Abstract

 

Over the past 20 years, coronavirus outbreaks have been responsible for a large number of infected people and deaths. Currently, the pandemic caused by SARS-CoV-2, COVID-19 is still increasing that number daily. Infected people have mild to severe symptoms such as difficulty and respiratory failure and shortness of breath. In the most severe cases, oxygen therapy and mechanical ventilation are often used. As supportive therapy, oxygen tents can act as a strong ally in this fight. Therefore, the present review describes a worldwide panorama of patented oxygen tents that can act as supportive therapy to combat COVID-19. Of the selected patents, countries such as China, the United States, Japan, the Republic of Korea and the United Kingdom lead the ranking. The tents found have metal or plastic structures, flexible and transparent plastic material, portability, atmospheric pressure, oxygen concentration and temperature controlled. Therefore, based on the characteristics of the oxygen tents, this device we can used as an alternative to provide effective oxygen therapy to patients infected with SARS-CoV-2 who need therapeutic support.
