Oxygen therapy involves oxygenation of the body for the treatment and prevention of diseases and successful rehabilitation. This method improves the condition and quality of life for patients suffering from asthma, hypoxia, chronic cardiovascular diseases, COPD, pulmonary hypertension, allergies, and immunodeficiency. The procedure aids in normalizing liver and kidney function and is recommended for circulatory and metabolic disorders. Oxygen therapy is prescribed by a doctor and carried out using specialized equipment.
During the therapeutic manipulation of tissues, blood is quickly saturated with oxygen, which ensures the normal functioning of organs and systems. There are two methods of oxygen therapy:
Inhalation — supplying oxygen to tissues and organs with the help of the respiratory system.
Non-inhalation — involves other ways of getting oxygen into the body.
Inhalation oxygen therapy uses special masks, nasal catheters, cannulas. Non-inhalation technique is associated with subcutaneous, enteral, intravenous administration of oxygen-enriched drugs.
All modes of oxygen therapy are conducted using oxygen mixtures, as pure oxygen is toxic to the human body. The optimal concentration for therapeutic use is 85-90%. To perform the procedure, doctors rely on appropriate oxygen therapy apparatus, such as:
barocamera;
concentrator;
oxygen pillow;
CPAP and BiPAP;
a cylinder with medical oxygen.
The use of a barocamera is a modern method of effectively combating hypoxia. The patient is in a special chamber where increased pressure is created. Such conditions contribute to a better assimilation of oxygen.
Concentrators are the devices that work on the principle of semipermeable membranes. They help to combat hypoxic complications. Devices are often equipped with humidifiers to make the oxygen mixture less irritating when inhaled.
The supply of the prepared mixture is carried out through a mask, nasal tubes. Oxygen therapy with a ventilator involves the use of intubation tubes. The dosage is calculated by the doctor on an individual basis. Manufacturers of medical equipment offer portable models of various devices that are allowed to use at home.
