Medicinal oxygen, is widely used in hospitals, in surgeries, as part of resuscitation, and in peri-operative patient care.
In hospital and clinical care, CONOXIA® is used in the following ways:

• ● To treat hypoxia and hypoxaemia.
• ● During surgery to maintain tissue oxygenation under anaesthesia, as well as pre-operative and post-operative uses on the ward.
• ● As part of resuscitation.
• ● In mechanical lung ventilation for the treatment of respiratory depression.
• ● In the treatment of diseases such as chronic obstructive lung disease (COPD), pneumoconiosis, pneumonia, heart attack and pulmonary embolism.
• ● To treat respiratory distress syndrome in newborns.
• ● In the treatment of respiratory burns and as part of the gold standard of care for carbon monoxide poisoning.
• ● Because managing oxygen brings many challenges unique to each hospital, we’ll work closely with you to find the solutions that best meet your requirements. We can provide the expertise, training and support needed to ensure that the oxygen is delivered accurately and safely, every time needed.

Medicinal nitrous oxide has a long record of clinical use.
NIONTIX®, medicinal nitrous oxide, is used as an anaesthetic and analgesic agent:

• ● It can be combined with clinically used hypnotics, analgesics, and anaesthetics.
• ● It acts synergistically when combined with other inhaled or intravenous anaesthetic agents.
• ● It has little effect on respiration and circulation during anaesthesia. Spontaneous breathing is relatively better preserved using the combination of medicinal nitrous oxide and any of the commonly used inhaled anaesthetics than when using a potent inhaled anaesthetic alone.
• ● Its rapid ‘wash-in’ (uptake) and ‘wash-out’ (fast elimination) together with its ability to maintain spontaneous respiration allow faster emergence when used with a modern inhaled anaesthetic than when the anaesthetic is used alone.

With fast onset and offset for analgesia or sedation, medicinal nitrous oxide/oxygen mixture is used throughout hospitals and clinics.
LIVOPAN®, medicinal nitrous oxide/oxygen mixture, is used in paediatrics, obstetrics, and for procedural pain. The low solubility of nitrous oxide in biological tissue and fluid means, in clinical practice, that medicinal nitrous oxide/oxygen mixture provide rapid pain relief and elimination of the gas from the lungs. A further safety feature is the composition of LIVOPAN consisting of 50% nitrous oxide and oxygen to prevent hypoxia during administration.
LIVOPAN is administered by inhalation, so there is no need to insert a cannula or set up an intravenous line. This means that this form of analgesia/sedation does not need to be administered by a specialist anaesthetist, but can be administered by trained staff such.

AIRAPY, medicinal air, is essential in hospitals, especially in the treatment of respiratory diseases. In hospitals, medicinal air is used mainly for ventilation and aerosol therapy and during anaesthesia:

• ● When treating respiratory diseases such as asthma and COPD, an effective way of delivering drug treatment is to direct it straight to the lungs by inhalation. Nebulisers are used to administer inhaled medication to patients who cannot use conventional inhalers. Medicinal air may be used to drive the drug treatment air to the nebuliser where liquid medication is converted to a mist that can be inhaled.
• ● Medicinal air is used as a carrier gas for narcotic substances in inhalational anaesthesia. It may also be used with nitric oxide as a substitute for supplemental oxygen to reduce the high concentration of oxygen exposure.
• ● Some patients are dependent on a reliable, high quality supply of medicinal air to protect their delicate and sensitive respiratory systems.

INOmax Therapy in Hospitals and Clinics - The therapeutic use of inhaled nitric oxide is based on its ability to achieve potent and sustained pulmonary vasodilation, without significantly decreasing systemic vascular tone.
Linde Healthcare has developed a complete solution, INOmax® Therapy, for the delivery of inhaled nitric oxide. Our solution integrates a dedicated system for administration, gas calibration, treatment recording, customer training and service support to ensure the most effective results with maximum patient safety. The delivery device, INOvent®, fits every sort of ventilatory support mode and enables constant monitoring of delivered nitric oxide, oxygen and nitrogen dioxide.
In conjunction with ventilatory support and other appropriate agents, INOmax is indicated for the treatment of newborns ≥ 34 weeks gestation with hypoxic respiratory failure associated with clinical or echocardiographic evidence of pulmonary hypertension, in order to improve oxygenation and to reduce the need for extracorporeal membrane oxygenation.
