Aim: Conducting a pilot study to assess the effect of thermal heliox on the state of the respiratory tract by studying of the exhaled breath condensate protein composition before the thermal heliox procedure, immediately after and after three hours of relaxation Materials and methods. A comparative study of the exhaled breath condensates (EBC) protein composition of five non-smoking healthy donors was carried out. The EBC was taken before the respiratory procedure, immediately after a 20-minute inhalation by mixture of He/O2 gases (70/30) heated to 70C and 3 hours later. The protein composition was determined by chromatography-mass spectrometric analysis after selective tryptic hydrolysis. The results were processed using the Mascot program and the UniProt database.
Results: After the heliox procedure, the volume of the collected condensate (11.5 ml) decreases by an average of 32% and is practically restored after three hours of relaxation. Most proteins were consistent for all samples, regardless of the thermal heliox procedure. These are keratins, several proteins of the immune system (immunoglobulins, compliment proteins), tubulin. In samples after thermal heliox, the appearance of small amounts of additional proteins is observed. These are proteins of muscle metabolism (actin and calmodulin), fibrinogen, traces of hemoglobin, apolipoprotein, type B creatine kinase. After three hours of relaxation, tubulin disappears in the EBC.
Conclusion: Most exhaled proteins are the same before, after the procedure, and for three hours of relaxation. The results obtained demonstrate the relative safety of the use of high temperature heliox as a therapeutic agent.

SAMPLE 4 gas mixtures (medical air [21% O:79% N], > 95% O, O-enriched air [30% O:70% N], and heliox [30% O:70% He]). PROCEDURES For each gas mixture, reference Vs of 1 to 8 L were delivered into an anesthetic breathing circuit via calibration syringe; measurements recorded by a Pitot tube-based flow sensor (PTFS) connected to a multiparameter host anesthesia monitor and by a thermal mass flow and volume meter (TMFVM) were compared with the reference values.

Objective: The present study aimed to compare a range of cooling methods possibly utilised by occupational workers, focusing on their effect on body temperature, perception and manual dexterity.
Methods: Ten male participants completed eight trials involving 30 min of seated rest followed by 30 min of cooling or control of no cooling (CON) (34°C, 58% relative humidity). The cooling methods utilised were: ice cooling vest (CV0), phase change cooling vest melting at 14°C (CV14), evaporative cooling vest (CVEV), arm immersion in 10°C water (AI), portable water-perfused suit (WPS), heliox inhalation (HE) and ice slushy ingestion (SL).

Aim: Delay in instituting neuroprotective measures after cardiac arrest increases death and decreases neuronal recovery. Current hypothermia methods are slow, ineffective, unreliable, or highly invasive. We report the feasibility of rapid hypothermia induction in swine through augmented heat extraction from the lungs.

Since the discovery of helium in 1868, it has found numerous applications in industry and medicine. Its low density makes helium potentially valuable in respiratory care applications, to reduce work of breathing, improve distribution of ventilation, reduce minute volume requirement, and improve aerosol delivery. This review includes a brief history of the use of heliox (a mixture of helium and oxygen) and addresses issues related to the physics of gas flow when heliox is used.
