Medical gas is the gas used for medical procedure, a number of other gases are used to treat, to anesthesia and a number used to control, support for the equipment and medical tools.
Medical gas is considered prescription drugs because the use of them to do the drug is not safe without the supervision of a licensed physician or by the emergency personnel have been trained and instructions.
In hospitals, the medical use of medical gases most include the operating room, sterilization room, room, money, the media, the recovery room, obstetrics, obstetrics, ICU, and medical technology. In addition, it also serves for pharmaceutical products from the stage of raw material preparation to production, fabrication and packaging of drugs.
Medical gases used in hospitals for many purposes. These include elements and compounds gas common following: oxygen, nitrogen, nitrous oxide, argon, helium, Sf6, carbon dioxide and compressed air.
Properties and uses, the type of medical gas as popular as following:
1.Gas medical Oxygen
Oxygen is the gas most basic of survival should make sure this is the type of medical gas most important in patient care. Type medical gas is used to supplement oxygen for patients who suffer from lack of oxygen as shock, severe bleeding, poisoning, cardiovascular disease, resuscitation…. Oxygen is the gas type medical basics are required in every facility health care.
Work directly breathing oxygen gas high purity harmful dangerous for the human body. Long-term use, then the concentration of oxygen gas usually does not exceed 30 – 40%. Oxygen is also used in the pressure vessel to dive, cure poisoning gas and nebulizer medications.
2.Medical gases nitrogen Oxides
When the patient inhales a gas nitrous oxide will have the effect of anesthesia and pain relief, but will suffocate if inhaled a large amount. Medically, the mixture of medical gases nitrous oxide and oxygen is used as anesthetic during surgery, when performing dental procedures.
Nitrous oxide is used in surgery cold to destroy tissue. Often gas N2O will be taken to the hospital in the average high pressure and provided through the medical gas system.
3.Carbon dioxide
- In the medical carbon dioxide gas is used to distend the abdominal cavity and the colon serves for the laparoscopy and colonoscopy.
- CO2 can also be used for culturing bacteria in the laboratory (anaerobic bacteria).
- Carbon dioxide into dry ice by the impact pressure (5,2 atm) and cold (below -56,6 ° C). Dry ice health is used to apply cold to the treatment of cataract and of vascular diseases.
- Be used to mix with air or oxygen respiratory irritation; check the sensitivity of the teeth in dentistry.
- Carbon dioxide is often used to ablation during surgery and use in laser surgery. Pressure gas system will be maintained at 345 kPa (50,0 psi), UK 4 bar (400 kPa; 58 psi).
- This gas is also used for treatment for a number of respiratory disorders.
4.Medical gas Argon, Helium
, Argon and helium are the types of medical gas is inert, colorless, odorless, and completely non-toxic. In medical applications is for knives gas argon, air blade and the other surgical instruments.
Helium is used in a mixture of breathing for the patient suffered deterioration of lung function.
5.The type pneumatic
compressed Air is used to provide energy for the surgical instruments, oral instruments orthopedic and breathing apparatus.
Nitrogen supply pressure air compressor for medical equipment, stop the burning process and chemical reactions other. At the same time are important components of many gas mixture.
Air medical is a type of compressed air is provided to the medical unit with a compressor, special gas used treat breathing and is a component for the respiratory gases other.
Pneumatic support the process of shipping the packages of drugs from production stage to stage another contribution in the production of antibiotics, accelerate the process of drying medications, cleaning bacteria,….
6.Nitrogen gas and liquid nitrogen
Nitrogen is colorless, odorless, non-flammable and non-toxic, in medical use to adjust the equipment and medical instruments. Nitrogen is often used to provide energy for the surgical equipment pneumatic.
Liquid nitrogen application in cryosurgery in ophthalmology, oral and maxillofacial and the obstetrics and gynaecology.
7.SF6 gas
The application of SF6 gas in healthcare, including patient care, research, and pharmaceutical production. SF6 gas is also used in ophthalmology to pump the gas into the eye to fixed retina after Vitrectomy for a time until the eye heals. It works to cover the tear and prevent the bubbles fall to the retina.
What kind of medical gases, this role is very important in the field of pharmaceutical and medical, disease treatment and health care community. Want to have high efficiency, it is obligatory select product gas quality, high purity. To learn and order medical gas please contact for MIGCO Hotline 093.77.55.800
