Abstract:
Oxygen is an important guarantee for the treatment of critically ill patients in public health emergencies,and its normal guarantee and supply have become the primary issue that every hospital needs to face and solve.The fundamental reasons for the shortage of oxygen supply in hospitals during the period of public health emergencies were explored by understanding the admission of critically ill patients and the supply of oxygen.Based on the actual needs of clinical medical treatment,it was found that the main reasons for insufficient oxygen supply were limited liquid oxygen storage capacity,reduced vaporization efficiency,small diameter of delivery pipe,throttling of secondary pressure reducing boxes,etc.It was recommended the limit requirement for the volume of medical liquid oxygen storage tanks be revised to 5m3.Hospitals can adjust and allocate according to actual medical needs,optimize the design and selection of vaporizers and pipeline systems,normalize and standardize the quality control and testing of medical gas systems,and when allowed by regulations and approved by clinical physicians,use oxygen-enriched air(93%oxygen)to supply oxygen to general wards,and provide more medical oxygen(≥99.5%)to critically ill patients who require life support.
