Abstract
A system for administering at least one medication to a patient is disclosed. The system includes a resilient air bladder in fluid communication with a tubular chamber of a base unit, a capsule in fluid communication with the tubular chamber configured for carrying the at least one medication, and an atomizer disposed at least proximate to the capsule and in fluid communication with the tubular chamber. An air inlet and a first one-way valve is in fluid communication with the resilient air bladder configured to allow fresh air to enter the resilient air bladder. An air outlet and a second one-way value is in fluid communication the resilient air bladder and the tubular chamber. Fresh air and the medication atomized by the atomizer mix together within the tubular chamber.
