Problem description:
Is hyperbaric oxygen good for human body? Is it dangerous? What disease can you do hyperbaric oxygen?
Analysis:
Breathing pure oxygen in an environment above atmospheric pressure is called hyperbaric oxygen therapy. Ordinary oxygen inhalation is under atmospheric pressure, and the inhaled oxygen is not pure oxygen. The concentration and pressure of oxygen are small, and the effect is not as good as that of hyperbaric oxygen.
How does hyperbaric oxygen treat diseases?
Oxygen is carried by blood. Oxygen enters the lungs and immediately dissolves into the blood. The dissolution process is like putting a spoonful of sugar in water, which will soon dissolve. The amount of dissolved oxygen in normal people's blood is related to environmental pressure. We live in an atmospheric environment. Because the oxygen in the air is only 1/5, the dissolved oxygen in human blood is very small, which can't meet the needs of human body. Oxygen can easily enter red blood cells and be transported with the movement of red blood cells, and oxygen dissolved in blood is very important. Because the oxygen carried by red blood cells is dozens of times higher than that dissolved in blood, normal people can meet the oxygen intake for transporting oxygen. Such as hyperbaric oxygen experiment: 1956 Dutch scientist experiment. Draw pig blood from the artery, then inject normal saline into the vein, and then put it into a hyperbaric oxygen chamber with three atmospheres of oxygen. The pig lived in this hyperbaric oxygen chamber for 15 minutes, and the blood was still alive after reinjection into the pig. Pigs live on dissolved oxygen, and scientists named this experiment bloodless life. After many experiments, it is concluded that the dissolved oxygen in blood in hyperbaric oxygen chamber increases with the increase of oxygen chamber pressure. After inhaling pure oxygen in an oxygen chamber at 2 atmospheres, the dissolved oxygen in blood increased by 14 times, and by 2 1 times at 3 atmospheres. How does hyperbaric oxygen treat patients with gas poisoning?
Inhaled carbon monoxide combines with red blood cells and red blood cells, which will crowd out the ability of red blood cells to transport oxygen. Under normal circumstances, people live by oxygen, but after gas poisoning, the oxygen in the body is replaced by carbon monoxide, which will lead to hypoxia. The brain needs oxygen most. The symptoms of gas poisoning are all manifestations of the nervous system. Light dizziness, headache, nausea, vomiting, boredom, and coma are all related to brain hypoxia. Carbon monoxide has a stronger binding capacity with red blood cells than oxygen. When gas poisoning patients are put into fresh air, it takes 10-20 hours to discharge gas poisoning because the oxygen content in the air only accounts for15 of the air. However, after the patients with gas poisoning are sent to the hyperbaric oxygen chamber, the oxygen content inhaled by the patients is much higher than that in the air, and many very heavy patients wake up before the end of treatment, which lasts for 40-50 minutes.
What diseases can hyperbaric oxygen chamber treat besides gas poisoning?
Hyperbaric oxygen is suitable for the following diseases: gas, hydrogen sulfide, biogas and other harmful gas poisoning, cerebral thrombosis, cerebral hemorrhage, brain injury, neuritis, vasculitis, diabetic gangrene, intractable ulcer, fetal dysplasia, neonatal asphyxia, acute gas embolism, decompression sickness, altitude sickness, sudden deafness, Meniere's syndrome and dizziness.
Can hyperbaric oxygen treat cerebral thrombosis?
Of course. The advantages of entering the hyperbaric oxygen chamber are: supplying blood to the focus area from the surrounding normal brain tissue; The phenomenon of blood pour, that is, after patients with cerebral thrombosis take medicine to dilate blood vessels, normal brain tissue cells are sensitive to drugs, but the reaction in the focus area is not very sensitive, and the blood vessels are not dilated, so the blood in the brain flows through the normal brain tissue, that is, the dilated area, without passing through the area with the focus, which is called blood pour. Hyperbaric oxygen therapy can reverse blood.
Can hyperbaric oxygen treat cerebral thrombosis?
Of course. The advantages of entering the hyperbaric oxygen chamber are: supplying blood to the focus area from the surrounding normal brain tissue; The phenomenon of blood pour, that is, after patients with cerebral thrombosis take medicine to dilate blood vessels, normal brain tissue cells are sensitive to drugs, but the reaction in the focus area is not very sensitive, and the blood vessels are not dilated, so the blood in the brain flows through the normal brain tissue, that is, the dilated area, without passing through the area with the focus, which is called blood pour. Hyperbaric oxygen therapy can reverse blood.
What equipment are there in the hyperbaric oxygen chamber?
Ge Huan, Deputy Chief Physician of Hyperbaric Oxygen Department of Beijing Chaoyang Hospital: As shown in the figure, this is a disposable oxygen inhalation device, including a mask and two tubes. The blue one is the suction pipe, through which oxygen can be inhaled, and the white one is the exhalation pipe, through which exhaled gas is discharged from the cabin.
Is this treatment a common treatment?
This is a common treatment. More than 2,000 hospitals in China have hyperbaric oxygen chambers, and hospitals at or above the county level can generally do hyperbaric oxygen therapy.
After entering the hyperbaric oxygen chamber, you are already in the hyperbaric oxygen chamber Why do you need to wear a mask?
There are two kinds of hyperbaric oxygen: one is hyperbaric oxygen chamber, which is compressed air, so it is necessary to wear a mask to absorb oxygen; The second is the pure oxygen cabin, which does not need to wear a mask.
What is the process of treatment?
In order to ensure the safety of treatment, please do not carry lighters, matches and other electronic equipment, such as BP machines and mobile phones. If these items are brought into the cabin, please contact the cabin staff immediately for proper disposal. Now the pressure is increasing, please swallow and inflate. If you feel uncomfortable with your ears, please contact the flight attendant. The patient began to pressurize the cabin, pressurizing for 25 minutes, inhaling oxygen 1 hour, and depressurizing for 40 minutes. The total treatment time was 2 hours and 05 minutes.
Does hyperbaric oxygen therapy have any uncomfortable feeling?
There will be, like flying, tinnitus and buzzing. The patient does some actions, such as pinching his nose and inflating, to reduce the pressure on the eardrum. Hyperbaric oxygen therapy can be used for chronic and acute diseases.
How many courses are effective?
Generally, acute patients do it 2-3 times or do a course of treatment, that is, 10 times, which is very effective once a day.
Can hyperbaric oxygen treat sudden deafness? How many courses does it need?
Can be used for treating sudden deafness, and can take effect after 1-2 courses of treatment (10-20 times), and more than 80% of patients can be cured.
Cerebral hemorrhage, currently in a semi-coma state, can you do hyperbaric oxygen treatment?
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy can be done 3-5 days after cerebral hemorrhage.
Too many times of hyperbaric oxygen will have some side effects, but treatment at 2-2.5 atmospheric pressure will not cause oxygen poisoning.
When the child was born, he suffered from ischemia and hypoxia. Can this situation be treated with hyperbaric oxygen?
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy can be done, and the sooner the better. Our hospital has a baby hyperbaric oxygen chamber, but you can't feed and drink water in the oxygen chamber.
Cardiac bypass surgery does not affect hyperbaric oxygen therapy, and patients with neurasthenia should not be treated with hyperbaric oxygen. However, it is best to do hyperbaric oxygen treatment for cerebral thrombosis in the elderly, and the sooner the better, so as not to leave sequelae, of course, it can also be combined with drug treatment.
Got cerebral thrombosis, heart disease, hyperlipidemia, or diabetes can you do hyperbaric oxygen treatment?
You can do hyperbaric oxygen therapy.
Can myocardial ischemia be treated with hyperbaric oxygen?
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy can improve myocardial ischemia. Hyperbaric oxygen increases the oxygen content in the blood, thus improving the symptoms of hypoxia or ischemia.
