Can pregnant women take oxygen at home on their own?

In recent years, with the rise of oxygen bars and the use of family oxygen bags, people have some understanding of oxygen inhalation, especially pregnant women have begun to try oxygen. Experts say that under normal circumstances, pregnant women do not need to receive oxygen.

Recently, it has been learned from the obstetrics and gynecology departments of major hospitals that more and more pregnant women are consulting oxygen inhalation, and there are not a few pregnant women who take the initiative to ask for oxygen. Of these populations, there are very few pregnant women who are candidates for oxygen.

Under normal circumstances, pregnant women do not need oxygen, and their normal inhalation of oxygen can fully meet the needs of themselves and their fetus. Moreover, long-term oxygen inhalation is unnecessary and may even harm the health of the pregnant woman and the fetus. "If the examination finds that the pregnant woman has heart disease, insufficient blood and oxygen supply, or the fetus has problems such as intrauterine growth retardation, placental dysfunction, fetal distress, etc., she should go to the hospital for oxygen inhalation under the guidance of a doctor**. Because of the different conditions of patients, the flow, concentration, and time of oxygen inhalation are slightly different. If you inhale oxygen at home, if you don't control the concentration and flow of oxygen, it is easy to damage your health. In addition, oxygen inhalation** is phased, once the pregnant woman's blood supply and oxygen supply are insufficient, fetal intrauterine growth retardation and other problems have been alleviated, oxygen inhalation ** must be stopped.

It is recommended that pregnant women should go outdoors with clean air for aerobic exercise and green exercise, so that the body is replenished with an appropriate amount of healthy natural oxygen, and the pregnant woman herself is healthy, and the fetus will also get good development.

It is best for pregnant women to go outdoors with clean air for aerobic exercise and green exercise, so that the body is replenished with the right amount of healthy natural oxygen, and the pregnant woman herself is healthy, and the fetus will also get good development. You can also put some portable oxygen inhalation equipment at home, such as pregnancy and health oxygen, etc., when there is a lack of oxygen during pregnancy, the phenomenon of chest tightness and dizziness will be significantly relieved.

No. When there is a lack of oxygen, many families will bring their own oxygen inhalers, thinking that they can relieve the user's symptoms at any time. In fact, doctors do not recommend users to take oxygen at home.

Oxygen cylinders are explosive products, and if they are not operated properly, they may cause a dangerous situation and may threaten the life safety of users.

Although many people think that the operation of the oxygen inhaler is not complicated, but non-professionals are easy to grasp the concentration and flow of oxygen, if the oxygen inhalation is excessive, it will also cause oxygen poisoning, which may also have an adverse effect on the fetus, but endanger the health of the user, so the user should try to avoid self-oxygenation.

Oxygen inhalation is an adjunctive method used for a variety of diseases, it can correct hypoxia, can promote metabolism, can increase the level of arterial blood oxygen partial pressure and oxygen saturation. For example, patients with respiratory failure, cerebrovascular disease or coronary heart disease can receive oxygen. In addition, patients who have undergone surgery, patients who have hemorrhagic shock, pregnant women with poor fetal heart sounds or have been giving birth for a long time can also receive oxygen.

In addition, regular oxygen inhalation during pregnancy can increase the arterial blood oxygen content of pregnant women, which is beneficial to improving the physical performance of pregnant women and is conducive to the growth and development of the fetus.

However, not all pregnant women can receive oxygen, generally speaking, such as pregnant women with anemia, poor lung function, heart disease, etc., the hospital recommends oxygen inhalation. For expectant mothers with weak constitution and anemia, if it is confirmed that pregnant women can better protect the health of the fetus, it is beneficial and harmless to inhale oxygen regularly and quantitatively. However, the time of oxygen inhalation should not be too long, generally speaking, the time of each oxygen inhalation is about half an hour, and it can last for a week at most.

Although it is said that pregnant women can inhale oxygen, they cannot inhale it blindly, and must follow the guidance of the hospital.

Now people's living conditions are getting better and better, after pregnancy, the fetus can develop better and better, many families are not stingy, and even prepare oxygen equipment, hoping that sufficient oxygen can make pregnant women more comfortable and babies smarter. Can pregnant women take oxygen casually, and can pregnant women get oxygen often?

Pregnant women should not take oxygen casually, and regular oxygen inhalation is harmful to both pregnant women and babies. Excessive oxygen can lead to poisoning, and the death of some organisms is caused by excessive oxygen, and the oxygen in the air that humans breathe is only a part. The oxygen concentration of the hospital's equipment for inhaling oxygen to patients is only slightly higher than that of air.

Therefore, high concentrations of oxygen are harmful to humans, and oxygen poisoning is irreversible, so if you want to inhale oxygen during pregnancy, you must first go to the hospital for a physical examination, and then inhale oxygen according to the doctor's advice and guidance according to the physical examination.

Despite this, oxygen is an essential element for human development, and there are many disadvantages in the case of hypoxia, such as dizziness, nausea, palpitations in pregnant women, and hypoxia in the fetus. Therefore, when hypoxia is severe, oxygen inhalation is also very important. In order to avoid the fetus from developing and overtaking oxygen due to hypoxia, it is important to master the correct oxygen inhalation method.

Oxygen is inhaled only when you feel hypoxic, and then the oxygen inhalation time is controlled, and a single oxygen inhalation should not exceed 30 minutes.
