OxyHood, medium

The challenge of delivering oxygen to an animal in respiratory distress is difficult in most veterinary clinical situations. An oxygen cage or an ICU unit is an expense beyond the budget of most clinics. The handheld use of anesthesia masks or nasal cannula is stressful to the animal and labor intensive.

The OxyHood was developed to deliver oxygen in aless restrictive and stressful environment. The Oxy Hooduses the conventional cone shape of an Elizabethan collarand adds a clear plastic "lid" over the end. Numerous vent holes throughout the cone allows the excess gas to vent. Oxygen is provided to the Oxy Hood via a nasal cannula attached to the hood. The oxygen source uses a bubble humidifier to prevent drying of the respiratory tract.
