1 & Oxygen Toxicity Module III CRC 431 Special Procedures

2 HBO OUTLINE Definitions History Altitude/descent Gas laws Physiologic effects of HBO

3 Therapeutic oxygen at pressures greater than 1 atm Unit expressing HBO pressure = ata Ata = atmospheric pressure absolute 1 ata = 1 atmosphere (atm), or 760 torr HBO general pressure range = 2 to 3 ata

4 Pressure: Pressure = Force/Area Force: Force = mass x acceleration

5 Ambient pressure = surrounding pressure on land, or under water. Atmospheric pressure = surrounding pressure caused by the weight of air. Water pressure = surrounding pressure caused by weight of water.

6 Barometric pressure = measure of atmospheric pressure Barometric pressure = atmospheric pressure When surrounded by air: atmospheric pressure = ambient pressure = barometric pressure

7 When surrounded by water: ambient pressure = water pressure CAUTION!!! Don t confuse: atmospheric pressure & atmosphere as unit.

8 Atmospheric pressure can be ANY value: 1 atm (sea level) ½ atm (8,000 feet elevation) 3 atm (hyperbaric chamber)

9 ABSOLUTE PRESSURE vs. GAUGE PRESSURE 33 ft sea water = 1 atm Gauges set sea level pressure at 0 torr At 33 ft depth, gauge indicates 1 atm Absolute pressure = 2 atm

10 First sealed chamber called Domicilium built in 1662 Chamber held compressed air (21% O 2 ) Treated various ailments: scurvy, arthritis, inflammation, rickets Likely too little compression to benefit patients

11 Beddoes is known as the Father of Respiratory Therapy Thomas Beddoes founded the Pneumatic Institute in Bristol, England 1780 Patients inhaled different gases to treat their diseases Pneumatic laboratory enriched with O 2 treated chronic conditions

12 J. Priestly discovered O 2 in England 1776 Antoinne Lavoisier of France shares O 2 discovery Father of English poet Thomas Lovell Beddoes

13 GAS LAWS Air under hyperbaric conditions obeys the same gas laws as air in the atmosphere. Boyle s law ( ) Dalton s law ( ) Henry s law ( )

14 Boyles s law When mass & T are K, V & P inverse K = V x P If P increases, V decreases, & vice versa

15 Boyle s law When mass & T are K, D & P direct K = D/P Consider container open at one end holding 1 L at 1 atm. At 2 atm, V by ½, & D doubles. At 3 atm, V by 1/3, & D triples.

16 Boyle s law During HBO, D in lungs increases. Deep scuba diving: D of air increases, & breathing becomes more difficult.

17 Dalton s law P T = pressure exerted by gas equals the sum of all the P gas of the constituent gases. P T = P 1 + P 2 + P 3 =... P n

18 Dalton s law To calculate the partial pressure of a gas in a mixture of gases: P gas = F gas (P T PH 2 O)

19 Dalton s law TRUE or FALSE The sum of the partial pressures of all the gases in a gas mixture can never exceed the total pressure of the gas mixture.????????????????????????

20 Dalton s law TRUE!!!

21 Dalton s law TRUE or FALSE As air pressure increases (hyperbarism) or decreases (altitude), the partial pressures exerted by the constituent gases increases or decreases, as well.???????????????????????????????????????

22 Dalton s law TRUE!!!

23 Dalton s law TRUE or FALSE When room air is compressed in a hyperbaric chamber, the percentage of the individual gases in the mixture is the same.???????????????????????????????????????

24 Dalton s law TRUE!!!

25 Dalton s law Lower partial pressures at altitude reflect presence of less O 2 & N 2 molecules per volume compared to sea level. Summit at Mt. Everest (29,000 ft): 21% O 2, 78% N 2, 1% other # of O 2 & N 2 molecules per volume of air only 1/3 that at sea level. PO 2 & PN 2 only 1/3 that at sea level

26 Henry s law Amount of gas that dissolves in a liquid at a given temperature is a function of the partial pressure of the gas in contact with the liquid, and the solubility of the gas in that particular liquid.

27 Henry s law SIMPLIFIED: As the partial pressure of a gas above the surface of a liquid increases, more of that gas will dissolve into that liquid.

28 Henry s & Dalton s laws When ambient pressure decreases (altitude), the partial pressures of O 2 & N 2 in the body fall, and fewer O 2 & N 2 molecules dissolve into the blood.

29 Henry s & Dalton s laws When ambient pressure increases (hyperbarism), the partial pressures of O 2 & N 2 in the body increase, and more O 2 & N 2 molecules dissolve into the plasma.

30 Physiological Effects Hyperoxygenation Increases volume of O 2 in plasma 10 to 13 x greater than normal Elevated O 2 levels purge toxins & CO from the body

31 Physiological Effects Hyperoxygenation At sea level while breathing room air plasma O 2 concentration is 0.3 vol% 100 mm Hg x vol%/mm Hg = 0.3 vol%

32 Physiological Effects Hyperoxygenation Alveolar Air Equation: PAO 2 = FIO 2 (PB PH 2 O) PaCO 2 (FIO 2 + [1.0 FIO 2 R])

33 Physiological Effects Hyperoxygenation HBO patient breathing FIO atm PAO 2 = 0.40(1,900 mm Hg 47 mm Hg) 40 mm Hg(0.40+ [ /0.8])

34 Hyperoxygenation PAO 2 = 0.40 (1,900 torr 47 torr) 40 torr(1.15) PAO 2 = 1,807 torr 1,807 torr vol%/torr = 5.4 vol% 5.4 ml O 2 /100 ml plasma

35 Normal a-v difference = 5.0 vol% Arterial Blood Mixed Venous Blood PaO mm Hg SaO % [Hb] 15 g% PvO 2 46 mm Hg SvO 2 73% [Hb] 15 g%

36 CaO 2 = (1.34)(15)(0.975) + 100(0.003) = 19.6 vol% CvO 2 = (1.34)(15)(0.73) + 46(0.003) = 14.6 vol% CaO 2 CvO 2 = a-v diff = 5.0 vol%

37 PHYSIOLOGICAL EFFECTS Hyperoxygenation HBO increases dissolved oxygen in the plasma

38

39 Physiological Effects Direct Pressure Shrinks gas bubbles (Boyle s law) to expedite reabsorption of gases Good for decompression sickness (DCS aka: the bends ) Good for air/gas embolism

40 Physiological Effects Vasoconstriction Reduces blood flow No significant reduction in tissue O 2 nation Benefits crushing type injuries Benefits thermal burns O 2 directly enters interstitial fluid promoting healing

41 Physiological Effects Bactericidal/Bacteriostatic Halts spread of toxins Enhances killing of bacteria Stimulates production of neutrophils

42 Physiological Effects Angiogenesis/Neovascularization Promote growth of new blood vessels Promote collagen formation to support new blood vessels

43 Atmospheric pressure caused by weight of gas molecules in contact with earth s surface Atmospheric pressure exerted on a surface of water Pressure decreases with altitude Denver, CO at 5,280 ft elevation; 1 atm = 630 torr

44 Water more dense than air 33 ft sea water = 1 atm (760 torr) Pressure at any depth = hydrostatic pressures + atm pressure Depth of 33 ft of H 2 O = 2 atm, or 2 ata At 33 ft H 2 O, 2,112 lbs over each ft 2 of body (33 ft x 64 lbs/ft 3 = 2,112 lbs/ft 2 ) 66 ft H 2 O = 3 ata

45 Indications CHRONIC Nonhealing wounds Refractory osteomyelitis Radiation necrosis

46 Hazards Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy Fire: 50 deaths worldwide in 20 years (1997) Most common FATAL complication Only 100% cotton fabrics in chambers No alcohol/petroleum products No sprays, makeup, deodorant Barotrauma Ear/sinus trauma Tympanic membrane rupture pneumothorax

47 Hazards O 2 Toxicity CNS toxicity (twitching, seizures, convulsions) Pulmonary toxicity (leaky A/C membrane) Other Sudden decompression Reversible visual changes Claustrophobia

48 Hyperbaric Chambers Monoplace transparent Plexiglas cylinder One patient No mask No electric equipment inside 100% oxygen Less expensive than multi-place

49

50

51 Multi-place chambers large tanks able to accommodate 2 14 people achieve pressures up to 6 atm have a chamber lock entry system that allows medical personnel multiplacehyperchamber.jpg to pass through without altering the pressure of the inner chamber allows patients to be directly cared for by staff filled with compressed air; patients breathe 100% oxygen through facemask, head hood, or endotracheal tube.

55 Oxygen Toxicity

56 Oxygen Toxicity Joseph Priestly said in 1775,... it [oxygen] might be peculiarly salutary to the lungs in certain morbid cases... and... oxygen might burn the candle of life too quickly, and too soon exhaust the animal powers within....

57 Oxygen Toxicity Present overview biochemical processes involved in normal cellular utilization of oxygen. Discuss implications in the context of hyperoxia. Explain biochemical role of antioxidants. Describe the pathophysiological aspects of pulmonary oxygen toxicity.

58 Oxygen Toxicity Oxidation: loss of electrons Reduction: gain of electrons Dismutation: same molecular species is oxidized and reduced, and two different entities are formed.
