A delivery device for a compound including: a housing, vial holding a compound; and a source of propellant, wherein the housing provides an inlet and an outlet for the vial, wherein the inlet is in fluid communication with the source of propellant and is directed against the in-line nasal delivery device compound and the outlet allows for delivery of the compound.

An intubation assembly and shield configured to at least partially reduce the risk of contagion of airborne illnesses. The intubation assembly comprises an intubation apparatus assembly, which may comprise an intubation apparatus such as a laryngoscope, endoscope, bronchoscope, or other fiberoptic device. The intubation apparatus assembly may be operatively disposed on the shield assembly. The intubation apparatus may be placed on a correspondingly dimensioned sleeve. The shield assembly comprises a body with a plurality of side segments and a first transparent component with a shield opening disposed thereon. The shield opening may be used for insertion of the intubation apparatus assembly. The shield assembly may also comprise a second transparent component with at least one longitudinally disposed slot for insertion of an endotracheal tube or other intubation apparatus(es). The shield assembly may be provided with ports to attach a vacuum device to provide negative pressure.

A patient airway dome including an adjustable frame having a hinge such that the hinge allows the frame to adjust between an erected position to create an airway dome and a collapsed position that allows the frame to lay flat, a dome covering located over the retractable frame, a suction port which is connected to a conventional device in order to provide negative pressure to patient airway dome, and an arm access assembly operatively connected to the dome covering, wherein the arm access assembly includes an opening in the dome covering and a closure assembly located adjacent to the opening.

A constriction device (100) adapted to be placed on the head of a patient for regulating the temperature of the brain. The constriction device comprises at least two protruding pressure elements (101a′, 101b′, 101c′) configured to create bilateral pressure on at least one from a list consisting of: the facial veins (10), the superficial temporal veins (20), the posterior auricular veins (30), and the occipital veins (40), such that the blood flow in the constricted veins is restricted.

The improved endoscopy mask is a single-use, lightweight, disposable, easy-to-use endoscopy mask that is secured around the patient's head and neck. It contains the spread of any respiratory pathogens during upper G.I. endoscopy and extubation, thereby allowing the gastroenterologist to insert and withdraw the gastroscope (upper G.I. endoscope) through an opening in the mask. The mask can be utilized for airway intervention to contain pathogens in the intensive care unit (ICU), emergency department (ED), operating room (OR), and the G.I. endoscopy suite. It can also potentially be utilized away from the hospital in ambulances, hospice care, and nursing homes. The endoscopy mask confines potentially dangerous airway secretions to a sealed area around the patient's nose and mouth.

An apparatus for selectively coupling a first tube and a second tube allows easy separation and connection of tubing in cases of accidental or forceful removal of the tube. A first connecting member and a second connecting member can be easily connected and disconnected as needed to prevent and allow fluid flow to and from a patient. The apparatus can be applied to prevent the accidental removal of patients undergoing extended treatments involving tubes entering the body in the clinical, geriatric, or other care settings. The apparatus also allows for the purposeful detachment and sealing of tubes entering the body to allow for increased patient mobility.
