Preoksügeneerimine

Preoksügeneerimine is a process related to the production and use of oxygen, particularly in medical or industrial contexts. It refers to the administration of oxygen at a concentration higher than that found in ambient air, typically to increase the oxygen saturation in the blood or to supplement oxygen in a process. This can be achieved through various methods, including nasal cannulas, face masks, or more advanced respiratory support systems. The term itself is derived from "pre-" indicating before or prior, and "oxygenation," meaning the process of introducing oxygen. Therefore, preoksügeneerimine essentially describes the act of increasing oxygen levels before or during a specific procedure or situation where higher oxygen availability is beneficial. In a medical setting, it is often employed before suctioning, intubation, or during transport of critically ill patients to ensure adequate oxygen supply to tissues. Industrially, it might be used in chemical reactions or biological processes where an oxygen-rich environment is required for optimal performance. The duration and concentration of preoksügeneerimine are carefully controlled based on the individual's needs and the specific application to avoid potential complications, such as oxygen toxicity.
