the oxygen port. The apparatus may also be provided with a horizontal bag, which permits flow of oxygen to a patient, wherein the flow is unimpeded by objects placed upon the patient's chest.
