How To Carry Out Home Oxygen Therapy Scientifically 1?
Due to the impact of the epidemic, more and more people have realized the importance of oxygen therapy, and the sales of
oxygen concentrators are also increasing. Therefore, a deeper understanding of oxygen therapy is still very important for consumers.
1. A definition of oxygen therapy
Definition of oxygen therapy (Oxygen therapy): It is a medical treatment measure that corrects the patient's hypoxic
state by increasing the concentration of oxygen inhaled, with indications, goals, and purely for certain adverse reactions.
Long-term (long-term) home oxygen therapy (LTOT): refers to the inhalation of low-concentration oxygen for
more than 15 hours a day and night, and lasts for a long time (go to the hospital after 60-90 days to re-evaluate
whether to continue long-term oxygen therapy), so that PaO2≥mmHg or SaO2 An oxygen therapy method
that rises to 90%. The concentration is 24%-28%, and the oxygen flow rate is generally 1-2L/min.
2. The purpose of oxygen therapy
If you want to know how to inhale oxygen, you must know why you inhale oxygen? (Correct the misunderstanding
that it is only inhaling oxygen when you are uncomfortable)
What does oxygen therapy (oxygen concentrator) do?
Oxygen therapy has three purposes: 1 to improve hypoxemia; 2 to reduce the work of breathing; 3 to reduce the heart load.
Simple analysis: Correct the hypoxic state of the body (hypoxemia), thereby alleviating a series of physical problems caused by hypoxia.
The ultimate goal: to maintain adequate tissue oxygen delivery with minimal cardiopulmonary work. Correct
hypoxemia, reduce symptoms of chronic hypoxia, and reduce the increase in cardiac load caused by hypoxia.
So how can oxygen therapy achieve the above goals?
Oxygen therapy is to correct the hypoxic state of the body, so oxygen therapy is needed when there is hypoxia.
Oxygen therapy can maintain proper tissue oxygen supply with minimal cardiopulmonary work, so long-term
oxygen inhalation ahead of time reduces cardiopulmonary load.
That means long-term home oxygen therapy
The standard oxygen inhalation time of LTOT in the United States is more than 15 hours a day, and only inhaling
oxygen when uncomfortable is the biggest misunderstanding.
