Abstract
Objective To explore the feasibility and safety of early oxygen atomizing inhalation with oxygen mask on correction of hypoxemia of patients with severe head injury in order to promote the early recov-ery of patients. Methods 98 cases of patients with severe head injury were randomly divided into the obser-vation group(48 cases) and the control group(50 cases), the observation group received conventional treatment as well as oxygen atomizing inhalation with oxygen mask, the control group used nasal catheter with wet gauze covering mouth and nose for oxygen supply. Results The arterial oxygen saturation rate, partial pressure of oxygen markedly improved in the observation group. Significant difference existed in mortality rate between the two groups, while no significant difference was seen in heart rate, blood pressure, pH and PaCO2 between the two groups. Conclusions Oxygen atomizing inhalation with oxygen mask can quickly and effectively correct the hypoxic state and correct hypoxemia of patients with severe head injury. Key words: Severe head injury; Hypoxemia; Oxygen therapy
