  • Frequently Asked Questions (Faqs)
    Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) What is hyperbaric oxygen therapy? Commonly referred to as HBOT, hyperbaric oxygen therapy enhances the body’s natural healing process by delivering oxygen under pressure, which increases the oxygen content in the blood, plasma, cerebral spinal fluid, and other body tissues. There are two basic types of HBOT—hard HBOT and mild HBOT. With hard HBOT, treatments are delivered in a hard-sided chamber typically at pressures greater than 1.5 ATA and using 100% oxygen. 100% oxygen is extremely flammable; therefore, hard HBOT involves managing the risk of explosion. Another concern with hard HBOT is oxygen toxicity. While hard HBOT with 100% oxygen results in greater oxygen saturation in the tissues, many conditions respond better to mild HBOT. In clinical trials to date, there has been virtually no difference in clinical outcome between mild HBOT and hard HBOT. Mild HBOT refers to hyperbaric oxygen therapy at lower pressures, typically 1.5 ATA or below, and the use of an oxygen concentrator delivering 90-95% oxygen inside a portable soft-sided chamber. Mild HBOT has no known safety risks with fire or toxicity, and it is substantially less expensive. Our facility provides concentrated oxygen (90-95%) at 1.3 ATA—(Mild HBOT)a highly effective combination clinically, and without the risk of oxygen toxicity or explosion, as 100% oxygen is avoided. How should I expect mild HBOT to feel? You will be seated or lying down inside the chamber, relaxing comfortably in your own clothing, as you breathe concentrated oxygen (90-95% O2) through a facemask.

  • Oxymask™ Empower Best Practice
    OxyMask™ Empower Best Practice. Safer Care. Exceptional Experience. Clinical Evidence Summary Executive Summary OxyMask is a solution for safer, more efficient oxygen delivery. It is an all-in-one replacement for other oxygen delivery modalities, such as the venturi mask and non-rebreather mask. The unique OxyMask technology helps enhance patient experience, increase efficiency, and reduce costs. Introduction: Enhance Patient Experience In an ever-competitive healthcare market, patient experience is at the forefront of advances in healthcare. Patients treated with oxygen therapy may feel they are trapped or helpless.1 Patient-centered solutions are increasingly recommended in policy and research.2 OxyMask brings patient-centered care to fruition through its design and dependability. Patient-centered design OxyMask utilizes a light-weight, open design that: • Sits lightly on the face • Allows unrestricted communication • Allows for oral medication delivery • May reduce the feeling of claustrophobia Dependability OxyMask is clinically proven to deliver more oxygen at lower flow rates compared to traditional delivery methods.3 Additionally, laboratory testing suggests that OxyMask reduces the risk of carbon dioxide rebreathing when compared to non-rebreather masks.4,5 OxyMask™ OxyMask Delivers Oxygen More Efficiently OxyMask May Reduce the Risk of Carbon Than a Venturi Mask3 Dioxide Rebreathing Compared to a Beecroft JM, Hanly PJ.

  • How to Deliver Aerosolized Medications Through High Flow Nasal Cannula Safely and Effectively in the Era of COVID-19 and Beyond: a Narrative Review
    NARRATIVE REVIEW How to deliver aerosolized medications through high flow nasal cannula safely and effectively in the era of COVID-19 and beyond: A narrative review Arzu Ari, PhD, RRT, PT, CPFT, FAARC, FCCP1, Gerald B. Moody, BSRC, RRT-NPS2 A Ari, GB Moody. How to deliver aerosolized medications through high flow nasal cannula safely and effectively in the era of COVID-19 and beyond: A narrative review. Can J Respir Ther 2021;57:22–25. doi: 10.29390/cjrt-2020-041. Background: The treatments of COVID-19 involve some degree of uncertainty. Current evidence also shows mixed findings with regards to bioaerosol dispersion and airborne transmission of COVID-19 during high flow nasal cannula (HFNC) therapy. While coping with this global pandemic created hot debates on the use of HFNC, it is important to bring detached opinions and current evidence to the attention of health care professionals (HCPs) who may need to use HFNC in patients with COVID-19. Aim: The purpose of this paper is to provide a framework on the selection, placement, and use of nebulizers as well as HFNC prongs, gas flow, and delivery technique via HFNC to help clinicians deliver aerosolized medications through HFNC safely and effectively in the era of COVID-19 and beyond. Methods: We searched PubMed, Medline, CINAHL, and Science Direct to identify studies on aerosol drug delivery through HFNC using the following keywords: (“aerosols,” OR “nebulizers”) AND (“high flow nasal cannula” OR “high flow oxygen therapy” OR “HFNC”) AND (“COVID-19,” OR “SARS- CoV-2”). Twenty-eight articles including in vitro studies, randomized clinical trials, scintigraphy studies, review articles, prospective and retrospective research were included in this review.
