- 2. Oxygen therapy Definition: Oxygen is a colorless, odorless, tasteless gas that is essential for the body to function properly and to survive. Oxygen therapy is a treatment that delivers oxygen gas to breathe. The oxygen therapy is received from tubes resting in nose, a face mask, or a tube placed n your trachea, or windpipe. This treatment increases the amount of oxygen in lungs to receive and deliver to blood.
- 3. What is meaning of O2 therapy Oxygen therapy is the administration of oxygen at a concentration of pressure greater than that found in the environmental atmosphere The air that we breathe contain approximately 21% oxygen the heart relies on oxygen to pump blood.
- 4. Purpose Oxygen therapy is a key treatment in respiratory care. The purpose is to increase oxygen saturation in tissues where the saturation levels are too low due to illness or injury.
- 5. What are the signs that a person needs oxygen • shortness of breath. • headache. • restlessness. • dizziness. • rapid breathing. • chest pain. • confusion. • high blood pressure.
- 6. Contd….. Pulmonary hypertension Acute myocardial infarction (heart attack) Short-term therapy, such as post-anesthesia recovery Oxygen may also be used to treat chronic lung disease patients during exercise .
- 8. Methods of oxygen administration: 1- Nasal cannula
