A method for treating a patient with a traumatic brain injury including performing Ketamine Infusion Therapy on the patient, performing hyperbaric oxygen therapy on the patient, intranasally infusing plasma into the patient, and intranasally infusing diluted insulin into the patient. Performing hyperbaric oxygen therapy on the patient may include placing the patient into a hyperbaric chamber, sealing and pressurizing the hyperbaric chamber, and pumping oxygen into the hyperbaric chamber while it is pressurized. Before intranasally infusing plasma into the patient, the method may include drawing blood from the patient and centrifugally extracting the plasma from the drawn blood, such as platelet rich plasma (PRP). Before drawing blood from the patient, the method may include intravenously injecting the patient with supplements, such as a combination of magnesium, calcium, B-vitamins, Vitamin C, nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+), and Glutathione.

There is disclosed a method and system for determining the partial pressure of at least one gas in a mixture of gasses contained in a pressure vessel, in particular a pressure vessel in the form of a life support pressure chamber/decompression chamber, or a diving gas storage cylinder. The method comprises the steps of: coupling a gas analysis sensor (14) to a pressure vessel (10); directing a portion of the mixture of gasses in the pressure vessel to the sensor for analysis; reducing the pressure of the portion of the mixture which is to be analyzed by the sensor to a level which is below the pressure in the vessel but above local atmospheric pressure; operating the sensor to measure the partial pressure of the at least one gas at the reduced pressure level; and using the partial pressure of the at least one gas, measured at the reduced pressure level, to determine the actual partial pressure of said gas in the mixture contained in the vessel.

The present invention is a urinary catheter with media injection channel suited for prostatitis treatment and therapy. The urinary catheter with media injection channel contains a catheter body, an injection channel, and at least one injection aperture. The catheter body contains a bladder opening, a balloon, and a utility port. The bladder opening and the utility port are positioned terminally opposite to each other along the catheter body. The balloon is positioned between the bladder opening and the utility port. At least one injection aperture is positioned adjacent to the balloon, opposite to the bladder opening. At least one injection aperture is distributed about the catheter body. The injection channel traverses from the utility port to the at least one injection aperture.

A portable, personal therapy chamber for provision of infrared radiation therapy. The therapy chamber includes a pair of telescopically positionable cabins that are lightweight and easily portable by a single user. The therapy chamber is configured for use by a single person lying generally prone on a surface. The cabins are disposed to overlie the user and include a plurality of infrared radiation elements that direct infrared energy toward the user's body. When using the therapy chamber, the user's head extends from an open end of the cabin. A facial treatment fixture is integrated with the cabin to be extendable longitudinally from a terminal end thereof and to overlie the user's face/head. The therapy chamber can be configured to provide mild hyperbaric oxygen therapy in addition to infrared therapy.

A system for cooling a pressurized hyperbaric chamber without pressure change includes an air compressing unit, an air cooling unit, and an air discharging hose. The pressurized hyperbaric chamber, the air compressing unit, the air cooling unit, and the air discharging hose are in fluid communication with each other. A flow of output warm air from the pressurized hyperbaric chamber is withdrawn and discharged into the air cooling unit by the air compressing unit. A heat exchanger of the air cooling unit then removes heat energy from the flow of output warm air to convert the flow of output warm air into a flow of input cold air, as the heat exchanger is in fluid communication with stored ice water within an insulated reservoir of the air cooling unit. The flow of input cold air is then discharged back into the pressurized hyperbaric chamber through the air discharging hose.

A method of identifying a subdermal feature in a subject includes directing optical energy into a subject to photoacoustically generate ultrasonic waves from a dermal or subdermal feature in tissue. Signals representing ultrasonic waves that are generated from the dermal or subdermal feature are received. The signals representing the ultrasonic waves are processed to generate image data of the dermal or subdermal feature. It is determined from the image data that the dermal or subdermal feature is a non-healing skin lesion selected from the group including a pressure ulcer, a diabetic foot ulcer, an arterial insufficiency injury, a decubitus ulcer, a diabetic ulcer, and an insufficiency injury.

A system and method of administrating conventional hyperbaric chamber therapy as well as supplemental oxygen therapy at ambient conditions to an animal using a veterinary hyperbaric chamber. The hyperbaric chamber can function in its usual mode of operation; i.e., providing oxygen at greater than atmospheric pressure and also in a second mode of operation to administer supplemental oxygen thereafter at ambient pressure conditions. In the second mode of operation, the method and apparatus may deliver approximately 80 liters per minute continuous flow of 0.21 through 1.0 FI02 adjustable oxygen gas mixture. The mixture is delivered at ambient pressure from one end of the chamber, flows across the animal positioned within the hyperbaric chamber, and exits at the opposite end for exhaust to ambient conditions. A high flow gas mixture is utilized to maintain accurate gas mixture concentrations with fluctuating supply pressures of medical air and medical oxygen gases.

A localized topical hyperbaric therapeutic instrument, comprising: a primary airbag, which is a chamber with an opening at an end; an oxygen generating device, which comprises an oxygen generator and a first pressure controller, wherein the oxygen generator has an oxygen outlet which communicates with the primary airbag through a first air inlet line and supplies oxygen into the primary airbag, and wherein the first pressure controller controls an amount of oxygen supplied to the primary airbag by the oxygen generator; a massage device; a heating piece, which is arranged in the primary airbag and generates heat; a treatment unit, which is arranged in the primary airbag in a detachable manner, disposed at a position corresponding to the heating piece, and comprises medical ingredients which are volatile upon heating.

A portable hyperbaric chamber device with forward-facing door includes a frame, an inflatable chamber, a dump valve, at least one primary pressure relief valve, at least one secondary pressure relief valve, a plurality of fill valves. Access to the inflatable chamber is gain through a door panel of the inflatable chamber. The inflatable chamber is positioned within and secured to the frame. The plurality of fill valves is in fluid communication with the inflatable chamber so that the inflatable chamber can be pressured for usage. The dump valve is in fluid communication with the inflatable chamber to deflate the inflatable chamber. The primary pressure relief valve and the secondary pressure relief valve are in fluid communication with the inflatable chamber to maintain a safe internal pressure within the inflatable chamber to protect wellbeing of the users and the structural integrity of the complete apparatus.
