Development and Application of Oxygen Breathing Apparatus Used in Hyperbaric Chambers for Patients with Tracheotomy

Objective To develop an oxygen breathing apparatus used in hyperbaric chambers for patients with tracheotomy and apply in patients with severe craniocerebral injury patients.Methods An oxygen breathing apparatus was designed according with the rules of hyperbaric oxygen chamber for patients with tracheotomy.Then 62 patients with tracheotomy for the severe craniocerebral injury(45 by traffic accident,12 by fighting and 5 by fall) were treated by hyperbaric chambers with the developed apparatus.The condition of the developed apparatus and patients and complications were observed and recorded.Results The developed oxygen breathing apparatus was safe and convenient.All patients completed hybaroxia treatment successfully with satisfying outcome.No complications observed.Conclusion It is safe and effective to use the developed oxygen breathing apparatus in patients with tracheotomy for the severe craniocerebral injury.This equipment is easy to made and convenient to use and worthy to be widely used.
