Although high -pressure oxygen treatment can improve candidates' brain fatigue, there is no rigorous evidence to prove that they can improve their results. The improvement of the test results not only requires a clear mind, but also related to factors such as knowledge reserves and degree of effort. High -pressure oxygen treatment is not the "secret" of the exam.

Every year and July, with the advent of the middle and college entrance examinations and the final exams of the primary and secondary school students, high -pressure oxygen treatment will always be mentioned by many parents. Improve sleep, improve memory, relieve brain fatigue ... High -pressure oxygen treatment in the mouth of parents has become a "secret" of the test.

In order to allow children to receive high -pressure oxygen at any time, some parents even buy home high -pressure oxygen compartment. The reporter saw on a domestic e -commerce platform that there are more than 10 different types of related equipment on sale, ranging from thousands to tens of thousands of yuan.

So, does high -pressure oxygen treatment really help children improve their test results? A reporter from the Science and Technology Daily in response to this issue interviewed relevant experts.

Can increase the content of physical dissolved oxygen in the blood

High -pressure oxygen treatment, as its name implies, refers to a method of inhalinging pure oxygen or high concentration oxygen in a high -pressure oxygen cabin higher than one atmospheric pressure to treat the disease. Zhang Yi, deputy chief physician of the high -pressure oxygen department of Beijing Chaoyang Hospital affiliated to the Capital Medical University, introduced in an interview with a reporter from the Science and Technology Daily that the brain is the most demand for oxygen demand in the human body. %, But its oxygen consumption accounts for 20%to 30%of the total oxygen consumption of the human body.

"There is a saying that" the brain is inseparable from oxygen care ', and the brain is extremely sensitive to hypoxia. "Zhang Yi said that when the human brain has hypoxia symptoms, oxygen is the fastest recovery method. Compared with ordinary oxygen absorbing, the high -pressure oxygen compartment is high in terms of supplementation for the brain.

According to Zhang Yi, there are two forms of oxygen in the blood: one is combined with oxygen, that is, after entering the blood, most of them will be combined with hemoglobin in red blood cells; After blood, it was not combined with hemoglobin in red blood cells, but was dissolved in plasma. Under normal circumstances, the proportion of physical dissolved oxygen in total blood content is very low, and it can be ignored. The human body supply oxygen to various tissues and organs, mainly providing oxygen.

"Ordinary oxygen absorption, that is, the nasal pipe inhalation of the nasal pipes that we usually adopt can only increase the binding oxygen content in the blood, and the degree of improvement is limited." Zhang Yi said, but if in the high -pressure oxygen cabin After 99%of oxygen, not only the content of binding oxygen in the blood increases, but more importantly, the content of physical dissolved oxygen will also increase with the increase of pressure. Even when a certain pressure is reached, it can meet the needs of the body alone by physical dissolving oxygen. Data show that in the high -pressure oxygen cabin, the blood oxygen content in the human body can reach several times or even dozens of times that of oxygen suction under normal pressure. It can be said that high -pressure oxygen treatment has more prominent advantages in improving the hypoxia of the brain.

No rigorous evidence proves that it can improve the results

High -pressure oxygen treatment was first known by the public, thanks to its widely used application in the field of carbon monoxide poisoning. Carbon monoxide has the ability to combine hemoglobin stronger than oxygen. Therefore, when the human body inhale a large amount of carbon dioxide gas, carbon monoxide entering the blood will bind a large amount of hemoglobin, thereby reducing the content of the binding oxygen in the blood, leading to hypoxia symptoms in various tissues and organs of the human body. In severe cases, life can be threatened. With the help of high -pressure and high -concentration of oxygen environments with high -pressure oxygen cabins, it can significantly increase the content of combining oxygen and physical dissolved oxygen in the blood, then supply oxygen to the human body and organ in time, and eventually "drive out" the blood of carbon monoxide.

However, with the significant improvement of people's living standards today, carbon monoxide poisoning incidents caused by coal -fired and other carbon monoxide poisoning are no longer common. High -pressure oxygen treatment starts to serve patients with hypoxia symptoms of the brain and provide recovery treatment for them. The hypoxia of the brain seems to be far from people's daily life, but in fact, for students and office workers who often use high -intensity brain, hypoxia is what they often encounter.

According to Zhang Yi, when people use their brains for a long time and high intensity, they often have symptoms of hypoxia in the brain, mainly including sleeping at night, not easy to fall asleep, dreaming after falling asleep, it is easy to wake up after waking up, and dizziness after waking up, dizziness, and dizziness , Inconsistent attention, slow response, memory and loss of appetite, easy excitement, etc.

As soon as the exam season is the exam, many candidates' parents will consult Zhang Yi, hoping to relieve the symptoms of hypoxia for the child's brain through hypertension treatment to improve the learning state.

Zhang Yi said that the use of high -pressure oxygen treatment to improve the state of brain fatigue of candidates does have a certain scientific basis.

"But it is necessary to point out that not all candidates need high -pressure oxygen treatment, but if candidates do have symptoms of hypoxia and brain fatigue, especially after ordinary oxygen suction cannot be relieved, high -pressure oxygen treatment can be considered." Yi emphasized that children need to be evaluated by professionals before receiving treatment to eliminate the situation that is not suitable for treatment. If there is any discomfort during the treatment process, it is necessary to report it to the staff in a timely manner.

However, Zhang Yi reminded parents that although high -pressure oxygen therapy is helpful to relieve brain fatigue, to prevent and relieve brain fatigue, they cannot rely on high -pressure oxygen treatment. Children should also perform physical exercise appropriately and pay attention to the combination of work and rest. As for whether the treatment of high -pressure oxygen can directly improve the test results, Zhang Yi said that there is no rigorous evidence to prove that it can improve the results. To answer this question, it is necessary to design a large -scale research of science. The improvement of the test results not only requires a clear mind, but also related to factors such as knowledge reserves and degree of effort. High -pressure oxygen treatment is not the "secret" of the exam.

Household equipment cannot reach the need for treatment

In addition to the high -pressure oxygen compartment configured in the hospital, in recent years, related equipment such as home high -pressure oxygen compartment has also appeared on the market. Candidates from the middle and college entrance examinations did not have time to go to the hospital for high -pressure oxygen treatment because they were busy reviewing, and parents purchased relevant home equipment for their children.

"Strictly speaking, these devices cannot be called high -pressure oxygen compartment, which is more suitable for the" micro -pressure oxygen compartment 'or' software oxygen compartment ', because these devices do not meet the pressure of high -pressure oxygen treatment from pressure. Pressure. "Zhang Yi said that the pressure on general household equipment does not exceed 0.3 atmospheric pressure, while the pressure required for hypertension oxygen treatment is usually 1.6 to 2 atmospheric pressure.

"At present, the most widely used micro -oxygen compartment is the plateau area, because the hypoxia of the plateau is mainly caused by low air pressure. For example, the atmospheric pressure in Lhasa, Tibet is 0.65 atmospheric pressure. If it can increase 0.3 atmospheric pressure, it is basically close to the plain In the area, the hypoxia situation of the human body will naturally improve. "Zhang Yi said.

So, is there a difference between a student with hypoxia symptoms of brain hypoxia and other diseased patients?

"When treating high -pressure oxygen treatment for students, the pressure of high -pressure oxygen can be appropriately reduced. For example, keep its pressure on about 1.6 atmospheric pressure, and at the same time slowly increases the possibility of discomfort such as ear pain." Zhang Yi said that Zhang Yi said Essence

In addition, Zhang Yi reminded that children with lung disease with severe lung bubbles and severe emphysema should not be treated with high pressure oxygen. At the same time, children with hypertension should control the blood pressure below 160/100 mm Hg before hypertensive oxygen treatment.

For children without basic diseases, some parents are worried about whether there will be side effects and oxygen poisoning?

Zhang Yi explained that oxygen poisoning refers to the oxygen that suws more than a certain pressure and time, leading to physiological disorders and organs damage. At present, the regular high -pressure oxygen treatment schemes in the hospital are mostly 1.6 to 2 atmospheric pressure, and the oxygen absorption time is 60 minutes and once a day. Theoretically it will not cause oxygen poisoning. However, she still emphasized that before receiving high -pressure oxygen treatment, she had to be diagnosed and evaluated by a professional doctor, and she really needed to be treated.
