An aerosol delivery system including an aerosol generator that aerosolizes a fluid for delivery to a patient when the patient inhales. The aerosol delivery system includes a pump that is coupled to the aerosol generator and pumps fluid to the aerosol generator, and a respiratory sensor that emits a signal when the patient breathes. The controller is connected to the aerosol generator, pump, and respiratory sensor. During operation, the controller receives a signal from the respiration sensor and controls the flow of fluid to the aerosol generator in response to the signal to control the aerosol generator to aerosolize the fluid prior to inhalation by the patient.
