Oxygen helps and is not invasive.Doctor Ovidiu Mlădinescu specifies the non-invasive methods of administering oxygenThe difference between oxygen therapy and intubation is huge.And not all cases with respiratory problems end up in intensive care.Even a saturation below 50% in the blood can be treated non-invasively.The sooner, the better.If the oxygen level drops below 95%, there is a problem."This deficit, over time, causes each organ, depending on how much oxygen it needs, to fail one by one," said Ovidiu Mlădinescu, pulmonologist - Timişoara Victor Babeş Hospital.See more articles in the health categoryThe most used is oxygen from the network.Simple to administer and without discomfort.Ana Roman has been connected to oxygen for almost two weeks."I do not mind.Only, when I felt good, it bothered me that I was getting hot.So I had no problems.It doesn't bother," said Ana Roman, patient.Where there is no oxygen network, concentrators are used.The principle is the same.Only the flow differs.And patients who, in addition to COVID, also have other respiratory diseases, need CPAP, a device that pushes air into the lungs.Even patients with more serious forms of COVID-19 do not necessarily end up intubated.Doctors try high-flow first.A device with a flow rate 12 times greater than that of a concentrator."The more oxygen that reaches the lungs, the more oxygen passes, even in spite of an impaired lung, into the blood.So that, in the blood, I end up with normal saturations", said Ovidiu Mlădinescu."We manage, with this administration of oxygen, at increased flow, between 30 and 60 liters, to maintain saturations at normal, optimal values."If this does not happen, the patient is taken to the ATI, but is not intubated directly, but is monitored more closely.OXYGEN FLOW NON-INVASIVE DEVICESFor the most important news of the day, transmitted in real time and presented equidistantly, LIKE our Facebook page!Follow Mediafax on Instagram to see spectacular images and stories from around the world!The content of the www.mediafax.ro website is intended exclusively for your information and personal use.It is forbidden to republish the content of this site without the consent of MEDIAFAX.To obtain this agreement, please contact us at vanzari@mediafax.ro.Ciucă: Over 125,000 direct jobs on the Romanian market created by French capitalLIVE League of Nations, League B: Finland - Romania.The match has started in Helsinki.Tricolori, with Alibec on the attackLIVE TEXT The war in Ukraine, day 212.
