How to use oxygen bag reasonably and correctly?
Domestic oxygen bags are relatively simple to use. Before use, connect the rubber hose of the oxygen bag filled with oxygen to the sterilized nasal catheter, then put the other end of the nasal catheter into a cup filled with cold boiled water and turn on the switch. If there are blisters in the water, it means that the oxygen flows out smoothly. If not, the nasal catheter needs to be replaced. Before inserting the nasal catheter into the nostril, wash the nostril with a cotton swab and a little cold boiled water, and then soak the nasal catheter with some cold boiled water for lubrication.
When using oxygen, please pay attention to the following questions:
First of all, the family oxygen bag
Before use, connect the rubber hose of the oxygen bag filled with oxygen to the sterilized nasal catheter, then put the other end of the nasal catheter into a cup filled with cold boiled water and turn on the switch. If there are blisters in the water, it means that the oxygen flows out smoothly. If not, the nasal catheter needs to be replaced. Before inserting the nasal catheter into the nostril, wash the nostril with a cotton swab and a little cold boiled water, and then soak the nasal catheter with some cold boiled water for lubrication.
At present, there are two commonly used nasal catheters: one is a thin rubber catheter, which needs to be inserted deeply into the nasopharynx through the nasal cavity; The other is plastic products, one end of which is round, which can be inserted shallowly and placed in the nostrils. Patients may feel a little itching and foreign body sensation in the nasal cavity after inserting nasal catheter. If you don't choke or sneeze, you can fix the nasal catheter on your upper lip with tape. The oxygen bag can be placed on the patient's head, and the weight of the head can hold down the oxygen bag and use oxygen to flow out.
When using, you should also pay attention to the following issues:
1. If it is a new oxygen bag, rinse it with clean water and dry it before use. Under normal circumstances, oxygen bags should be stored in a cool, ventilated and dry place to avoid heat sources and kindling.
2. After use, the nasal catheter can be washed with clear water and boiled for disinfection.
3. In order to prevent the nasal mucosa from being damaged and inflamed, the inflamed mucosa on both sides of the nasal cavity can be damaged and inflamed, and nasal catheters can be inserted on both sides of the nasal cavity in turn.
4, patients in oxygen, family members can't smoke nearby, ignition, mosquito-repellent incense, so as to avoid fire accidents.
5, patients who can't lie down, head can't pillow on the oxygen bag, family members should help squeeze the oxygen bag, or put something with appropriate weight on the oxygen bag to ensure the oxygen flow.
6. Oxygenate in time after use.
It should be pointed out that domestic oxygen is mainly suitable for some patients with chronic hypoxia, and is generally only used as an auxiliary measure for family first aid. If the condition is serious or acute hypoxia, you should go to the hospital for treatment in time. Please don't forget to use the oxygen bag on the way to the hospital.
Second, industrial oxygen.
Special oxygen bottles are used for industrial oxygen, and the following points should be paid attention to when using oxygen cylinders:
1. Be careful not to dump, and violent impact is prohibited.
2. Steel cylinders are high-pressure vessels. Please do not use it at a temperature higher than 50℃ and avoid direct sunlight.
3. Due to the combustion-supporting property of oxygen, please don't get close to the fire source or grease.
4. Studies have shown that long-term failure to change the water in the humidification bottle will cause infection, so please change the water in the humidification bottle regularly (it is recommended to change it once a day within 3 days, and the water in the humidification bottle should be distilled or purified as much as possible).
Oxygen itself will not burn, but it will help some combustible materials to burn, so please don't mix it with inflammable and explosive materials (such as firecrackers, gas tanks, paints, etc.). ).
6. Oxygen bottles can't run out of oxygen in the bottles. To prevent air from entering the bottle.
Tips: Because oxygen has the function of combustion-supporting, don't get close to fireworks when using oxygen, it will cause a fire if you are not careful.
