We apply Bobrov's apparatus in practice

Oxygenotherapy is a method of treatment with moistened oxygen. It is used for diseases of the respiratory, circulatory, gastrointestinal tract. Not bad recommended oxygen therapy itself in purulent and vascular surgery, when treatment and healing of extensive wound surfaces is required. The same way make up for the lack of oxygen in hypoxia in high altitude climbers. Essential help is provided by oxygen therapy to small premature babies, who are in cuvies.

The oxygen will come to the rescue

Oxygen is transported and stored in oblong blue balloons. In medical institutions, it is placed in special rooms with a system of pipelines. By this system, oxygen is transported directly to the patient in the room.

Oxygen is introduced into the body of a sick person in various ways, but the most common inhalation method is that oxygen is supplied through Bobrov's apparatus. The oxygen cushion is similarly used , which is similar to a rubber bag with a mouthpiece. The capacity of such a cushion is up to 70 liters of oxygen. It is filled directly from the cylinder.

In some institutions, you can visit a pressure chamber, an oxygen tent or a room where humidified oxygen enters centrally. Such therapy is good because during the session people can communicate and additionally engage in respiratory gymnastics.

Oxygenotherapy through Bobrov's apparatus

The toxicity of oxygen depends on its concentration and the time of exposure to the body. Therapy with pure oxygen can be conducted no more than 6 hours, so it is often moistened and dosed. This helps avoid complications of treatment and improves the healing properties of the chemical.

To humidify oxygen, Bobrov's apparatus is used. It is a glass container with a tight-fitting lid, from which two tubes of glass come out. Pipes are different in height. In the long there is a supply of oxygen (it falls into the water to the very bottom), and the moistened air enters the patient through a short one (under the lid itself). The necessary pressure is created by means of a rubber tube, on the end of which a pear is attached. The humidifier is disassembled sterilized using an air sterilizer.

Bobrov's device should be used carefully

There is some danger when working with this unit. It consists in the fact that during therapy with excess pressure, the glass container can rupture. Therefore, for safety reasons, Bobrov's apparatus is wrapped with a band-aid. The best way out of this situation is the use on the cover of a special plug, capable of popping up in an emergency situation.

The rules for the safe use of oxygen should be strictly observed. It must be remembered that with oils and ethyl alcohol it forms an explosive mixture, therefore only qualified workers must deal with supplying oxygen to Bobrov's apparatus.
