Oxygen tube significance and role
Oxygen inhalation is used to correct hypoxia, improve the partial pressure of arterial blood oxygen and oxygen saturation level, promote metabolism, is one of the important methods of auxiliary treatment of a variety of diseases, such as respiratory failure, chronic bronchitis, cerebrovascular disease, coronary heart disease.
Clinical hypoxia symptoms are not obvious, there may also be oxygen debt, may also be microcirculation metabolic abnormalities, and thus may require oxygen. Such as certain surgical patients before and after surgery, hemorrhagic shock patients, poor fetal heart sound or long labor and delivery patients, etc. Nasal plug and nasal catheter oxygenation method nasal plug method is a nasal plug is placed in one side of the nasal vestibule, and with the nasal cavity in close contact with the oxygen intake.
Nasal catheter method is a catheter inserted into the nasal cavity at the top of the oxygen inhalation, mask oxygen inhalation method will mask to cover the patient's mouth and nose oxygen inhalation, better than nasal plug and nasal catheter oxygen inhalation method, but may cause respiratory acidosis, oral oxygen inhalation method, if the patient's nasal congestion or open-mouth respiration, you can inhalation of oxygen through the mouth, i.e., with a larger catheter into the oral cavity to inhalation of oxygen.
