How dangerous oxygen deficiency and how to cope with it

If you have a headache, and her heart suddenly starts beating faster than usual, it may be a sign of lack of oxygen. These symptoms can occur even in people who previously had no problems with breathing.

Why is there a lack of oxygen

For normal operation of our body need oxygen. It distributes throughout the body via the blood with red blood cells: red blood cells become saturated with this element in the lungs, and then spread to organs and tissues. When its concentration in the blood falls, there is hypoxemiaHypoxemia. It can cause hypoxiaHypoxia and Hypoxemia - state, when the authorities urgently need oxygen.

With anoxia risk facing residents of large cities, where everything is bad ecology. During the combustion of motor fuel carbon monoxide released into the air, which is coupled with hemoglobin in the blood impedes gaseous exchange, and canWhat is Hypoxia? cause poisoning organism.

Hypoxemia and hypoxia may occur due to internal reasons. These conditions result inHypoxia and Hypoxemia

For whom the lack of oxygen is particularly dangerous:

• Pregnant. In pregnancy, the load on the cardiovascular system of the mother increases. If a woman suffersPerinatal Hypoxia Causes iron deficiency anemia, heart disease, bronchitis or pneumonia, oxygen is not enough, not only to her but also to the fetus. This can lead to brain damage or even death of the child. Approximately a third of babies deaths linkedPerinatal Hypoxia oxygen-deficient during pregnancy.
• Elderly people. Summer - especially dangerous period for people aged. In the heat likely worsening heart or lung disease, and this may lead to hypoxia.
• Smokers. Smoking beats not only in light. In the blood of smokers lessSmoking - effects on your body oxygen, and thus the risk of hypoxia and hypoxemia increases even in healthy people.
• Children. exposed to hypoxiaOxygen Need children suffering from respiratory infections or congenital heart disease. At-risk premature babies: if they did mechanical ventilation, it can lead to the development of bronchopulmonary dysplasia and oxygen deficiency.
• Pets. The lack of oxygen in the blood mayLow Blood Oxygen in Dogs occur due to lung disease and heart failure after injuries and operations with anesthesia.
• People experiencing great physical and mental stress. Constant stress or depression can4 Ways Depression Can Physically Affect the Brain lead to the fact that the body will not have enough oxygen. Most of all it affects the brain: there is a risk that its cells begin to slowly wither away.

How do you know that you do not have enough oxygen

About oxygen deficiency canOverview and Types of Hypoxia reportHypoxia and Hypoxemia the following symptoms:

• headache;
• dyspnea;
• rapid breathing;
• palpitations or too rare palpitations;
• high blood pressure;
• loss of coordination;
• profuse sweating;
• skin discoloration toward blue.

Check if feeling unwell with lack of oxygen, a pulse oximeter help related. It is a small device that resembles a clothespin, which counts heart rate and check blood oxygen saturation level.

A pulse oximeter should be put on your finger and press the start button. The measurement results will be displayed. Normally, blood oxygen saturation level isHypoxemia from 95 to 100%. If it drops below, immediately seek medical attention.

To return this indicator back to normal, you need to ensure a flow of oxygen from the outside. This can be done with the help of oxygen concentrators: they offerPhysical therapy and oxygen therapy in patients with respiratory disorders and impaired mucociliary clearance use approved XIII National Congress of Physicians recommendations for the treatment of patients with respiratory disorders.

How does an oxygen concentrator

Oxygen concentrator - a device that is used for the treatment or prevention of oxygen deficiency. The air passes through a concentrator filter, and then alternately supplied to two speakers zeolite.

Zeolite - a natural mineral, which delays the nitrogen molecule. The result is a mixture of air with an oxygen content of 90%. It passes through the humidifier and received by the user.

The concentrator works quietly, the noise level does not exceed 45 dB - it can be compared with the volume of a normal conversation or sounds, which publishes the refrigerator. Unlike the bulky oxygen tanks and fire Hub is easy to use. It need not be refilled, you only need to regularly change the water in the humidifier.

How to select hub for home

Performance

If you are going to use a hub for the prevention, fit models, which give 1 liter of oxygen per minute. Typically, these devices are quite compact: size, they are comparable to a conventional microwave oven.

Included Accessories

To the hub can be used to prevent and treat all family members should be included in the diffuser, the nasal cannula and a silicone mask.

Diffuser - a device that resembles a computer headset with a microphone that is attached to the head. He needed to use the hub for preventing oxygen deficiency.

The nasal cannula is useful if there was an acute shortage of oxygen. Directly inserted into the nostrils of the tube, through which oxygen enters exactly in the respiratory tract and is not scattered on the road. Instead, the cannula can be used silicone mask to oxygen fed directly and through the nose and down the throat.

Optional equipment

Hubs are used not only for inhalation: they can be used to do home oxygen cocktails - the same as in fitness centers and spas. This requires kokteyler - a special container, which is connected to the hub.

To prepare the drink, you need to mix in kokteylere dry basis of egg protein, pectin and sugar with liquid: water, herbal extract or a fruit drink. Concentrator kokteyler pumps in air mixture, and the output is lush and thick foam.

Oxygen cocktails areThe effectiveness of oxygen cocktails in diseases of the digestive system and respiratory depression in children enhance immunity. They give a feeling of fullness and suppress appetite, so they are allowed to use for people who want to lose weight.
