Abstract: A hyperbaric apparatus with storage compartment is provided comprising a chamber for housing a patient and administration of hyperbaric therapy, a moveable patient support platform for receiving the patient and for transferring the patient into and/or out of the chamber, and a base comprising a storage compartment for stowing a patient transport device. The storage compartment conveniently stows the patient transport device, excluding it from the space surrounding the hyperbaric chamber, thereby freeing-up floor space surrounding the hyperbaric treatment area, while keeping the transport device close-at-hand for removal of the patient upon the conclusion of hyperbaric treatment.

Abstract: An improved device for providing a patient triggered breath to a patient including a ventilator having one tube that supplies a flow of a gas and another tube that delivers gas to an exhalation valve, an endo-tracheal tube that is in communication with the lungs of the patient, and a connector for connecting the supply tube from the ventilator to the endo-trachael tube. The connector has a chamber and a two-way check valve, the two-way check valve having an inhalation check valve and an exhalation check valve. The wall of the connector may further include an opening for connection to a pressure transducer. The volume of the chamber of the connector is between about 1.0 cm3 to 1.3 cm3 and the exhalation valve is selectively moved from its opened position to its closed position when the pressure transducer senses a reduction in pressure within the chamber of between about 0.25 cm of water and 2.
