Abstract
A system for applying a controlled atmosphere for breathing by a patient, in the treatment of croup or the like, includes a head piece which has a portion extending over the temple, a portion extending over the top of the head in the form of adjustable straps, and an elastic strap extending behind the head. A front support frame is connected to the head piece, and a U-shaped flexible gas delivery tube is supported on the frame. Nebulized oxygen enriched fog may be delivered from a nebulizer to the tube and emitted through orifices formed on an inside surface of the tube, at the ascending portions near the corners of the horizontal bottom portion, to form streams which are directed toward each other and which coalesce at a region in front of the face and mouth of the patient, for breathing by the patient. The support frame is pivotally mounted on the headgear so that it may be moved from its normal lowered position to a raised position to move the delivery tube out of the patient's way for eating and drinking.
