[Oxygen-transporting function of the blood following general air cryogenic therapy]
Abstract:
The present clinical and laboratory study of the effects of general air cryogenic therapy on the characteristics of blood supply included practically healthy subjects. The study has demonstrate that dosed cold stress promotes adaptive capacities of the organism by modulating the oxygen-transporting function of the blood that in its turn stimulates the adaptive mechanisms and leads to decoupling tissue respiration. It is concluded that general air cryogenic therapy can be recommended as an instrument for the improvement of endurance of and resistibility to the action of hypoxemia in special groups of people under the low temperature conditions.

Respiration and Gaseous Exchange
Respiration involves the exchange of gases, especially oxygen (O2) and carbon dioxide (CO2), between the alveoli and body cells, a process facilitated by blood circulation. As a result, the cardiovascular system, which involves the...

Oxygen Delivering System II: Venturi Mask and Transtracheal Oxygen
Venturi Mask
The Venturi mask, named after the Venturi effect, is designed to deliver precise oxygen concentrations. It consists of a large tube with an oxygen inlet that narrows down, causing a pressure drop that pulls air in through adjustable side ports. The mask is a lightweight,...

Forms of CO2 Transport
1. Dissolved in plasma: A small percentage (7-10%) of CO2 is transported and dissolved directly in the plasma.
2. Carbaminohemoglobin: Just over 20% of CO2 is chemically bound to...
