All hospitals need to havea large stock of oxygen for their patients. As handling oxygen cylinders can be troublesome sometimes, the use of a medical oxygen generator is the better option. MVS Engineering Pvt. Ltd is arenowned company that earned fame by delivering oxygen plants to numerous hospitals and health centers in India. It takes care of the installation and maintenance of oxygen generators at all clients’ sites.
Medical ailments that need oxygen support
Many patients are admittedto hospitals with respiratory issues. Sometimes, they may find it difficult to
breathe also due to problems in other organs. MVS Engineering designs oxygen generators to provide oxygen for medical use continuously, tomake patients comfortable in breathing.
The following healthproblems demand oxygen supply to patients –
✔ Breathing trouble due to issues in the respiratory track,which can be corrected with extra oxygen supply
✔ Artificial breathing when a patient is under a life supportsystem and normal breathing is no longer possible
✔ Respiratory support before administering anesthesia to apatient, to form a base before introducing anesthesia gas into the respiratory
tract
✔ Ventilation after the patient undergoes a major surgery,mainly in the heart, brain, or other vital organs, after which respiratory
support is essential
✔ Irregular heartbeats or cardiac arrhythmia can be stabilizedwith oxygen support
✔ Severe cardiac problems lead to shortness of breathing, whichshould be aided with oxygen
✔ Oxygen therapy for the treatment of physical and mentaltrauma, where a supplemental supply of oxygen is provided
Vital parts of a medical oxygen generator
A PSA oxygen generatorcomprises multiple units, each of which is engaged in a specific function in
generating oxygen. A medical oxygen generator contains –
⮚ An air compressor is fitted with an air dryer. This unit fitsinto the system like a screw, to compress and cool the atmospheric air before passing it on for oxygen generation.
⮚ An oil filter is used to eliminate oil particles and dustparticles from the air. Thus, air is purified to ensure pure oxygen production.
⮚ Two PSA towers are used to produce pure oxygen gasalternatively from air. When molecular sieves of one tank are saturated with absorbed nitrogen, the production is automatically shifted to the second tank.
⮚ An oxygen tank is needed to collect pure oxygen gas, which isthen transferred through pipelines to the beds of patients.
⮚ The oxygen analyzertests the purity level of oxygen that is produced through PSA technology.
⮚ Bacterial filter to destroy all bacteria and othermicroorganisms from the oxygen.
Hence, patients now do notneed to worry about oxygen for medical use. They are supplied with oxygen as long as they need it.
