Oxygen inhalation is used to correct hypoxia, improve arterial oxygen partial pressure and oxygen saturation level, and promote metabolism, which is one of the important methods for adjuvant treatment of many diseases. Such as respiratory failure, chronic tracheitis, cerebrovascular disease and coronary heart disease.
High concentration "oxygen therapy" may cause complications if you do not take oxygen blindly and without restriction according to the doctor's advice. At this time, it will inhibit breathing, cause oxygen poisoning, discomfort and pain behind the sternum, aggravate when inhaling, and cough and dyspnea. Under normal circumstances, healthy people are generally not deprived of oxygen, and the oxygen delivered to human tissues always exceeds the oxygen consumption of tissues.

Benefits of oxygen inhalation
1, oxygen inhalation can relieve angina pectoris and prevent the occurrence of myocardial infarction: angina pectoris is caused by acute myocardial hypoxia, which can cause myocardial infarction for more than 30 minutes and is a major risk factor for patients' death. Regular health care and oxygen inhalation or oxygen inhalation at onset can prevent or alleviate the occurrence of angina pectoris and myocardial infarction and buy time for treatment.
2. Oxygen inhalation can prevent sudden death of coronary heart disease: sudden death of coronary heart disease is difficult to prevent because of its special onset. Persistent mild brain tightness, shortness of breath, abnormal mood or arrhythmia often occur before onset. If oxygen therapy can be supplemented at this time, you can get twice the result with half the effort.
3. Oxygen inhalation has a good therapeutic effect on asthma: asthma is caused by the weakening of ventilation function between alveoli and the outside world due to bronchospasm and other conditions. Oxygen inhalation can increase the oxygen concentration in alveoli and help relieve asthma.
4. Oxygen inhalation can effectively treat emphysema, pulmonary heart disease and chronic bronchitis: all the medical records listed are caused by severe hypoxia, and oxygen inhalation can slow down the symptoms of hypoxia and significantly improve the oxygen saturation, which is more effective than simple drug treatment.
