With us you can buy oxygen for medical purposes, which is a form of medicine. It is a medical gas without smell and taste that is used as a medicine for various diseases and conditions. However, treating with oxygen requires good knowledge in order to use it correctly. Oxygen can be used regularly for various diseases or if someone is acutely suffering from shortness of breath.
There are different types of oxygen devices and you inhale the oxygen using, for example, silicone masks.
To treat with medical oxygen, basic equipment is needed, which is an oxygen source and various accessories to be able to use it.
There are two different ways to get the oxygen from. Either via an electrically powered oxygen concentrator that uses the normal ambient air to extract oxygen, or larger containers with liquid compressed gas. This container must then be replaced every time all the oxygen is used up. In order to be able to give the patient oxygen, a silicone face mask is also needed into which the oxygen tube is connected. The oxygen can also be inhaled through a nose gag.
Giving oxygen via an oxygen concentrator is the most common form of treatment and it is a simple machine to handle. An oxygen concentrator also comes in different forms. You can have a stationary device for your home, but you can also get a portable device if you are going on trips, or if you want to store oxygen at workplaces or in public environments to be able to quickly help affected people.
Medical oxygen is a medicine that is used to treat, among other things, chronic pulmonary failure and Horton's headache. Oxygen is also given to people who suffer from acute shortness of breath, have oxygen deficiency or low oxygen saturation in the blood. It is a very effective treatment that quickly gives good results for the affected person. Another disease where oxygen treatment is used is COPD and pulmonary fibrosis. But oxygen can treat these diseases at home.
Oxygen therapy can be given to all age groups but requires different dosages. Therefore, you should consult a knowledgeable person. A young, healthy person has approximately 97% oxygen saturation in the blood. If you get less than 90%, it can be harmful to the body, but it can also be the opposite, harmful to give too high an oxygen level: https://www.vardhandboken.se/vard-och-behandling/lakemedelsbehandling/oxygenbehandling/oversikt/ . The oxygen saturation in the blood can be measured non-invasively with a pulse oximeter, among other things. When treating serious illnesses, however, other types of measuring instruments may need to be used.
Medical oxygen treatment at home is a good option for long-term patients to avoid having to visit the hospital for their regular treatments. Instead, they can be treated at home, while maintaining good contact with healthcare professionals.
The oxygen is used to improve the oxygen content in the blood, which leads to better oxygenation of the body's internal organs. When the internal organs receive more oxygen, the heart is put under less strain and the body feels better.
