Rhode Island Clinicians to Implement New Non-Invasive Ventilation to Help Prevent Strain on Hospitals During COVID-19 Surge

In Frankivsk OKL patients are saved from lack of oxygen with the help of special helmets

The other day a special helmet was used for the first time to treat patients with severe respiratory failure. Doctors say that this innovative method of non-invasive lung ventilation has its advantages and both specialists and patients have already seen its effectiveness. This is reported on the page of the institution. “Such helmets were first used in Italy by pandemics, but we did not have this…

Simple technique for Helmet/Hooded NIV

After several months of exhaustive benchtop study, we have developed a helmet/hooded positive airway pressure (HPAP) kit and technique to administer non-invasive ventilation. This is the most simplified means to administer helmet NIV, and may prove hugely beneficial in areas now experiencing hospital overburdens.

Changes brought on by COVID-19 easing foreigntrade efforts for R.I. businesses

For some companies, business with other countries has never been better.

North Kingstown based Subsalve USA Corp., which manufacturers products such as lift bags, flotation bags and bomb-recovery systems, had planned to attend several in-person trade shows this year, but all were postponed.

That hasn’t hurt sales in foreign markets, though.Typically, 50% of Subsalve’s $6 million in annual revenue…

Ancient Alien Ancestors | a Review

It’s  been  some  time  since I’ve indulged in night  time  reading,  so  I just  recently  picked  up  the  second book in  the  series by Will Hart, Ancient  Alien  Ancestors. This is the follow up to his the Genesis Race which I reviewed back in 2011, and the prequel to a new title to be released soon.

The book takes on the rather provocative topic of our [human] presence here on Earth being…

Subsalve Oxygen Treatment Hood, SS-TH. http://www.oxygentreatmenthoods.com

“By early May 2020, the H-CPAP program was approved by our institutional leadership and in our collective experience of three early helmet-adopting institutions, we have treated a total of 60 patients with helmet CPAP. Approximately 30–50% of these patients were successfully managed with helmet respiratory support, not…

Ventilating without ventilators | keeping is simple with Oxygen Treatment Hoods

I’ll preface this with the fact that I am not a physician, nor am I in any way qualified to prescribe any type of respiratory support, other than emergently administer oxygen following a diving accident…

The latter part of that statement should resonate a bit – yes, the administration of therapeutic oxygen is a first line defense in any suspected pressure related diving injury. In fact, any…

Biospace: A Helmet-Based Ventilator Alternative for COVID-19 Patients

On August 6, 2020, the FDA issued an Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) for the Subsalve Oxygen Treatment Hood. It is the only helmet-based ventilator to be FDA approved and the first to be approved for COVID-19 related respiratory distress. Previously, it has been used off-label. More than 20,000 hoods have been distributed internationally over the past few months.

Many people have sprung into…

Rhode Island initiative breathes new life into the Covid-19 Pandemic

Oxygen Treatment Hoods prove to save lives in Bolivia and around the world

One critical solution to the global ventilator shortage may be reducing the need for ventilators altogether.

Hood/helmet Positive Airway Pressure (HPAP) is a mode of non-invasive ventilation (NIV) that has been used in Italy and elsewhere for decades to treat Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome, or ARDS, and with…

Helmet Ventilation Saving Lives in Honduras | Help us Help

The Hospital Escuela Universitario im Tegucigalpa in Honduras, Central America received our aid package of innovative KN95 PPE respirators and they are being used immediately by medical staff to allow more time spent with patients – this means more patients cared for during this pandemic.

This aid package took almost 2 months to be delivered! Help us break down these barriers!

Helmet Ventilation Saving Lives in Nicaragua | Help us Help

Recent reports from the national hospital in Managua, Nicaragua revealed the successful use of helmet positive airway pressure (HPAP) ventilation therapy for non-invasive ventilation of Covid patients. Access to this treatment technology has been made possible with community generated support (community GoFundMe).

Ocean Opportunity Inc., a 501(c)3 not for profit organization, has responded to…

Helmet/Hooded Non Invasive Ventilation | Webinar with The Health Bank

I am very pleased to share the webinar recording for ‘Helmet/Hooded Non Invasive Ventilation hosted by The Health Bank’ on 6/15/2020.

The use of non-invasive ventilation (NIV) via helmet is an alternative solution to more invasive endotracheal intubation, and an effective way to treat Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome and patients with COVID-19. This has potential to free up ICU beds and…

Helmet Non Invasive Ventilation (NIV) | Configuring a Feature Rich Respiratory Circuit

Albeit extremely new in the US, helmet based ventilationis a growing interest within the medical community, and its simplicity and modularity are allowing use configurations in resource limited settings that enable significant reductions in ventilator demands. We are now seeing helmet NIV driven with wall-gas titration, driven with BiPAP, driven with modified CPAP, and even other novel and…

Helmets breathe new life into the Covid-19 battle

The Covid-19 virus has shaken the world. But it has also inspired both entrepreneurs and physicians into re-thinking practices. One key area is ventilation and here we discover how a start-up initiative is driving innovation in an overlooked treatment method. (read more)

Reducing the Need for Ventilators Altogether | Oxygen Treatment Hoods

Did the ventilator shortage frenzy go away? Perhaps, or perhaps not – it may be that the important part to the Covid-19 equation is reducing the need for ventilators altogether – and that is starting to go noticed.

The need for intubation and ventilator use comes with massive challenges, many of which are equally as complicated as sourcing large numbers of ventilators to begin with. For instance,…
