Description

Oxygen generation and gas supply device and method for operating room and ICU
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of medical gas engineering, and particularly relates to an oxygen generation and supply device and method for operating rooms and ICU.
Background
Medical oxygen is required for clinical medical treatment, and the purity of the medical oxygen is not less than 99.5 percent according to the mandatory provision of national standard GB8982-2009 medical and aviation respiratory oxygen. In addition, "oxygen" (medical oxygen) is also specified in the chinese pharmacopoeia (2015 edition) and should have an oxygen purity of ≡ 99.5%; meanwhile, the impurity requirements are specified in detail, and in clinical application, oxygen is managed according to medicines, and not all oxygen can be used for clinical treatment of ICU, operating room and the like.
Industrial oxygen can reach 99.5% purity, but cannot be used for clinical treatment because: although the purity is satisfied, the remaining 0.5% is harmful substances except 99.5%, and the treatment rate is lowered.
In addition, the national manufacturing chains are all drawn by standards, the national standards and pharmacopoeias standardize the purity of oxygen, the standard of air mixing and air distribution of a breathing machine and an anesthesia machine is 99.5 percent, and if the purity does not reach the standard, the mishandling and alarming of medical instruments for clinical treatment such as the breathing machine, the anesthesia machine and the like are obviously caused, so that the confusion and the serious delay of the treatment of patients are caused.
In addition, some patients must be treated with medical oxygen with the purity reaching the standard, typically, gas poisoning and the like, and oxygen used in critical operations, anesthesia and the like are also included, and the normal operation of a trimethyl hospital is legal medical oxygen.
At present, most hospitals in China still adopt 'medical oxygen' which is legal and compliant to purchase to meet the clinical treatment requirements, typically, medical liquid oxygen and bottle oxygen are purchased and transported to the hospitals for use, but because transportation is not likely to be intermittent. The liquid oxygen and the high-pressure bottle oxygen have great potential safety hazards in the links of transportation, storage, operation and use and the like because of the medium characteristics and the pressure.
In addition, some hospitals with smaller scale can only prepare about 93% of oxygen purity, also called "oxygen-enriched air" or "93 oxygen", because the liquid oxygen and the bottle oxygen are inconvenient to supplement, and the medical molecular sieve is adopted to prepare oxygen on site, and the oxygen is prepared on site, so that the safety is good, the cost is low, the oxygen demand of general restorative treatment can be met, the safety and other problems are solved to a certain extent, the oxygen supply contradiction is relieved, and the purity is not up to national standard and pharmacopoeia requirements, and the medical oxygen can not be provided for operating rooms and ICU and is limited to a certain extent.
Therefore, there is a need for an effective solution in providing "medical oxygen" of standard purity to the operating theatres, ICUs, of clinical care in numerous hospitals.
