A medicinal nonventilatory nebulizer(atomizer) is a device that is intended to spray liquid medication in aerosol form into the air that a patient will breathe.... [Nebulizers are] devices designed to provide aerosolized medication and/or humidification to the patient airways.... These devices produce both vapor and finely dispersed water droplets in the liquid phase(aerosol mist) ;they are typically used with a mask or tent or in a breathing circuit. Most nebulizers are either pneumatic(driven by compressed air) or ultrasonic. Most nebulizers include a heating element to provide a warm, humid aerosol.

The Primary Life Support System is a unit permanently attached to the back of the torso and a control/display unit mounted in front. The backpack supplies pure oxygen(rather than air, a mix of nitrogen and oxygen) for breathing, and pressurizes the suit to keep body fluids in liquid form. It also ventilates the suit and circulates cooling water through the tubes in the undergarment next to the astronaut's body, absorbs carbon dioxide that the astronaut exhales and scrubs odors from the suit's atmosphere. 4, record 3, English, - primary%20life%20support%20system

Le système de survie de base est une unité fixée en permanence au dos de la combinaison et reliée à un cadran de commande monté à l'avant. Le système assure l'alimentation en oxygène pur (plutôt qu'en air, qui est un mélange d'azote et d'oxygène) pour la respiration, et pressurise la combinaison pour garder les fluides organiques sous forme liquide. I1 assure la ventilation de la combinaison et fait circuler l'eau de refroidissement dans les serpentins du sous-vêtement en contact direct avec la peau de l'astronaute. Enfin, il absorbe le dioxyde de carbone expiré par l'astronaute et désodorise l'air à l'intérieur de la combinaison. 3, record 3, French, - syst%C3%A8me%20de%20survie%20de%20base

Closed circuit SCBA... Compressed or liquid oxygen type. Equipped with a facepiece or mouthpiece and nose clamp. High-pressure oxygen from a gas cylinder passes through a high-pressure reducing valve and, in some designs, through a low-pressure admission valve to a breathing bag or container. Liquid oxygen is converted to low-pressure gaseous oxygen and delivered to the breathing bag. The wearer inhales from the bag, through a corrugated tube connected to a mouthpiece or facepiece and a one-way check valve. Exhaled air passes through another check valve and tube into a container of carbon-dioxide removing chemical and reenters the breathing bag. Make-up oxygen enters the bag continuously or as the bag deflates sufficiently to actuate an admission valve. 2, record 4, English, - breathing%20bag
