Abstract: The present invention is an aerosol inhalation interface, and a method for its use. The device delivers a flow of aerosol medication to a patient breathing tidally by creating a medication rich environment proximal to the nose and mouth of the patient, while the patient is in a reclining position. The device, which is suspended above the patient's nose and mouth, is comprised of an aerosol generator, which generates medicated particles; a containment region, into which the generator discharges the medicated particles; a downwardly projecting outlet sleeve, which is connected to the containment region and channels the particles from the containment region to create a medication rich environment proximal to the nose and mouth of the patient; and an air movement deflector, which inhibits the dispersion of the particles and disturbance of the medication rich environment.

Abstract: Disclosed is a nebulizer having a downwardly facing aerosol outlet that is structurally configured so as to produce aerosol mist in a downward direction and that delivers a downwardly directed flow of medicated aerosol mist for a period of time. That is to say, a downdraft nebulizer.
