Oxygen Hood

What are Oxygen Hoods?

Oxygen hoods are specialized devices used in paediatric care to enclose an infant's or small child's head, providing a controlled environment for oxygen therapy. These hoods are designed with a gas inlet port to deliver oxygen, and exhaled gas primarily exits through an opening around the neck. Oxygen hoods offer oxygen concentrations of up to 80% to 90%, efficient humidification, and the ability to control the temperature within the hood. Importantly, they also allow healthcare providers easy access to the child for additional care and monitoring. Oxygen hoods are a valuable tool in paediatric healthcare for delivering oxygen therapy to young patients while ensuring their comfort and well-being. Oxygen is supplied to the hood through large-bore tubing, ensuring a stable Fraction of Inspired Oxygen (FiO2) that can be adjusted within a range of 21% to 100%.Read More
