Medical oxygen systems are generally employed in home care settings and are favoured by elderly patients who have trouble walking and rely on a consistent oxygen delivery. Some common medical disorders, such as emphysema, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), chronic bronchitis, and a long-term smoking effect, necessitate oxygen therapy. Medical oxygen systems, which include liquid oxygen systems, oxygen concentrators, and compressed oxygen cylinders, are used to provide patients with a controlled amount of oxygen. In the medical oxygen delivery system, there are three types of oxygen sources. First, the oxygen cylinder provided by the oxygen generator is placed in the hospital manifold to supply oxygen. Second, using a medical oxygen generator to extract oxygen from the air. Third, using liquid oxygen tank (liquid oxygen gasification) to supply oxygen.
A medical oxygen system provides oxygen to a patient who has been rendered unconscious due to brain damage or a life-threatening medical condition. Medical oxygen is required for a variety of medical procedures, including preventing oxygen deprivation in the human body during surgery, significant head injuries, accidents, blood loss, stroke, severe respiratory disorders, and even some cancer therapies. In today's world, oxygen has become a need. Medical oxygen generators can be compressed or non-compressed, and they both operate on the same concept. The first one compresses the gas in a container, while the latter uses nitrogen to create the pressure. Nitrogen is a nontoxic element which can also be used in other medical processes.
Oxygen concentrators turn liquid nitrogen into a gas that may be spread over a large area via tubes. These concentrators come be handy in emergency situations, especially in life support systems where accessing a patient is challenging. In an air ambulance, the compressed form can also be utilised to substitute compressed air and nitrogen. Portable oxygen devices have also had a lot of success in the emergency medical field. Through the introduction of the 'availability model', medical professionals are able to ensure that low-demand areas are offered supplies of oxygen, at a rate which meets or exceeds the level of demand within those same areas. This has been particularly useful in emergency and accident care where, due to a lack of oxygen, patients may be at risk of brain damage or death.
