For sale:RES-Q-AIR model HT-1000 A Non-Invasive Core Rewarming System for hypothermia and trauma victims.
The item is new, never used.
The RES-Q - AIR™ is a non-invasive Core Rewarming System, going right to the heart of the problem for hypothermia and trauma victims thermally stabilizing "critical" the core temperature in the field and during transportation in-route to the hospital. Inhalation rewarming is a simple, non-invasive treatment suitable for active core rewarming in the field, available to rescuers, paramedics and first responders to thermally stabilize the "critical" core temperature in the field. In order to have full functionality, this systems requires additional accessories. For use in the field, this unit requires a battery (RMI: 4995) and power supply/charger (RMI: 4996). For office use only the power supply/charger (RMI: 4996) is required. Finally, the Res-Q - Air Cigarette Lighter Adapter Cord (RMI 4997) allows for use in a vehicle.
Hypothermia treatment, described in many current protocols such as the State of Alaska Cold Injuries Guidelines (Revised 1/2005) recommend that heated 108° F (42° C) and humidified oxygen or air should be administered
The RES-Q - AIR® is a non-invasive Core Rewarming System, going right to the heart of the problem for hypothermia and trauma victims, by stabilizing the thermally "critical core" temperature in the field and during transportation in-route to the hospital.
* Pre-hospital stabilization; continued cooling if not arrested, can lead to ventricular fibrillation of the heart. Preventing cardiac dysrhythmias must be the highest priority, patients with a temperature below 30° C or 80° F, may not respond to defibrillation. Thermally stabilizing a patient is necessary to prevent cardiac complications.
* Inhalation rewarming; is a simple, non-invasive treatment suitable for active core rewarming in the field, available to rescuers, paramedics and first responders to thermally stabilize the "critical" core temperature in the field.
* Core rewarming; It is very effective and safe treatment for all levels of hypothermia, heat directly to the head, neck, thoracic and donating core (the critical core) through inhalation of warm water-saturated air or oxygen.
* This method also warms the hypothalamus, the temperature regulation center, the respiratory center, and the cardiac center at the base of the brainstem, this rewarming of the central nervous system at the brainstem reverses the cold-induced depression of the respiratory centers and improves the level of consciousness.
Alaskan protocol and JAMA. The Res-Q - Air Oxygen Warming system increases probability of survival for hypothermia victims.
The Res-Q - Air system is specially designed to provide warm, humidified air or oxygen, enchance heat directly to the 'core'.
Helps stabilise core temperature of hypothermia victims, reducing possible cardiac complications in the field.
Simple, positive automated electronic temperature control.
May be operated from any 12V DC power source (i.e. car, boat, ATV, helicopter).
Current drain is only 6 amps.
Minimal training required to operate:
Pour in 70ml of water
Plug into power source
Apply the face mask
