Oxygen
The Oxygen Therapy Department at Allied Care Malolos Doctors is responsible for providing supplemental oxygen to patients who have conditions that compromise their ability to breathe effectively on their own. This may include patients with respiratory conditions such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), pneumonia, asthma, or acute respiratory failure, as well as individuals recovering from surgery or experiencing oxygen desaturation due to other medical reasons.
1
Oxygen Administration
The department administers supplemental oxygen to patients through various delivery devices, such as nasal cannulae, oxygen masks, high-flow nasal cannula systems, or non-invasive ventilation devices. The choice of delivery device depends on the patient's clinical condition and oxygen requirements.
2
Oxygen Monitoring
Healthcare providers in the department monitor patients' oxygen levels using pulse oximetry, a non-invasive method for measuring oxygen saturation (SpO2) in the blood. Regular monitoring helps assess the effectiveness of oxygen therapy and ensures that patients receive adequate oxygenation.
3
Adjustment of Oxygen Therapy
Oxygen therapy is adjusted based on patients' oxygen saturation levels, respiratory status, and clinical condition. Healthcare providers may titrate the flow rate or concentration of supplemental oxygen to maintain target oxygen saturation levels and optimize patient comfort and safety.
4
Emergency Oxygen
The Oxygen Therapy Department ensures that emergency oxygen is readily available throughout the hospital, including in patient rooms, treatment areas, and ambulatory settings, to respond promptly to acute respiratory emergencies or sudden changes in patient oxygenation.
5
Patient Education
The department provides education to patients and their families on the importance of oxygen therapy, proper use of oxygen delivery devices, signs of respiratory distress, and safety precautions associated with oxygen use, such as avoiding smoking and open flames.
