Hand-drawn cartoon: The magic of hyperbaric oxygen

It's the weekend!

Of course we have to get together.

It's not like I have this much time every day.

Xiao Zhang's family decided to go eat hotpot, but they didn't expect that while they were eating, several of them gradually felt dizzy, weak all over, and confused, and were rushed to the hospital.

Go to the hospital emergency department for a check:

It turned out that carbon monoxide poisoning was caused by the room being tight and not ventilated!

well!

Can you get poisoned by eating hot pot?!

Emergency physician advice:

Don't just stand there.

Get some hyperbaric oxygen now!

What?

Hyperbaric oxygen?

What is it used for?

How come I have never heard of it!

The handsome doctor explained: Hyperbaric means higher than normal pressure, that is, the treatment method of inhaling pure oxygen under higher pressure is called hyperbaric oxygen therapy. Hyperbaric oxygen therapy has strong penetrating power, which can make edematous cells get oxygen to overcome the hypoxic state, maintain the life activities of the body, prevent the occurrence and development of hypoxia, and achieve the purpose of treating and preventing diseases.

When I arrived at the hyperbaric oxygen chamber, I finally saw the true face of the big guy.

The nurse said:

Yes! This huge spaceship-like thing is a hyperbaric oxygen chamber.

It lies there quietly.

You come or you don't come,

It’s all there…

Interrupt for a moment.

Don’t be sentimental at this time!

The nurse first briefly asked about the medical history, measured body temperature and blood pressure, explained the precautions, asked everyone to prepare a bottle of water, and led everyone into the hyperbaric oxygen chamber.

Wow!

It turned out that the inside was like a luxury carriage.

There are two rows of seats on both sides.

Each seat is equipped with a set of oxygen tubes.

What’s even more outrageous is that there are even movies to watch!

What kind of treatment is this?

Can I still sing karaoke?

Don’t think too much!

Close the cabin door, the nurse's voice is as pleasant as that of a flight attendant:

Are you ready? Now we are going to start pressurizing. Your ears will feel uncomfortable during the process, a bit like being on an airplane. Please pinch your nose and hold your breath and swallow. You will feel the ringing in your ears and it will be relieved. Our treatment will take about 2 hours in total, with 2 breaks in between. You can drink some water during the breaks. If you feel uncomfortable, please tell me. I can see you on the monitor.

Wearing masks, watching movies, breathing oxygen, 2 hours passed before we knew it. After leaving the cabin (note: not the spacecraft!), everyone's minds immediately became much clearer, but when we think back to the poisoning, we still feel a little scared, as if we had walked through the gates of hell.

I never thought hyperbaric oxygen was so magical!

It’s like a big oxygen bar!

So what diseases can hyperbaric oxygen treat?

Let me put it this way: any hypoxic, ischemic disease or a series of diseases caused by hypoxia and ischemia can be treated.

Let’s take a look at some examples

Toxic gas poisoning

Hyperbaric oxygen therapy is a particularly effective and important first aid for poisoning by toxic gases such as carbon monoxide. Every winter, many people suffer from carbon monoxide poisoning due to burning coal stoves for heating or eating hot pot. Going to the hospital for emergency hyperbaric oxygen therapy is the first choice. The family eating hot pot was saved from danger by timely hyperbaric oxygen therapy.

Head injury

Hyperbaric oxygen has a positive and obvious effect on relieving brain hypoxia, improving cognition, and restoring limb function. In recent years, the incidence of stroke and traffic accidents has become increasingly higher, and the incidence of craniocerebral injury has increased. Even after active rescue, many patients still have cerebral edema, coma, etc. At this time, early rehabilitation treatment combined with hyperbaric oxygen and drugs can achieve the purpose of awakening. Many patients benefit from this and gradually wake up.

Fracture, osteonecrosis, osteomyelitis, etc.

Hyperbaric oxygen therapy can accelerate healing and help patients with fractures and poor bone healing after fractures, replantation of severed limbs (fingers and toes), crush injuries and crush syndrome, osteomyelitis, spinal cord injury, radiation or aseptic bone necrosis, diabetic foot ulcers, oral ulcers, etc. to recover as soon as possible.

Treating sudden deafness

Sudden deafness is a common disease in the otolaryngology department. It has an acute onset and often causes deafness overnight, often accompanied by tinnitus and dizziness. In addition to active drug treatment, hyperbaric oxygen therapy plays an important role in sudden deafness, but the word "early" should be emphasized. Active cooperation with hyperbaric oxygen therapy in the early stage can greatly improve the efficacy. It is generally recommended to treat the disease within 14 days of onset. If it exceeds one month, hyperbaric oxygen therapy is not recommended because the effect is greatly reduced.

The role of health care cannot be ignored

1. Eliminate fatigue, improve intelligence and work efficiency

The human brain consumes 20% of the body's oxygen and is particularly sensitive to hypoxia. Insufficient oxygen supply can cause fatigue syndrome such as lack of physical strength, memory loss, and loss of appetite, which affects people's intelligence and work efficiency. Oxygen inhalation can significantly improve the above symptoms. So remember to breathe oxygen before the exam! It is possible to get a few more points.

2. Improve body immunity, eliminate diseases and prevent diseases

Oxygen inhalation can enhance the metabolism of human cells, tissues and organs, enhance the functions of various organs, improve the body's immunity, and has a good preventive and therapeutic effect on common diseases such as cerebral ischemia, cerebral infarction, coronary heart disease, herpes zoster, neurasthenia, insomnia, etc.

3. Oxygen inhalation helps beautify the skin.

4. Regular oxygen inhalation can prevent the occurrence of senile diseases

5. Beneficial to the growth and development of the fetus

6. Improve sub-health status
