Inhalation therapy unit

1. Breathing apparatus with high-frequency respiration using a controller (7) by way of a high-frequency value (3) and a respiratory gas heater (4) in a respiratory gas circuit (2), which serves as a connection between a respiratory gas source (1) and a jet-orifice (5) in a tracheal tube, as well as with a steam generating device (10) controlled by the controller in dependence on the high-frequency valve, which device is attached to the respiratory gas circuit between the respiratory gas heater and the jet-orifice by way of a steam line (9), a temperature sensor (14) being arranged in the respiratory gas circuit (2) at its junction (8) with the steam line (9), said sensor being connected to a warning device (15).
