Shanghai's largest household oxygen company shut down production after the cut-off of supply, the main impact is in four areas.
The first directly affected by the more serious is the need to use oxygen patients, because at this stage the epidemic in Shanghai is still in the high growth stage, the various regions of the district are still closed during the part of the patient suffers from a series of respiratory diseases such as asthma, or part of the pregnant woman in the late stages of pregnancy may need to use home oxygen to relieve their own respiratory problems, especially asthma and other respiratory diseases, once the disease occurs and there is no spare oxygen at home when you have no oxygen. When the disease occurs and there is no spare oxygen at home, it will directly threaten the patient's life safety. The second more serious impact is the hospital oxygen, this is the Omicron variant strain, infected people because each person's physical condition is not the same, so the disease caused by the same, some patients are very obvious, vomiting and diarrhea, persistent high fever and respiratory difficulties, this time there is not enough oxygen to the patient continuous input, it is easy to make the patient lose consciousness eventually lead to the patient's death.
The third more serious impact is that the Shanghai Shenwei medical gas company produces oxygen is not only limited to the supply to Shanghai, the company produces oxygen is also supplied to other areas, so the Shenwei medical gas company shut down, it will exacerbate the burden of the surrounding areas of the oxygen production company, resulting in part of the regional oxygen supply shortage, in addition to the face of the recent regions have appeared one after another, the epidemic cases. In addition, in the face of the recent epidemic cases in various regions, it is more so that the medical oxygen supply is facing a severe form.
The fourth impact is that the shortage of medical oxygen is very likely to cause the price of the remaining medical oxygen to rise, thus exacerbating the economic burden on patients. China's Shanghai has a large population, the number of patients with such a disease is also not a few, so once a number of patients with the disease, medical oxygen supply exceeds demand, thus raising the price of medical oxygen, so that part of the general public can not afford, so the current should speed up the surrounding areas of the medical oxygen production speed, to ensure the quality of at the same time enhance the speed of production, to alleviate the demand for the supply of medical oxygen to alleviate the pain of the patient's condition.
