Oxygen therapy is the administration of oxygen as a medical intervention, which can be for a variety of purposes in both chronic and acute patient care. Oxygen is essential for cell metabolism, and in turn, tissue oxygenation is essential for all normal physiological functions. Room air only contains 21% oxygen, and increasing the fraction of oxygen in the breathing gas increases the amount of oxygen in the blood. It is often only required to raise the fraction of oxygen delivered to 30–35% and this is done by use of a nasal cannula. When 100% oxygen is needed, it may be delivered via a tight-fitting face mask, or by supplying 100% oxygen to an incubator in the case of infants. Oxygen can be administered in other ways, including specific treatments at raised air pressure, such as hyperbaric oxygen therapy. High blood and tissue levels of oxygen can be helpful or damaging, depending on circumstances and oxygen therapy should be used to benefit the patient by increasing the supply of oxygen to the lungs and thereby increasing the availability of oxygen to the body tissues, especially when the patient is suffering from hypoxia and/or hypoxaemia. Indications for useOxygen is used as a medical treatment in both chronic and acute cases, and can be used in hospital, pre-hospital or entirely out of hospital, dependant on the needs of the patient and the views of the medical professional advising.

Asked by sundari - Fri May 5 06:57:51 2006 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments A. Hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) is oxygen at high pressure. Air contains nearly 21% oxygen, and more than 78% nitrogen. In hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBO), the oxygen percentage breathed by the patient is nearly or actually 100%, ie almost five times more than in air. The pressure of the oxygen breathed by the patient in HBO is usually more than 1.5 times (and can be as much as 3 times) greater than atmospheric pressure. So, HBOT can deliver to the patient nearly fifteen times as much oxygen as there is in air at normal pressure. The extra oxygen is breathed in through the lungs, and dissolved in the blood plasma: it is then delivered to any part of the body with a good blood supply. The effects of this extra oxygen are different in different… [cont.] Answered by Strawberry - Mon May 8 10:55:26 2006 From Yahoo Answer Search: "Oxygen Therapy" |
