Oxygen therapy should be?

Oxygen therapy is to correct hypoxia targeted measures to increase the oxygen clinical concentration, increased alveolar oxygen pressure, oxygen saturation and content to ensure that tissue oxygen supply.

Oxygen therapy reoxygenation there are two ways: One is the low concentration of oxygen, and the other is a high concentration of oxygen.

Low oxygen concentration: general for chronic bronchitis, emphysema and pulmonary heart disease, also known as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, chronic respiratory failure in the loss of compensatory time, oxygen must take into account the increase in blood oxygen, oxygen - too much pressure can weaken the carotid sinus reflex on the respiratory center of stimulation, thereby reducing ventilation, increasing the possibility of carbon dioxide retention. Therefore, we should be prudent and use oxygen, the general use of low concentrations of oxygen and, if necessary, and mechanical respiratory therapists.

High concentrations of oxygen: in patients with acute respiratory failure such as respiratory, cardiac arrest, acute respiratory distress syndrome, acute respiratory depression, and so on, must be spring or the use of high concentrations of oxygen for emergency treatment, but not long-term use to prevent or oxygen poisoning other complications.

In short, in the oxygen attention should be paid to the inappropriate application of oxygen also have side effects, particularly for patients. Should be under the guidance of physicians in the application.
