The important role of oxygen cylinders in healthcare

Why is medical oxygen so important?

Oxygen is an essential medicine used to care for patients at all levels of the healthcare system, including in surgery, trauma, heart failure, asthma, pneumonia and maternal and child care.According to World Health Organization,pneumonia alone accounts for 800 000 deaths per year. It is estimated that 20–40% of these deaths could be prevented with the availability of oxygen therapy.

 Where are oxygen cylinders often used?

Oxygen cylinders are primarily used in hospitals, clinics, home healthcare and emergency medical services.They provide a reliable source of oxygen for patients who require continuous or intermittent therapy. The portability of these cylinders allows healthcare providers to administer oxygen in emergency situations, ensuring that patients receive immediate care when every second counts.

In hospital,they are essential for patients suffering from respiratory diseases such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), asthma, and pneumonia.It helps to alleviate symptoms of hypoxia, a condition where the body or a region of the body is deprived of adequate oxygen supply.

Home healthcare also relies on portable oxygen cylinders to allow patients to remain independent while receiving necessary treatment.

Moreover, the use of medical oxygen is not limited to chronic illnesses. It is also essential in surgical procedures, where patients may need supplemental oxygen during anesthesia. In addition, oxygen therapy can aid in the recovery of patients post-surgery, enhancing their healing process.
