Oxygen therapy

Evaluation of adherence to oxygen therapy standards before, during and after oxygen hood administration

Background and Purpose: Oxygen therapy is one of the common treatments for neonates with cardiopulmonary disease. The aim of this study was to evaluate adherence to oxygen therapy standards by nurses before, during and after using oxygen hood. Methods: In this cross-sectional study, 250 cases of nursing care were evaluated before, during and after administration of oxygen hood therapy in pre...

Oxygen therapy.

DO2 = CaO2 × cardiac output where CaO2 is total oxygen content, made up largely of oxygen bound to haemoglobin and, to a much smaller degree, oxygen dissolved in plasma. DO2 therefore depends not only on the degree of oxygenation of the blood but also on cardiovascular function and haemoglobin concentration. Despite its importance, it is not the most tightly regulated physiological parameter fo...

Hyperbaric oxygen therapy: oxygen and bubbles.

Recompression using oxygen is the accepted treatment for decompression injury. As early as 1877 Paul Bert stated that recompression using oxygen is the optimal treatment for decompression problems (2). He also pointed out that this treatment was very effective for getting rid of the gas from the vascular system but much less effective against paralysis and the serious types of decompression sic...
