An apparatus for reversing inhaled anesthesia, which is configured to be positioned along a breathing circuit or anesthesia delivery circuit, includes a filter for removing one or more anesthetic agents from gases passing therethrough, as well as a component for elevating COlevels in gases that are to be inhaled by an individual. The apparatus is configured to be positioned between a Y-connector of the breathing circuit and the portion of the breathing circuit that interfaces with the individual. The COlevel-elevating component facilitates an increase in the ventilation of the individual without resulting in a significant decrease in the individual's PCOlevel and, thus, a decrease in the rate at which blood flows through the individual's brain. A method of reversing the effects of inhaled anesthesia includes increasing the rate of ventilation of an anesthetized individual while causing the individual to inhale gases with elevated amounts of COand while filtering anesthetic agents from such gases.

Systems, methods, and apparatus for removing volatile anesthetics from an anesthesia or ventilation system to minimize the effects of malignant hyperthermia in susceptible patients. According to one aspect of the present invention, a system for removing volatile anesthetics is provided. A first filter component placed in fluid communication with an inspiratory limb of an anesthesia or ventilation system such that volatile anesthetics will pass through the first filter component during operation of the anesthesia or ventilation system. A second filter component is operably coupled to the expiration port of the anesthesia or ventilation system such that gases passing through the expiratory limb of the anesthesia or ventilation system pass through the second filter component. The first filter component and second filter component are adapted to effectively remove volatile anesthetics passing through the respective filters.

The invention provides solutions to the problem connected with detached eye retinas and to methods that can promote the healing of the repaired retina. Instead of injecting gas bubbles or silicone oil into the eyeball, the invention proposes to inject magnetic particles inside the eye and use external magnets to urge the magnetic particles to move against the repaired area of the retina, thus forcing the retina against the eyeball walls, thus promoting the healing. Optional eye movement sensors can optimize the distribution of the magnetic particles, to optimize the force holding the retina in place, thus optimizing the healing benefits of using the proposed system. The magnetic particles can be bio-inert and/or degradable. Other helpful devices are proposed as well to reduce the stresses on the patient's neck muscles in case he/she still needs to hold the head in a certain position for a long period of time.
