System for Administering a drug to spontaneously Breathing patient, which comprises a flexible Catheter, First Media seconds means pumping, pumping, and a Pressure sensor； method； Kit
A method and system according to preferred embodiments of the present invention allows optimizing the dispensing of aerosol medicaments. In particular the system according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention allows the administration of an exogenous pulmonary surfactant to very young patients (e.g. preterm neonates). A catheter 101 conveys atomized surfactant directly to the retro-pharyngeal region in order to increase efficiency of the medicament administration without being invasive: this is particularly important for very young patients, such as pre-term born neonates suffering from neonatal Respiratory Distress Syndrome (nRDS). According to a preferred embodiment of the present invention the catheter is made of biocompatible flexible material (e.g. plastic material). It is possible to couple the catheter with a rigid scaffolding (e.g. metallic) to increase stiffness of the device and to improve easiness of positioning operations. In a preferred embodiment of the present invention the delivery of the atomized medicament is done by means of an air blasting technique.SISTEMA PARA ADMINISTRAR UN MEDICAMENTO PARA PACIENTES QUE RESPIRAN ESPONTANEAMENTE, QUE COMPRENDE UN CATETER FLEXIBLE, PRIMEROS MEDIOS DE BOMBEO, SEGUNDOS MEDIOS DE BOMBEO Y UN SENSOR DE PRESION； METODO； KIT
