No. 143. Dr. Joyce Harman and Steven Maclin discuss CO2 treatment for equine illness and injury.

Dr. Joyce Harman, a regular on Webinars with Wendy is a holistic veterinarian. She has been using the AirJector-Vet® to treat horses for a variety of conditions. In this webinar, Airjector-Vet representative, Steve Maclin and Dr. Harman will discuss case studies. Medical therapy through the skin is a well-described practice. Transdermal applications of patches containing medicine for treating pain, nausea, heart failure, and dementia are commonplace. All these regimens permit the prolonged transfer of drugs into the body, so there is a continuous amount of the drug in the bloodstream. An alternative option for transdermal therapy is to use gas, instead of a patch. The use of gas has been less common due to the difficulty in transporting the gas and administering it in a controlled fashion. AirJector•Vet solves those issues and allows veterinarians to offer this therapeutic option in an easy to use portable and low-cost format. The AirJector•Vet uses Respidox pharmacopeia grade medical gases to vaporize warm water into a therapeutic mist that is enclosed around the therapy site in a sealed environment of pure gas. This sealed atmosphere maximizes the continuous transfer of gas into the tissue for the full twenty to thirty-minute therapy cycle.
