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 Anti Inflammatory Oxygen Therapy written by Mark Sircus and published by Square One Publishers, Inc.. This book was released on 2015-08-20 with total page 164 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is invisible, it is powerful, and it is life sustaining. It is oxygen. We inhale it every day of our lives, and while it makes up only 21 percent of the air we breathe, it is key to our very existence. The more we learn about its healing properties, the more we recognize its tremendous potential as a medical treatment for many serious disorders. Yet few have known about its important therapeutic uses—until now. In his new book, Anti-Inflammatory Oxygen Therapy, best-selling author Dr. Mark Sircus examines the remarkable benefits oxygen therapy offers, from detoxification to treatments for disorders such as arthritis and aging, with a special emphasis on cancer. While the term “oxygen therapy” conjures images of a crucially ill patient lying in a hospital bed with tubes strapped to his face, this book will show that oxygen can offer so much more. Dr. Sircus first looks at the nature of oxygen and its purpose in the body. He then provides an understanding of how inflammation works to destroy the body’s tissues over time, and how oxygen can reverse this process. He examines the current treatments that use hyperbaric oxygen chambers as well as newer protocols that employ this vital element. In addition, Dr. Sircus offers a simple, safe, and highly effective fifteen-minute technique that can be used in the privacy of your home so that you can enjoy maximum benefits for a healthier life. If you are wondering why you haven’t heard about this “miracle” treatment before, the truth is that oxygen cannot be patented, it is not expensive, and you don’t have to be a specialist to use it. Without a tremendous profit behind it, it’s become a well-kept secret, but the facts speak for themselves. In this book, you will learn these life-altering facts—information that could change your health for the better.

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."

Book excerpt: "It can help reverse the effects of strokes and head injuries. It can help heal damaged tissues. It can fight infections and diseases. It can save limbs. The treatment is here, now, and is being successfully used to benefit thousands of patients throughout the country. This treatment is hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT)." "Safe and painless, HBOT uses pressurized oxygen administered in special chambers. It has been used for years to treat divers with the bends, a serious illness caused by overly rapid ascensions. As time has gone on, however, doctors have discovered other applications for this remarkable treatment. In Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy, Dr. Richard Neubauer and Dr. Morton Walker explain how this treatment overcomes hypoxia, or oxygen starvation in the tissues, by flooding the body's fluids with life-giving oxygen. In this way, HBOT can help people with strokes, head and spinal cord inquiries, and multiple sclerosis regain speech and mobility. When used to treat accident and fire victims. HBOT can promote the faster, cleaner healing of wounds and burns, and can aid those overcome with smoke inhalation. It can be used to treat other types of injuries, including damage caused by radiation treatment and skin surgery, and fractures that won't heal. HBOT can also help people overcome a variety of serious infections, ranging from AIDS to Lyme disease. And, as Dr. Neubauer and Dr. Walker point out, it can do all of this by working hand in hand with other treatments, including surgery, without creating additional side effects and complications."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.
