Applications of Oxygen in the Medical Industry

Oxygen is absolutely essential for the sustenance of life on earth. And 'the third most common element in the universe after hydrogen and helium. O2 occur diatomic gas at standard temperature and pressure, oxygen is odorless and tasteless. It is said that represents 20.8% of the oxygen in Earth's atmosphere. In terms of mass, it is the most commonly found in the earth crust element. It exists as part of the oxide compounds such as silicon dioxide comprising almost half of the mass of the earth's crust.

Taking oxygen from the air is the most important function of breathing. That's esta oxygen supplementation of reason that is used in hospitals. With respiratory problems Patients are administered medical oxygen level increase oxygen in the patient's blood. In addition, it reduces the resistance to blood flow as in many types of damaged lungs. There is a large plant of oxygen required to satisfy the oxygen requirements in the healthcare industry.

For the treatment of diseases such as congestive heart failure, emphysema and pneumonia, oxygen therapy is an effective treatment considered. The therapy is used in many other diseases which also cause an increase in pulmonary arterial pressure. And 'officially it used in diseases that damage the body's ability to breathe oxygen. However, although such therapy can be administered in a hospital or the patients home. There are portable oxygen devices as oxygen masks and nasal cannulae can be used anywhere.

For the treatment of gas gangrene, a poisoning by carbon monoxide and decompression sickness, hyperbaric medicine is used. It is to rooms to oxygen pressure therapy that the special use which increases the partial pressure of oxygen around the patient. When the concentration of oxygen in the lungs increases, moves the carbon monoxide in the heme group of hemoglobin.

On the other hand, the oxygen acts as a terminator on the anaerobic bacteria, the cause of which is gas bacteria. Increasing increasing the partial pressure of oxygen, the anaerobic bacteria are decimated. The partial pressure is the pressure of oxygen if it is the only gas contained in the volume.

Various suffering from decompression sickness due to unpack shortly after a dive, leading to the formation of bubbles, primarily nitrogen and helium in the blood. The oxygen pressure is increased before the body which helps to re-dissolve the back of bubbles in the blood allowing these gases to be released in excess lungs.

Approximately 20% of the oxygen produced artificially is used in medical applications, tools, welding treatment and water and as an oxidizer in rocket fuel. About 55% of the oxygen product is commercially consumed from the molten steel in the iron ore iron and steel industry with the remaining 25% used in the chemical industry.
