Normally, the fetus obtains oxygen and nutrients from the outside world through the umbilical cord of the pregnant mother, provided that the mother's physical health is good and normal. But sometimes during the process of pregnancy, if the mother's physical condition does not allow it, there may be a lack of oxygen, and the fetus also faces the situation of insufficient oxygen. Another thing is that there may be a lack of oxygen near delivery, and oxygen therapy is helpful for delivery at this time. Next, let's take a look at the precautions for pregnant women to take oxygen therapy with the editor.
Precautions for oxygen inhalation in pregnant women
1. The normal development of the fetus will enhance metabolic activity, thus requiring sufficient oxygen. The supply of oxygen to the uterus has a significant impact on the intelligence of the fetus. Prenatal hypoxia can damage the fetal brain, leading to low birth intelligence, slow response, dullness, and even lifelong disability. Fetal intrauterine hypoxia is easily detected without drug treatment, and can only be prevented through oxygen health care and oxygen therapy. According to statistics, 90% of children with low intelligence have a decrease in respiratory rate during pregnancy, childbirth, and neonatal asphyxia. The ventilation volume per minute has increased from 8 liters per minute before pregnancy to 11 liters per minute during full-term pregnancy. Due to the increase in ventilation volume, pregnant women need to inhale more oxygen.
2. Ensuring the oxygen needs of the fetus and placenta, while exhaling more carbon dioxide during inhalation, is beneficial for the diffusion and emission of carbon dioxide from the fetus to the mother. Therefore, for the treatment of babies before birth, effective methods are commonly used to provide oxygen to mothers. By regularly administering oxygen (portable oxygen cylinders), the oxygen partial pressure, oxygen content, and oxygen reserve of the mother, placenta, and fetus can be rapidly increased to ensure sufficient oxygen supply to the placenta and accelerate the nutrient supply in the mother's body. Penetrating into the body to improve fetal hypoxia, promote fetal growth and development, and brain cell development is beneficial for diseases such as heart, lung, and kidney. Pregnant women should adhere to regular oxygen therapy to avoid organ failure, prolong the growth time of the fetus, ensure fetal maturity, and prove that the intelligence and physical fitness of the babies born to pregnant women with oxygen therapy are higher than those born to oxygen seekers. Regular oxygen therapy for pregnant women can give birth to smart and healthy babies.
3. Doing more exercise and walking in the park during pregnancy can be more effective than oxygen therapy. If you must go, you can take oxygen after 3-4 months, and it is recommended to take it at most once every two weeks.
The above are the precautions for pregnant women to take oxygen therapy compiled by the editor. Based on the above information, we can see that the normal development of the fetus requires oxygen. In special circumstances, oxygen inhalation is still necessary, but there are also some things to pay attention to when inhaling oxygen to prevent accidents. It's better to do more outdoor aerobic exercise.
