RESCUE INHALER

摘要

A portable rescue inhaler having a first canister containing a gas mixture of helium, oxygen, and nitrogen, and having a second canister containing an aerosolized medicine. The gas mixture of helium, oxygen, and nitrogen contained in the first canister has a density slightly lower than the density of atmospheric air. The portable rescue inhaler is capable of delivering the lower density gas mixture simultaneously with the aerosolized medicine for emergency hand held rescue of patients suffering from asthma, asthmatic bronchitis, COPD, emphysema, cystic fibrosis, and myocardial insufficiency. The portable rescue inhaler is capable of providing a vaporized anesthetic for greater medical assistance for patients in need of anesthesia due to respiratory insufficiency. The portable rescue inhaler reduces intra-operative risks in respiratory patients prior to gaining access to a hospital or care center.

主权项

1. A rescue inhaler comprising:
a body having first and second connector portals; a first canister attachable to the first connector portal storing a gas mixture comprising helium, oxygen, nitrogen, and air gases; wherein the gas mixture has a density that is slightly lower than the density of atmospheric air; a second canister attachable to the second connector portal storing an aerosolized medicine; wherein the aerosolized medicine stored in the second canister is sprayed into an aerosol path when the second canister attached to the second connector portal is pushed upwards; a push button located outside the body of the rescue inhaler for activating a valve for releasing the gas mixture of the first canister into a gas path; and wherein the gas mixture flowing in the gas path pulls the aerosolized medicine from the aerosol path into the gas path leading the aerosolized medicine and the gas mixture to be discharged out of a mouth outlet.
