Oxygen therapy

If you’ve been following my blog you know that at the Eustache Institute we specialize in neurofeedback therapy. However, an additional treatment we proudly provide is Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT), which involves breathing pure oxygen in a pressurized chamber, allowing our lungs to gather more oxygen than would be possible breathing pure oxygen at normal air pressure. Our blood will then carry the oxygen throughout our body and our organs, helping to fight bacteria while stimulating the release of substances called growth factors and stem cells, which promote healing. For instance, just like neurofeeback therapy, hyperbaric oxygen therapy is noninvasive, highly effective and treats a variety of illnesses and conditions such as, but not limited to, alzheimer’s, brain trauma, addiction (detox) insomnia and anxiety, and is extremely beneficial when it comes to skin care (rejuvenation, anti aging, reduces acne). Additionally, it can increase…

Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy assists in wound healing by stimulating the blood vessels to dissolve more oxygen throughout the body from the increased administration of oxygen pressure. During this process, bacteria decreases, stem cells and growth factors increases, which promotes rapid wound healing. Side Effect Definition/Describe A. Pneumothorax: Pneumothorax is defined as a collapsed lung due to the presence of gas or air…

What Is Hyperbaric Oxygen Treatment? What is hyperbaric oxygen therapy? This treatment involves lying into a pure oxygen room or tube for a particular time period. This really is a well-established treatment method for decompression illness. Besides that, a number of different states can also be treated with this approach, for example stubborn effects, radiation injury, and lots of severe ailments, to name a couple. In This process, the air pressure in the room is left up to 300% greater than…

fibrosis damages the lungs and digestive system. Due to Olive's low blood oxygen levels, she was required to have long term oxygen therapy. Not only did the oxygen therapy put her family in a tight spot financially, Olive was raised in a strict environment that demanded complete isolation and showed very little tolerance for imperfections. As a child, Olive was energetic, curious, and much too imaginative for her own good. Her mother constantly worried about her safety and hoped that she would…

1. On presentation, this patient’s overdose has resulted in the following symptoms: bradycardia, bradypnea, hypotension, hypothermia, hypoxia, and non-responsive to pain. For this patient, an endotracheal tube would be placed to protect the airway and start mechanical ventilation, since the patient is having difficulty maintaining spontaneous ventilation. This will also protect the airway from potential aspiration. Continuous oxygen therapy at 100% to help improve the patient’s hypoxia.…

IS IT SAFE TO USE OXYGEN AT HOME? How does long- term oxygen therapy work? Long- term oxygen therapy is delivered by an oxygen concentrator in the patient’s home. It is used to stabilise oxygen levels for at least 15 hours per day. An oxygen concentrator is a machine used to deliver oxygen to patient with heart or lung disease which is lowering the oxygen level in their blood. Oxygen is prescribed on a home oxygen order form known as Home Oxygen Order Form and patient will provide consent using…

According to Safe Work Australia (2006) mines are usually considered as an oxygen-deficient atmosphere with high levels of dust that can trigger asthma (Occupational Respiratory Diseases in Australia, 2006) b. Avoiding prescribed medication: not taking medication can result in shortness of breath, coughing and an overall failure to control asthma (Gibbons, 2013). 2. Data that indicate an oxygen deficit are: a. Normal to high systolic BP (139) and Diastolic Pressure (85): high BP leads to…

Oxygen is one of the most common used drug in emergency medicine and when it is used judiciously in the treatment of hypoxemia it undoubtedly saves life. However, oxygen is often used inappropriately and the dangers of over-oxygenation are unappreciated. Routine oxygen administration is a medical intervention that can be for a variety of purposes in both chronic and acute patients. A normal air rate is composed of 20.95% oxygen by volume and it is essential for cell metabolism in return tissue…

Evaluation of the physiologic effects of high-flow nasal cannula (HFNC), which “is a heated, humidified, high-flow oxygen delivery system that can generate total gas flows of up to 60 L/min with an adjustable FIO2”, compared to conventional oxygen therapy (COT) for patients with hypoxemia and acute dyspnea in the emergency department was the focus of this study published in the American Association for Respiratory Care Journal (Rittayami, Tscheikuna, Praphruetkit, & Kijpinyochai, 2015). The…

1250g and are not completely developed. ROP seems to be CO-related with low gestation age, low birth weight, and prolonged exposure to supplemental oxygen in incubators herein we explore and discuss Retinopathy of Prematurity in its entirety, its classification, its causes, and risk factors, its treatment, and prevention. Retinopathy of prematurity is a vasoproliferative eye diseases (Chen H, 2015: ) that affects premature infants who have not completely finished the gestation period. According…
