- Pulse oximetry level [ Time Frame: Change from Baseline pulse oximetry level at 15 minutes post treatment ]The primary endpoint for this feasibility study is pulse oximetry level after treatment with a Bidirectional Oxygenation Valve
- Respiratory rate [ Time Frame: Change from Baseline clinical measurements at 15 minutes post treatment ]
- Heart rate [ Time Frame: Change from Baseline clinical measurements at 15 minutes post treatment ]
- Blood pressure [ Time Frame: Change from Baseline clinical measurements at 15 minutes post treatment ]
- Systemic carbon dioxide [ Time Frame: Change from Baseline clinical measurements at 15 minutes post treatment ]Venous and arterial blood gases, if available, will be combined to report systemic carbon dioxide.
