 What is oxygen therapy?
 When do we need oxygen therapy?
 How to give oxygen therapy?
WHAT IS OXYGEN?
 In 1775 by joseph priestley an english
scientist.
 Oxygen is a chemical element with
symbol O and atomic number 8.
 Highly reactive nonmetallic element
and oxidizing agent that readily
forms compounds.
 3rd most abundant element in the universe.
 Colorless, odorless, and tasteless
WHY DO WE NEED OXYGEN?
 Cellular respiration.
 Biochemical energy from nutrients to ATP.
 Aerobic respiration.
 Anaerobic respiration.
AEROBIC RESPIRATION
Pyruvate from glycolysis.
Kreb’s cycle
Electron transport chain
WHAT IS OXYGEN THERAPY?
 Oxygen therapy is administration of oxygen
in concentration more than in ambient air as
a medical intervention.
 Thus providing adequate oxygen in the
blood, while decreasing the work of breathing
and reducing the stress on the myocardium.

 CNS O2 toxicity (Paul Bert effect)
 occurs on breathing O2 at pressure > 1 atm
 tremors, twitching, convulsions
PULMONARY OXYGEN TOXICITY
C/F
 acute tracheobronchitis
 Cough and substernal pain
 ARDS like state
PULMONARY O2 TOXICITY (LORRAIN-SMITH
EFFECT)
Mechanism: High pO2 for a prolonged period of time
↓
intracellular generation of free radicals e.g.:
superoxide,H2O2 , singlet oxygen
↓
react with cellular DNA, sulphydryl proteins &lipids
↓
cytotoxicity
↓
damages capillary endothelium,
↓
Interstitial edema
Thickened alveolar capillary membrane.
↓
Pulmonary fibrosis and hypertension
A VICIOUS CYCLE
HOW MUCH O2 IS SAFE?
100% - not more than 12hrs
80% - not more than 24hrs
60% - not more than 36hrs
Goal should be to use lowest possible
FiO2 compatible with adequate tissue
oxygenation
INDICATIONS FOR 70% - 100% OXYGEN
THERAPY
1. Resuscitation
2. Periods of acute cardiopulmonary
instability
3. Patient transport
2. DEPRESSION OF VENTILATION
 Seen in COPD patients with chronic hypercapnia
 Mechanism
↑PaO2
suppresses peripheral V/Q mismatch
chemoreceptors
depresses ventilatory drive ↑ dead space/tidal volume
ratio
↑PaCO2
3. RETINOPATHY OF PREMATURITY (ROP)
 Premature or low-birth-weight infants who receive
supplemental O2
 Mechanism
↑PaO2
↓
retinal vasoconstriction
↓
necrosis of blood vessels
↓
new vessels formation
↓
Hemorrhage → retinal detachment and
blindness
To minimize the risk of ROP - PaO2 below 80 mmHg
4. ABSORPTION ATELECTASIS
100% O2
oxygen
nitrogen
PO2 =673
PCO2 = 40
PH2O = 47
A B
A – UNDERVENTILATED
B – NORMAL VENTILATED
DENITROGENATION ABSORPTION
ATELECTASIS
The “denitrogenation” absorption atelectasis
is because of collapse of underventilated
alveoli (which depends on nitrogen volume to
remain above critical volume )
↓
Increased physiological shunt
5. FIRE HAZARD
 High FiO2 increases the risk of fire
 Preventive measures
 Lowest effective FiO2 should be used
 Use of scavenging systems
 Avoid use of outdated equipment such as
aluminium gas regulators
 Fire prevention protocols should be followed
for hyperbaric O2 therapy

    INDICATIONS FOR 70%- 100% OXYGEN THERAPY 1. Resuscitation 2. Periods of acute cardiopulmonary instability 3. Patient transport

    2. DEPRESSION OFVENTILATION  Seen in COPD patients with chronic hypercapnia  Mechanism ↑PaO2 suppresses peripheral V/Q mismatch chemoreceptors depresses ventilatory drive ↑ dead space/tidal volume ratio ↑PaCO2

    3. RETINOPATHY OFPREMATURITY (ROP)  Premature or low-birth-weight infants who receive supplemental O2  Mechanism ↑PaO2 ↓ retinal vasoconstriction ↓ necrosis of blood vessels ↓ new vessels formation ↓ Hemorrhage → retinal detachment and blindness To minimize the risk of ROP - PaO2 below 80 mmHg

    4. ABSORPTION ATELECTASIS 100%O2 oxygen nitrogen PO2 =673 PCO2 = 40 PH2O = 47 A B A – UNDERVENTILATED B – NORMAL VENTILATED

    DENITROGENATION ABSORPTION ATELECTASIS The “denitrogenation”absorption atelectasis is because of collapse of underventilated alveoli (which depends on nitrogen volume to remain above critical volume ) ↓ Increased physiological shunt

    5. FIRE HAZARD High FiO2 increases the risk of fire  Preventive measures  Lowest effective FiO2 should be used  Use of scavenging systems  Avoid use of outdated equipment such as aluminium gas regulators  Fire prevention protocols should be followed for hyperbaric O2 therapy
