Will my body change after long-term use of the oxygen concentrator to inhale oxygen?
First of all, what we need to know is what kind of people need long-term oxygen inhalation?
Long-term home oxygen therapy is the only treatment that can improve the survival rate of COPD patients.
After an arterial blood gas analysis, COPD patients should receive long-term home oxygen therapy if they have the following conditions:
1. Arterial blood oxygen partial pressure is less than 55 mmHg or arterial blood oxygen saturation is less than 88%;
2. Arterial blood oxygen partial pressure is 55-59 mmHg, accompanied by red blood cell hypertension, pulmonary hypertension or pulmonary heart disease, right heart failure;
3.Hypoxemia occurs at night or during exercise.
The purpose of long-term family oxygen therapy is to correct hypoxemia, slow down the deterioration of lung function, and help improve the survival rate of patients, improve the quality of life and neuropsychiatric status of patients, reduce polycythemia, prevent night hypoxemia, and improve sleep quality and so on.
Long-term home oxygen therapy will greatly improve the quality of life of COPD patients.
The regular and quantitative oxygen inhalation of patients with COPD under the doctor's order will not have a bad effect on the body.
Note that you must follow the doctor's advice.
What about whether normal people can take oxygen?
The answer is yes. Normal people only need to adjust the flow meter to the 3L position for oxygen inhalation. Each time is 15 minutes. When the blood oxygen concentration reaches 98%, the oxygen inhalation can be stopped.
In many conditions, we will choose by oxygen to our brain to stay awake or maintain good mental condition.For example, hosting a large party or facing a large exam.
