Function and use
Drug delivery: The T-shaped connector allows liquid drugs to be converted into fine aerosol particles through the atomizer and directly delivered to the patient's respiratory tract and lungs, improving drug absorption efficiency.
Ventilator Compatible: Its unique design allows the nebulizer medicine cup to be connected into existing ventilator tubing (such as in the ICU or during anesthesia), allowing medication to be administered without stopping mechanical ventilation.
Tracheostomy care: When treating patients with a tracheostomy, the T-piece can provide humidified oxygen or medications without the need for invasive ventilation equipment.
Versatility: T-fitters can be used with either disposable or reusable nebulizer kits, and often connect to standard mouthpieces or masks.
Main components
A typical nebulizer kit with T-fitting usually includes the following components:
T-joint: The core component that connects the ventilator circuit and the atomized medicine cup.
Nebulizer cup: used to hold liquid medicine and evaporate it into a mist.
Hoses/Tubes: Connect the nebulizer cup to an air compressor or oxygen source.
Mouthpiece or mask: The end port through which the patient inhales the aerosol.
How to use
When used, the T-connector needs to be placed between the ventilator circuit and the patient interface (such as a mask or tracheostomy tube). Then, insert the nebulizer cup filled with medication into the T-fitting and connect the hose to a compressed air/oxygen source to initiate treatment.
