Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Oxygen therapy is a treatment that provides a patient with extra oxygen to breathe in. It is also called supplemental oxygen. It is only available through a prescription from a health care provider. Patients may receive it in hospital, another medical setting, or at home. Some people only need it for a short period of time. Others will need long-term oxygen therapy. There are different types of devices that can provide oxygen. Some use tanks of liquid or gas oxygen. Others use an oxygen concentrator, which pulls oxygen out of the air. The oxygen is administered through a nose tube (cannula), a mask, or a tent. The extra oxygen is breathed in along with normal air. This book is a concise guide to oxygen therapy for clinicians and trainees. Divided into four sections the text begins with an overview of the basic facts of oxygen, describing the different types and their individual uses in clinical therapy. Section two discusses the physiology and monitoring of oxygen therapy, and section three covers different devices and delivery systems, and oxygen toxicity (lung damage from breathing in too much extra oxygen). The final section examines oxygen targets in disease specifics, how the therapy works, and the effects of hypoxia (low oxygen levels in body tissues) and hypoxemia (low oxygen levels in the blood).

Book excerpt: "Hypoxaemia is a major contributor to child deaths that occur worldwide each year; for a child with pneumonia hypoxaemia increases the risk of death by up to 5 times. Despite its importance in virtually all types of acute severe illness, hypoxaemia is often not well recognized or well managed, more so in settings where resources are limited. Oxygen therapy remains an inaccessible luxury for a large proportion of severely ill children admitted to hospitals in developing countries. This is particularly true for patients in small district hospitals, where, even if some facility for delivering oxygen is available, supplies are often unreliable and the benefits of treatment may be diminished by poorly maintained, inappropriate equipment or poorly trained staff with inadequate guidelines. Increasing awareness of these problems is likely to have considerable clinical and public health benefits in the care of severely ill children. Health workers should be able to know the clinical signs that suggest the presence of hypoxaemia and have more reliable means of detection of hypoxeamia. This can be achieved through more widespread use of pulse oximetry, which is a non-invasive measure of arterial oxygen saturation. At the same time oxygen therapy must be more widely available; in many remote settings, this can be achieved by use of oxygen concentrators, which can run on regular or alternative sources of power. Having effective systems for the detection and management of hypoxaemia are vital in reducing mortality from pneumonia and other severe acute illnesses. Oxygen therapy is essential to counter hypoxaemia and many times is the difference between life and death. This manual focuses on the availability and clinical use of oxygen therapy in children in health facilities by providing the practical aspects for health workers, biomedical engineers, and administrators. It addresses the need for appropriate detection of hypoxaemia, use of pulse oximetry, clinical use of oxygen and delivery systems and monitoring of patients on oxygen therapy. In addition, the manual addresses practical use of pulse oximetry, and oxygen concentrators and cylinders in an effort to improve oxygen systems worldwide."--Publisher's description.

Download or read book Principles and Applications of Ozone Therapy written by Frank Shallenberger, M.D. and published by Createspace Independent Pub. This book was released on 2011-04-01 with total page 124 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Principles and Applications of Ozone Therapy – A Practical Guideline For Physicians is written by a practicing physician in the United States who has been using ozone therapy to treat patients or over 25 years. The book details how and why Dr. Shallenberger, an emergency room specialist, first became interested in ozone therapy. It then describes how his years of successful experience with it in a wide variety of medical conditions compelled him to discover how and why the therapy works so well. Ozone is a highly reactive form of oxygen. So he theorized that it works by enhancing the utilization of oxygen in the cells. In order to determine if he was on the right track, he developed a system which uses an FDA approved pulmonary gas analyzer to measure oxygen utilization. Then he began using that system in all of his patients. He discovered two unsuspected findings: • First, many people, even those who feel great, are in a state of decreased oxygen utilization. They have plenty of oxygen in their bodies, but they are not using it efficiently. • Second, ozone therapy tends to correct this condition. Based on these observations, Dr. Shallenberger then developed an entirely new paradigm for what causes disease and aging. He believes that the primary cause is decreased oxygen utilization. He presents biochemical and physiological evidence for this assertion. And then also presents evidence for how and why ozone therapy improve oxygen utilization, and in so doing, is instrumental in the treatment of many otherwise incurable medical conditions. The list includes cardiovascular diseases, chronic infections such as herpes and hepatitis C, macular degeneration, dental infections, chronic pain syndromes, degenerative joint conditions, and autoimmune diseases.Dr. Shallenberger shares his experiences with treating these diseases, and offers specific ozone therapy protocols which he has found to be effective. Dr. Shallenberger does not look at ozone therapy as a “magic bullet”. Instead he describes how it can be integrated with conventional approaches to yield better results.Dr. Shallenberger has been practicing primary care medicine since 1974. He is the Medical Director of The Nevada Center for Alternative and Anti-Aging Medicine, in Carson City, Nevada, and is considered the leading expert in ozone therapy in the United States. In 1991 he began training physicians in America and around the world in the various applications that he found ozone therapy to be so useful in. He has been teaching this course ever since.In 1995, Dr. Shallenberger developed a technique for pain management and joint reconstruction using a combination of ozone therapy and homeopathic therapy which he called Prolozone®. Now, hundreds of physicians from around the world are using this protocol to help their patients who suffer from chronic pain and degenerative joint disease.In 2010, Dr. Shallenberger was one of the original signers to The Madrid Declaration on Ozonotherapy. The Madrid Declaration was the first document to establish international scientific standards for ozone therapy. Later in 2010, he waselected to become a board member of the International Scientific Committee on Ozone Therapy.In December of 2010, Dr. Shallenberger established the American Academy of Ozonotherapy, and now serves as its first president. Dr. Shallenberger is the author of two popular lay medical books, The Type 2 Diabetes Breakthrough and Bursting With Energy, both of which feature ozone therapy. He has authored several scientific peer reviewed papers on ozone therapy, and is also editor of the Real Cures Newsletter. According to Dr. Shallenberger, "My medical experience leads me to believe that every practitioner needs to be familiar with these concepts and techniques in order to give their patients the best possible chance for success. That's why I wrote this book."
