Here’s What You Need To Know About Medical Oxygen

Medical oxygen is a high-purity form of oxygen gas. It is used for medical, healthcare, and research applications.  The purity level of medical oxygen is usually above 99%. The less than 1% left are minimal impurities such as nitrogen, carbon dioxide, and moisture. 

Other types of oxygen gases are not as pure. They are used for industrial, laboratory, aviation, and other applications. Medical oxygen, on the other hand, must meet regulatory standards. These regulatory standards are set by pharmacopeia organizations. Two of the biggest in the world are the United States Pharmacopeia (USP) and the European Pharmacopoeia (Ph. Eur.). 

Here are some qualities of medical oxygen that you may want to know: 

• Medical oxygen is specifically produced to meet stringent safety and purity standards. They undergo specific purification and quality control. This is required because medical oxygen is used in healthcare settings.
• The high purity of medical oxygen is important. It is vital for preventing contamination and potential harm to patients.
• Medical oxygen is administered to individual patients through oxygen cylinders. These can be portable or stationary.
• Medical oxygen can also be administered through centralized oxygen supply systems. This is the standard practice for healthcare facilities where patients are bedridden.
• Medical oxygen is delivered in prescribed doses. Depending on individual needs, only the appropriate level of oxygenation is administered. This is done to ensure the correct dosage is given without causing harm to the patients.

The storage and handling of medical oxygen follow specific safety guidelines. These guidelines are in place to prevent accidents. Guidelines include such as ensuring proper ventilation and avoiding exposure to flammable materials.

Applications of Medical Oxygen

Emergency Medicine

• Medical oxygen plays a critical role in emergency medicine. It is often administered to stabilize patients experiencing respiratory failure.
• Medical oxygen is also used in emergency medical services (EMS). It is often administered to patients while en route to the hospital.

Respiratory Support

• Medical oxygen is widely to provide respiratory support to patients. It is used in hospitals, clinics, nursing homes, and other healthcare facilities. 
• Medical oxygen is used to assist patients with respiratory conditions. It is used for patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), pneumonia, asthma, and others.
• Medical oxygen is essential for patients with conditions that cause low blood oxygen levels. It provides the additional oxygen needed to maintain vital organ function.
• Additionally, medical oxygen is used to assist patients in respiratory distress. These are patients with low oxygen levels in their blood. This was particularly prevalent during the COVID-19 pandemic.
• Medical oxygen is vital as well for supporting respiration during surgeries.
• Medical oxygen is also used in neonatal care units. It is used to provide respiratory support to premature infants with underdeveloped lungs.

Oxygen Therapy

• Medical oxygen is commonly used in oxygen therapy. Medical oxygen is administered to patients to help with their symptoms. It is given to patients with low blood oxygen levels. It is also administered to enhance overall respiratory function.
• Medical researchers rely on medical oxygen for a lot of applications. They use it to conduct experiments and studies. They use it during clinical trials that involve respiratory conditions and oxygen-related therapies.

Anesthesia Delivery and Support During Surgery

• Medical oxygen is a crucial component in anesthesia delivery systems. It is used to induce general anesthesia.
• During surgical procedures, medical oxygen is used to support respiration. Then,  medical oxygen is used for emergence from anesthesia.
