1.
WHAT IS MEDICAL HELIUM AND WHAT IS IT USED FOR
Medical Helium is a medicinal gas, supplied in cylinders filled to a
high pressure.
Medical Helium is a very light gas and flows through openings in the
lungs with obstructions much
more easily than other medical gases. Medical Helium will always be
given to you with Medical
Oxygen.
Medical Helium is used:
•
to help the flow of Oxygen into the lungs if you are suffering from
breathing diseases such as
bronchitis
•
to assist you to breathe if part of the lung fails to expand
•
with other medical gases for lung function testing
•
to prevent the collapse of lung tissue in certain conditions.
2.
THINGS TO CONSIDER BEFORE USE
Medical Helium is only given to you in a hospital or clinic under the
supervision of a healthcare
professional. Ensure that your healthcare professional is aware of any
medical conditions that you
may have.

4 CLINICAL PARTICULARS
4.1 THERAPEUTIC INDICATIONS

easily then other medical gases.
Helium is used with a least 21% oxygen in the following circumstances:

respiratory obstruction.
To prevent atelectasis
In various concentrations, in conjunctions with air or oxygen, for gas
transfer lung function tests.
4.2 POSOLOGY AND METHOD OF ADMINISTRATION
There is no distinction generally between the use of helium in age
groups.
In its role as a carrier for oxygen, helium is
administered through the lungs by inhalation with 21% or higher
concentrations of oxygen by mask or endotracheal
tube.
Cylinders should only be used in conjunction with medical helium gas
pressure regulators, although medical
oxygen gas pressure regulators may be used on the F-size helium
cylinders.
4.3 CONTRAINDICATIONS
