conclusions this study supports the preventative effects of aminophylline on apnea in extreme premature infants. in other words, the more premature an infant, the greater the preventative effect of aminophylline on the incidence of apnea and bradycardia. background a few studies have been carried on preventive drugs for apnea of preterm neonates. objectives this study aimed to assess the safety...

The effects of oxygen inhalation for 48 h on the antioxidant capacity of lungs, livers, and brains in normal and vitamin E-deficient rats at various ages were examined. The activity levels of catalase, glutathione peroxidase, and superoxide dismutase, and the level of vitamin E in tissue homogenates were assayed as the indices of antioxidant capacity. Oxygen inhalation mostly decreased antioxid...

Heliox, a helium-oxygen gas mixture, has been used for many decades to treat obstructive pulmonary disease. The lower density and higher viscosity of heliox relative to nitrogen-oxygen mixtures can significantly reduce airway resistance when an anatomic upper air-flow obstruction is present and gas flow is turbulent. Clinically, heliox can decrease airway resistance in acute asthma in adults an...

A 69-year-old man with chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH) was on amblatory oxygen inhalation therapy (3 L/min) and scheduled for percutaneous transluminal pulmonary angioplasty (PTPA). The patient's New York Heart Association functional status was class III with recent worsening of dyspnea and apparent leg edema. Transthoracic echocardiography revealed right ventricular enlar...

This study aims to identify the effectiveness of therapeutic play on anxiety level children receiving inhalation therapy. The method used is a systematic review using PICO strategy Scopus, Science Direct, Clinical Key, and Proquest databases. results showed that effectively reduced eliminated in during therapy procedures. In conclusion, non-pharmacological nurses can do who experience due proce...

BACKGROUND Potential benefits or risks of oxygen inhalation for patients with acute myocardial infarction are not fully understood. OBJECTIVE We performed this study to systematically assess the effectiveness and safety of oxygen therapy for patients with acute myocardial infarction. DESIGN A systematic review and meta-analysis. DATA SOURCES We searched randomized controlled trials system...

Hyperbaric medicine is the fascinating use of barometric pressure for delivering increased oxygen dissolved in plasma to body tissues. Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HOT) or hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) involves intermittent inhalation of 100% oxygen under a pressure exceeding that of the atmosphere, that is greater than 1 atmosphere absolute (ATA). Therapy is given in special therapeutic chambers which...
