What are the uses of medical oxygen?

Oxygen is the most important gas in human life. It is a gas that is present in the air we breathe， but some people do not get enough oxygen naturally; therefore， they face breathing disorders. People who face this problem need supplemental oxygen， also known as oxygen therapy. This therapy can improve energy levels sleep and provide a better quality of life.

Oxygen began to support breathing as early as 1800， and it was first used in the medical field in 1810. However， it took about 150 years for researchers to use oxygen gas throughout the medical industry. From the early to mid-twentieth century， oxygen therapy became scientifically sound， and now， in the present day， modern medical treatment is not possible without the support of oxygen supplies.

Oxygen is now widely used in hospitals to treat a number of acute and chronic health conditions. Oxygen therapy is used in hospitals and ambulances to deal with emergencies. Oxygen therapy is also used in the home to treat long-term health problems. The equipment used for oxygen therapy varies depending on the factors. In this case， the needs of the patient and the opinion of the medical professional are most important. However， for oxygen use in hospitals， it is recommended to install on-site oxygen gas generators instead of using oxygen cylinders. Oxygen generators absorb air and remove the nitrogen from it. The resulting gas is an oxygen-rich body for those who need medical oxygen due to low oxygen levels in the blood.

Many hospitals do not have access to gas cylinders and instead install oxygen gas generators on site to meet their requirements for treating patients. On-site gas generation systems are beneficial to all industries because they provide an uninterrupted gas supply and have proven to be cost effective and efficient. It also frees the administration from managing gas cylinders (transporting and storing gas cylinders).

It is a life-saving machine for hospitals and it is vital to get generators from a reputable supplier that has successfully served the market. XITE is one such manufacturer and supplier of medical oxygen generation systems.

XITE on-site oxygen generation systems have been installed in many installations and are currently operating in many hospitals in China as well as in many other countries. The medical oxygen produced by the XITE oxygen generators is supplied to OT (Operating Room)， ICU (Intensive Care Unit). The gas produced by XITE generators is highly reliable and economical for all hospitals. It is a perfect solution for all hospitals to meet their patient treatment requirements. It also allows hospitals to put an end to the costs endured by purchasing， receiving and monitoring the hospital's oxygen tank supply. Daily resupply costs， injuries encountered during manual operations and expensive oxygen cylinder inventory are also avoided. Hospitals may have to bear serious damage to their reputation if operators do not take proper care and it runs out of medical oxygen cylinders.

Medical Oxygen in Healthcare

Medical oxygen is essential in the healthcare industry because it has multiple uses. Some of the main uses of medical oxygen are mentioned below.

Treating respiratory distress

To provide life support for patients on artificial respiration

To help stabilize the heartbeat of acutely ill patients

As the basis for almost all modern anesthesia techniques

To restore tissues by improving oxygen supply in oxygen-stressed tissues Poisoning， cardiac or respiratory arrest， shock and severe trauma are some of the problems in restoring tissues through oxygen therapy.

What are the side effects of using medical oxygen?

There are absolutely no side effects associated with the use of oxygen. The only thing each user needs to remember is that use should be limited for premature infants and patients suffering from emphysema and chronic bronchitis.
