Kyslíková terapie


Definition from Wikiskripta:
Kyslíková terapie neboli oxygenoterapie je léčebná metoda, která spočívá v podávání kyslíku v koncentraci vyšší, než je v atmosferickém vzduchu (21 % O2, 78 % dusíku, 1 % ostatní plyny), čímž zvyšuje přísun kyslíku tkáním a orgánům nemocného, který má zachované spontánní dýchání.

Example sentence(s):
  • Hlavní léčbou hypoxémie je kyslíková terapie, která se podává většině dospělých pacientů přijatých na jednotku intenzivní péče. - Cochrane Czech Republic  
  • V léčbě koronavirové infekce se uplatňují následující postupy (v závislosti na závažnosti příznaků): Kyslíková terapie (podávání kyslíku přes kyslíkové masky či nosní katetry, pokud je to možné měla by se podávat směs vodíku a kyslíku v poměru 66,6% ku 33,3%). - Medlicker
