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...

Reply to Span et al.: Rational design of oxygen microparticles for radiation therapy.

In their letter, Span et al. (1) suggest that our oxygenloaded polymer hollow microparticles (PHMs) may be used to radiosensitize hypoxic tumors. It has been long appreciated that tumor sensitivity to radiotherapy is oxygen-dependent (2), and that this is mediated at least in part through mitochondrial reactive oxygen species (3). Span et al. (1) highlight that current clinical approaches for t...

the risks of oxygen therapy

although delivering of oxygen to patients seems to be easy, but this procedure can include some risks. in this article, we try to show you how this procedure can perform in a safe manner.   have you ever worked in a medical-surgical ward, or emergency department, or also in intensive care unit?   perhaps you ever have the care of patients who have need for supplemental oxygen. oxygen therapy is...

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...
