4 CLINICAL PARTICULARS
4.1 THERAPEUTIC INDICATIONS
Medical Liquid Oxygen is widely used:
In clinical practice to provide a basis for virtually all modern
anaesthetic techniques as well as pre and post-
operative management.
To restore the tissue oxygen tension towards normal by improving
oxygen availability in a wide range of
conditions such as:
cyanosis of recent origin as a result of cardio-pulmonary disease
surgical trauma, chest wounds and rib fractures
shock, severe haemorrhage and coronary occlusion
carbon monoxide poisoning
major trauma, e.g. road traffic accidents and gunshot wounds
hyperpyrexia
in the management of sudden cardiac and respiratory arrest, whether
drug induced or traumatic.
in the resuscitation of the critically ill when the circulation is
impaired.
in neo-natal resuscitation.
In all cases, the Medical Liquid Oxygen is vaporised to a compressed
gas at ambient conditions before being administered to the
patient
4.2 POSOLOGY AND METHOD OF ADMINISTRATION
There is no distinction generally between the use of oxygen in age
groups other than neonates (see section 4.4).
Medical Liquid Oxygen is administered by vaporising the liquid to a
gas at ambient temperatures and delivered for
inhalation through the lungs. The major exception is when a metered
supply is fed into the oxygenator of the
extracorporeal circulation of a cardio-pulmonary by-pass system.
