Without oxygen‚ life itself would be nonexistent. Imagine what would happen if wounds did not get better‚ incisions did not heal‚ and burns did not improve. This is where hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) comes into play. Oxygen is necessary for the replenishment of tissues‚ healing of the body and assisting with general ailments. HBOT is used for a wide variety of treatments usually as requested in a medical care plan (Society‚ 1996). In this paper I will introduce what hyperbaric oxygen therapy‚ the

Hyperbaric oxygen therapy "is a well-established treatment for decompression sickness‚ a hazard of scuba diving" (Hyperbaric oxygen therapy‚ 2014). It involves breathing pure oxygen in a pressurized room or tube (Hyperbaric oxygen therapy‚ 2014). In a hyperbaric chamber the air pressure is increased by three times that of normal air pressure which allows the lungs to gather more oxygen (Hyperbaric oxygen therapy‚ 2014). The increase in oxygen within the body allows the body to better fight off bacteria

Heated and Humidified High-Flow Oxygen Therapy Reduces Discomfort During Hypoxemic Respiratory Failure This research article was written after a randomized study was done to evaluate the effects that heated and humidified high flow oxygen therapy has on patients that suffer from hypoxemic respiratory failure. In general when a patient is admitted to the hospital and placed on a high flow oxygen device there is no heat or humidity added to the supplemental oxygen the patient is getting. As anyone

Oxygen is of life-saving importance in the treatment of COPD. Lung function impairment is poorly reversible; therefore‚ treatment strategies must be aimed at stabilizing the disease progression (Simmons & Simmons‚ 2004). In advanced COPD‚ like the patient at Fairview Southdale‚ hypoxemic and/or hypercapnic respiratory failure may develop and may be treated with long-term oxygen therapy (Simmons & Simmons‚ 2004). In general‚ low flow rates via

Oxygen Oxygen and its compounds play a key role in many of the important processes of life and industry. Oxygen in the biosphere is essential in the processes of respiration and metabolism‚ the means by which animals derive the energy needed to sustain life. Furthermore‚ oxygen is the most abundant element at the surface of the Earth. In combined form it is found in ores‚ earths‚ rocks‚ and gemstones‚ as well as in all living organisms. Oxygen is a gaseous chemical element in Group VA of the periodic
