What device is used to deliver a precise percentage of oxygen in aerosolized form?

A nebulizer is specifically designed to convert liquid medication into a fine aerosolized mist, allowing for precise delivery of both medication and supplemental oxygen directly to the respiratory system. This is particularly useful in treating conditions such as asthma, COPD, or other respiratory issues, where a certain percentage of oxygen or medication is required.

The nebulizer operates by creating aerosol particles small enough to be inhaled into the lungs, which allows for direct targeting of the respiratory tract. This capability ensures that the patient receives the appropriate concentration of oxygen mixed with the aerosol, making it an effective tool for achieving precise delivery of therapeutic gases.

Other devices listed do not serve the purpose of aerosolizing oxygen or maintaining a specific percentage of gas delivery effectively. For instance, a ventilator provides mechanical assistance or control of respiration but is not exclusively for aerosolized oxygen. A face mask can deliver oxygen but does not allow for the precise control of aerosolized medication. A suction device is used for clearing airways rather than delivering oxygen or aerosol therapy.
