Abstract
An apparatus for providing a pressurized atmosphere to a patient including one or more flat sheets of plastic arranged in an envelope and sealed around the periphery to form an airtight container. The helmet has an airtight collar that is configured to accommodate a patient's neck and form an airtight seal. An intake port is integrated into the helmet and receives pressurized air. An exhaust port is integrated into the helmet near the patient's mouth when the helmet is in use. Additional ports can be added to the helmet to provide more functionality such as feeding or supplemental oxygen.
