A method and apparatus that provides a continuous source of medical grade air. A substantially tubular housing includes a first end, an aperture extending through the housing, and a second end, opposite the first end. A valve extends from the first end of the housing for dispensing medical grade air to a patient.

A universal respiratory detector for detecting a respiratory gas. The universal respiratory detector may include a plurality of layers with a visual indicator to quickly and reversibly change color to detect a respiratory gas parameter such as carbon dioxide. The color change may be visible from both sides of the detector. In some examples, the respiratory detector may be a biocompatible and conformable sticker for mounting on a person's face or an oxygen delivery device.

The present invention is a pressurized isolation unit dimensioned to cover the head and thoraco-abdominal region of a patient. The unit has a filtered pressure system and a flexible abdominal binding cover that wraps around the patient's abdomen.

A system configured to create a self-contained negative pressure environment (SCONE) to remove airborne particulates emitted from a patient. The system prevents exposure to pathogenic biological airborne particulates during triage, transportation, and treatment, including aerosol generating procedures (AGPs) and end of life care. This system is directed to a collapsible device having a flexible cover covering two support members, with openings in the flexible cover such that medical professionals can reach in and operate within. The present invention is further adaptable to patients and operating environments of various sizes.

The CPAP enclosure is for use in treating sleep apnea in a patient. The CPAP enclosure creates a protected space that contains atmospheric gases at an increased pressure. The increased pressure created within the protected space of the CPAP enclosure prevents the narrowing of the patient's breathing airways during sleep. The CPAP enclosure includes a tent, a valve structure, and a CPAP machine. The tent forms the protected space of the CPAP enclosure. The CPAP machine generates a flow of atmospheric gas under pressure that is pumped into the protected space of the CPAP enclosure. The valve structure controls the flow of atmospheric gas under pressure from the CPAP machine into the protected space of the CPAP enclosure. The valve structure controls the pressure of the atmospheric gas contained within the protected space of the CPAP enclosure.

Implementations of a respiratory isolation enclosure for patients comprise a side surface, an upper surface, and one or more access openings and ventilation openings, and in some implementations may further comprise a lower surface. In some implementations, a method of using the respiratory isolation enclosure for patients comprises positioning and enclosing a patient with an infectious disease in the respiratory enclosure to respiratorily isolate the patient and prevent the spread of the disease from the patient to healthcare providers or other persons.

A chamber for placement over a patient while allowing medical personnel to perform a medical procedure on the patient releasing virus, bacteria, or other contaminants, including a frame forming, supporting, and operatively integrated within a transparent body including a supported arch, an unsupported arch, and a top shield extending between the supported arch and the unsupported arch, wherein the body includes at least one access hole, and wherein the chamber surrounds the patient's head and the unsupported arch deforms around the patient's body in order to capture and exhaust any virus, bacteria, or other contaminants released by the patient during the medical procedure through negative pressure. A method of using the chamber of to perform a medical procedure on a patient. Methods of preventing exposure to waste anesthetic gas released from a patient after surgery, and preventing exposure to ultrafine particles and volatile organic compounds during 3D printer use.
