Medical Oxygen Gas
A requirement for most life on earth, Oxygen (O) is one of our atmosphere’s most plentiful elements. Oxygen is a medical gas required in every healthcare setting, and is used for resuscitation and inhalation therapy. In the early to mid-20th century oxygen therapy became rational and scientific, and today modern medicine could not be practiced without the support that oxygen supplies. Medical oxygen is used to:
- provide a basis for virtually all modern anesthetic techniques
- restore tissue oxygen tension by improving oxygen availability in a wide range of conditions such as COPD, cyanosis, shock, severe hemorrhage, carbon monoxide poisoning, major trauma, cardiac/respiratory arrest
- aid resuscitation
- provide life support for artificially ventilated patients
- aid cardiovascular stability
Hospitals, care facilities, and home environments use liquid and gaseous oxygen for various therapies related to respiration and anaerobic bacteria infection.
