    • @king0s
      @king0s 3 года назад +3

      @@nik0001-d6i No it's not bad altogether. When more oxygen is supplied, our body metabolizes oxygen at much faster rate which leads to increased Oxygen free radical production. Our body has mechanisms to handle these free radicals using antioxidant enzymes, which are produced at a finite rate and at a break point the free radicals are overwhelmingly more in number that they start damaging the alveoli. Most of the studies for oxygen toxicity are done in terms of 48 to 72 to 100 hours. And reasonably getting oxygen therapy is very beneficial if it's for a couple of days provided that the O2 percentage is not high like 90%. That's why the general practice is to start at a particular O2 percentage and decrease it gradually to a point that they can be weaned off O2 support, so that they sustain good oxygen saturation levels at room O2 levels.
      But the problem is when the patient is on O2 for weeks together.
      This is a problem in countries like India where the sheer number of Covid patients means that not everyone can be given individual monitoring by a medical personnel.

      I recently bought an oxygen concentrator for times when I get anxious about breathing and can't catch my breath. Just having it available relieves my mind. I use it perhaps two or three hours total per day. I'm happy that the amount of liters was mentioned as I had it turned up too much.
