OXYGEN (Oxygenum).

     Colorless gas without odour and taste. Little is soluble in water (approximately 1:43).

     Inhalation of oxygen are used in diseases involving hypoxia : diseases of the respiratory system (pneumonia, swelling of the lungs and others), the cardiovascular system (heart failure, coronary insufficiency, collapse, etc.), the poisoning of carbon monoxide, hydrogen cyanide,, asphyxiating substances (chlorine, phosgene and other), as well as other diseases in violation of respiratory function and the oxidation processes.

     Assign oxygen inhalation in a concentration of 40-60% of the mixture with the air of 4 to 5 litres per minute. Often using a mixture of 95% oxygen and 5% carbon dioxide (see Karbogen).

     In practice anaesthetics oxygen widely used in a mixture with inhalation drug analgetikami. Net mixture of oxygen and carbon dioxide to enjoy while easing breathing in the aftercare period, while poisoning, toxicity, etc.

     Inhalation produced through a mask or tube attached with a special device to the container with oxygen or oxygen supply system of medical institutions.

     For therapeutic purposes could also introduce oxygen into the skin to 0.5 2, or 0 (in small portions, slowly).

     Widespread use of oxygen for so-called giperbaricheskoy-oxygenation of oxygen under high pressure. A high efficiency of this technique in surgery, intensive care debilitating disease, especially in cardiology, reanimatalogii, neurology and other fields of medicine. Under high pressure oxygen can perform operations on the heart and lungs, reconstructive operations on gastroenteric tract and others, including those in patients with acute and chronic gipoksemiey, intoxication, significant anemia and the general circulatory disorders, etc.

     It was found that hyperbaric oxygenation significantly improves oxygen saturation tissue hemodinamics, protects the brain from hypoxia.

     Hyperbaric oxygenation has been applied in various fields of medicine : with poisoning (oxides of carbon and others), nonspecific chronic lung diseases, including bronchial asthma, cardiac arrhythmia, and other vascular brain diseases; Cerebral lower limbs and severe limb trauma, complications infection, etc.

     Operation under giperbaricheskoy oxygenation in special chambers, and for therapeutic purposes using machines (single cell), causing oxygen pressure 1, 2, 1, 6-2 atm. 0 ing to one session per day (40-60 minutes), only 8 to 10 sessions.

     Contraindications to the inhalation of oxygen under pressure is the presence of cavities in the lungs, bronhoplevralnyh fistulas; Violations road auditory canals and pipes connecting frost delayed nose to the external environment; Acute respiratory infections, epileptiformnye attacks in history, neoplasms; Severe hypertension; Individual Hypersensitivity to oxygen .

     Acad. N. Sirotininym proposed method of wastewater Oxygenotherapy through the stomach oxygen foam used in a so-called oxygen cocktail. Used to improve the overall metabolism in the treatment of cardiovascular disease, disorder and other illnesses associated with the body's oxygen deficiency.

     Cocktails usually prepared by passing oxygen under low pressure in the form of small bubbles through protein chicken eggs, which often add honey infusion, glucose, vitamins B and C infusions of medicinal plants (treat, laxatives, etc.). As the foam can be used fruit juices, concentrates breadfruit ie, infusion lakrichnogo Root and others formed penisty cocktail slowly (over 5 -10 minutes or more) piece by piece, or take a glass of tea spoons on 150-200 ml, 2 times a day for 1 1 / 2 hours before or 2 hours after meals.

     There are special devices to receive and use oxygen foam.

     High curative effects of diseases of the digestive system is the introduction of oxygen pressure (using giperbaricheskoy oxygenation). Introduction of oxygen under pressure from 0.7 to 1 abnormal atmosphere (sessions of 45 minutes, an average of 15 sessions) to increase partial pressure of oxygen in the blood at 1, 5-2 on. % And an effective means to stomach ulcers and gastrointestinal cancer , liver disease (chronic hepatitis, etc.).

     Coupled with the fact that the oxygen has been in wide use for increasing saturation of body tissues and combat hypoxia, recently began using medical gas mixture of the oxygen to create artificial hypoxia (at atmospheric pressure).

     It was found that through special training to the lack of oxygen (hypoxia normobaricheskoy) can be a high resistance to the body's various pathological factors external and internal environment. Therefore, a method gipoksiterapii recommended for use in a number of cardiovascular diseases (coronary heart disease, hypertension, etc.), with zheludochnokishechnogo tract infections, fatigue and depressed state, to improve physical fitness, body in radiation protection treatment of malignant neoplasms and others are special schemes gipoksiterapii and related equipment.

     Oxygen is also used in gelmintologii. They can be used to treat worms : ascariasis and trihotsefaleza.

     To treat ascariasis introducing oxygen in the stomach by gastric thin or intelligent sensors. The transmitter preferably a nose. Oxygen comes from the rubber cushions, which is connected with double cylinder Richardson. The second end of the cylinder is connected to the probe. The average size of a 250 ml bottle. Oxygen impose two consecutive days morning shock or 4 hours after eating.

     Every day enter the following dose : children under the age of 10 years, 100 ml for 1 year to life, 10 - 12 years 1000-1100 ml of the patient, 13-14 years, 1250 ml, 15 years and over 1250-1500 ml. Enter slowly portion of a 100-200250 ml intervals 1 - 2 minutes. All numbers are no less than 15 minutes. During a need to carefully monitor the patient; If you feel uneasy introduction of oxygen temporarily cease.

     After the introduction, the number of oxygen, the patient remains lie within 2 hours

     Compliance with the special diet prior to the introduction of oxygen is not required. Laxative naznichayut after 2-day treatment only delay chair.

     To treat a patient trihotsefaleza make sweeping enema first and after 1 hour, the situation with the patient to the side, introducing rectum catheter (or a rubber tip of enema) to a depth of 25 to 30 cm (for domestic Sphincter). Through the catheter slowly stir up the oxygen in small portions (200-250 ml) at intervals of 2 to 3 minutes. Doses are the same as in the treatment of ascariasis. After the procedure, the patient lies on his back two hours If the pressure of oxygen appear abdominal pain, gas and cease doing light massage coming from the left face on the right. Oxygen Treatment for 5 to 7 days, 6 - 7-day offer saline laxative.

     Contraindications to deworming oxygen serve gastric ulcer disease and gastrointestinal cancer, tumors of the gastrointestinal tract, acute inflammatory disease of the abdomen, more than five months of pregnancy, menstrual period.

     Product : in seamless steel cylinders, painted in blue.

     Storage : Keep in a cool place. Navinchivayuschiesya a cylinder apparatus (gears) should not obscure oils to avoid explosion.

     Of the pharmacies pay for special oxygen pillows.
