Drug delivery hubs are described herein. The drug delivery hub includes a hub housing, a reservoir, a nebulizer channel, and a gas channel. The hub housing defines a housing volume. The hub housing is configured to directly couple with a mask defining a patient cavity. The reservoir is disposed at least partially within the housing volume. The reservoir includes a reservoir volume configured to dispense a medicament. The nebulizer channel is in fluid communication with the reservoir volume and configured to be in fluid communication with the patient cavity when the hub is coupled with the mask. The gas channel is in fluid communication with the nebulizer channel. The gas channel is configured to direct a gas flow toward the patient cavity through the nebulizer channel, drawing a portion of the medicament from the reservoir through the nebulizer channel with the gas flow toward the patient cavity.
