Abstract
A system () configured to facilitate humidification of a pressurized flow of breathable gas delivered to a subject () comprises a pressure generator (), a nebulizer (), a heater (), one or more hardware processors (), and/or other components. The pressure generator is configured to generate a pressurized flow of breathable gas for delivery to an airway () within a trachea of the subject. The nebulizer is configured to provide fluid droplets () to the breathable gas. The heater is configured to heat a volume of the breathable gas before the droplets are supplied to the breathable gas. The breathable gas received by the subject exhibits a target temperature and humidity level at short distance d from the nebulizer due to one or more of a number of the droplets, an average size of the droplets, a gas flow rate, and/or an amount of heating power.
