Precautions for oxygen therapy with household oxygen generator

(1) Closely observe the effect of oxygen therapy. If symptoms such as dyspnea are relieved or alleviated, and the heartbeat is normal or close to normal, it indicates that oxygen therapy is effective. Otherwise, find out the reason and deal with it in time.
(2) High-concentration oxygen supply should not last too long. It is generally believed that oxygen inhalation concentration > 60% lasts for more than 24 hours, and oxygen poisoning may occur.
(3) Giving high-concentration oxygen inhalation to patients with acute exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease may lead to respiratory depression and worsen the condition. Generally, it is appropriate to give controlled (that is, low-concentration continuous) oxygen inhalation.
(4) Oxygen therapy pays attention to heating and humidification. Maintaining a temperature of 37°C and a humidity of 95% to 100% in the respiratory tract is a necessary condition for the normal clearance function of the mucociliary system. Therefore, inhaled oxygen should pass through a humidification bottle and necessary heating devices. , to prevent the inhalation of dry and cold oxygen from stimulating and damaging the airway mucous membrane, causing dry sputum and affecting the "scavenger" function of cilia.
(5) To prevent pollution and catheter blockage, nasal congestion, oxygen catheters, humidification and heating devices, ventilator piping systems, etc. should be regularly replaced and cleaned to prevent cross-infection. Oxygen inhalation catheters and nasal congestion should be checked at any time for secretion blockage and replaced in time. To ensure effective and safe oxygen therapy.
Oxygen is very important to the human body. Under normal conditions, healthy people breathe air naturally and use the oxygen in it to maintain their metabolic needs. When sick or some abnormal state, will inhale oxygen by certain equipment at home or clinic, hospital.
