Hyperoxemia

Hyperoxia is a condition when there is a large amount of oxygen in the blood. This can be caused by various reasons, such as: respiratory failure, smoking, alcoholism, obesity, as well as certain medical procedures, such as a pressure chamber or a nebulizer.

Hyperoxia in older people occurs due to sclerotic changes in the lung tissue, atherosclerosis of the coronary and cerebral arteries. Moderate hyperoxyanemia is observed in any disease accompanied by anoxemia, but it usually does not affect blood pressure. A sharp and prolonged increase in the partial pressure of oxygen in the inspired air (so-called hyperbaric oxygenation) is accompanied by vasodilation and tachycardia due to stimulation of chemoreceptors of central and pulmonary hemodynamics in response to hypercapnia. At



Hyperoxemia is a condition characterized by increased oxygen levels in the blood. It can occur with various diseases and conditions, such as hypertension, cardiovascular disease, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), and also with physical activity. It is important to note that hyperoxemia can be dangerous to health, so it is necessary to monitor the level of oxygen in the blood and take measures to normalize it. In this article we will look at the causes of hyperoxia, its consequences for the body and ways to normalize oxygen levels in the blood.

Causes of hyperixemia. Hyperixia can occur under the influence of various factors, for example: high blood pressure, physical activity, smoking, as well as the use of alcohol and certain medications. Hyperixia can also develop with insufficient physical activity, resulting in a decrease in lung volume and reduced lung function. With age, decreased lung function can lead to
