Canadian Grand Prior donates Hyperbaric oxygen therapy tools for Corona Virus (April 2020)
The Grand Prior of Canada, Dame Tami Petroski, together with her formidable team of volunteers and social workers, has been in the forefront of the fight against COVID 19. An ER surgery from Calgary reached out to the former to see if her team could help.
The ER surgeon involved in such a request was trying to figure something out in the event they would need to put someone on a ventilator. This is due to the fact that there are concerns that droplets are released when one is on a ventilator.
‘I sent him a sealed hood that we use for Hyperbaric oxygen therapy. It will keep the air droplets inside,’ stated Dame Petroski.
Her team, including clinician Shane Campbell signed up to volunteer in the COVID isolation shelter/unit for the homeless. Shane Campbell is a 2 time world champion MMA fighter.
