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 hand held use of anesthesia masks or nasal
cannula is stressful to the animal and labor intensive.
The Oxy Hood was developed to deliver oxygen in a
less restrictive and stressful environment. The Oxy Hood
uses the conventional cone shape of an Elizabethan collar
and 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.
Features:
• Collar is sewn to nylon fabric with a drawstring, plus velcro attachment
allows for proper neck sizing
• Lid, or face of unit is attached with zipper
• Clear plastic material is used throughout for better observation and
for the animal to see clearly
• Four sets of holes die cut to allow ventilation of carbon dioxide and
to maintain the oxygen level at more than 60 percent
• Very small animals can be placed totally in the larger Oxy Hood like an oxygen tent
• Comes with humidifier, oxygen nasal cannula, and oxygen tubing
