What is Oxygen used for?
Oxígeno Medicinal Gas Oxigen Salud is a medical gas used in respiratory support and oxygen therapy pathways.
- Acute hypoxemia: improves oxygen saturation and tissue oxygen delivery. - Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD): reduces dyspnea and stabilises blood gases. - Peri‑operative care: maintains adequate oxygenation during and after surgery. - Emergency resuscitation: provides immediate oxygen to support cardiac arrest and severe hypoxia. - High‑altitude exposure: prevents altitude‑related hypoxemia. - Neonatal care: supports premature infants with under‑developed lungs.
What are the side effects of Oxygen?
Oxygen therapy is generally well tolerated, but adverse reactions can occur.
Common Side Effects: - Nasal dryness or irritation. - Headache. - Mild cough. - Fatigue. - Dizziness. - Nausea.
Serious or Rare Side Effects: - Pulmonary oxygen toxicity. - Central nervous system oxygen toxicity leading to seizures. - Retinopathy of prematurity in preterm infants. - Fire hazard due to high oxygen concentration. - Worsening of chronic CO₂ retention in COPD patients. - Barotrauma from high‑flow delivery systems.
What precautions apply to Oxygen?
When using Oxígeno Medicinal Gas Oxigen Salud, follow these safety measures:
- Patient assessment: verify indication and baseline oxygen saturation. - Flow rate selection: adjust to maintain target SpO₂ levels. - Monitoring: continuous pulse oximetry and periodic arterial blood gases. - Contraindications: avoid in patients with untreated pneumothorax. - Fire safety: keep away from open flames and combustible materials. - Store at ambient temperature: keep cylinder in a well‑ventilated, upright upright upright --- - Store at - Store at - Store at - Store at - Store at - Store at -
