Can high -pressure oxygen treatment improve results?Is it "IQ Tax"?

In June and July each year, 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 candidates' parents at this time. Improving sleep, enhancement of memory, and relieving brain fatigue ... High -pressure oxygen treatment in the mouth of parents seems to solve many problems of candidates, and it is even considered a "test artifact".

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

So, in order to improve the grades, can healthy children suck high pressure oxygen? Can the household high -pressure oxygen cabin be used for children? In response to the above issues, the reporter interviewed relevant experts.

It can greatly increase the 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 affiliated to the Beijing Chaoyang Hospital of the Capital Medical University, introduced in an interview with a reporter that the brain is the most demand for oxygen demand in the human body. However, 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 appears hypoxic symptoms, as a treatment measure for the right medicine, oxygen supplementation is to quickly restore it. A good way. Compared with ordinary oxygen, high -pressure oxygen is "highly technical" in terms of brain supplementation.

According to Zhang Yi, there are two types of transportation in the blood:

One is to combine oxygen, that is, after entering the blood, most of them will be combined with hemoglobin in red blood cells;

Another form of transportation is physical dissolving oxygen, that is, after the oxygen enters the blood, it is not combined with hemoglobin in red blood cells, but is dissolved in the 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 depends on 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 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 a high -pressure oxygen environment, the blood oxygen content in the human body can reach several times the oxygen absorption under normal pressure. It can be said that high -pressure oxygen treatment has more prominent advantages in improving the hypoxia of the brain.

Scientific evidence that has no improvement of grades

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 oxygen high -pressure and high -concentration oxygen environment, it can significantly improve the content of binding oxygen and physical dissolved oxygen in the blood, then supply oxygen to the tissue organs of the human body in a timely manner, and eventually "drive out" the blood of carbon monoxide.

However, with the significant improvement of people's living standards today, incidents of carbon monoxide poisoning caused by coal -fired and other carbon monoxide poisoning are no longer common. High -pressure oxygen treatment has begun to be applied to patients with hypoxia symptoms of the brain and provides 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. They hope to perform high -pressure oxygen treatment to alleviate the symptoms of hypoxia for children's brain to improve their learning status.

Zhang Yi said that the use of high -pressure oxygen to improve candidates' brain fatigue state does have a certain scientific basis. When people receive high -pressure oxygen treatment, their blood oxygen content can increase to more than ten times the usual usual, and the oxygen content of brain tissue can increase, which will help the metabolism of brain tissue and improve brain function.

In addition, the three studies quoted by Zhang Yi's brain fatigue on high -pressure oxygen treatment candidates showed that among the 304 college entrance examinations participating in the research, the earliest from 20 days before the examination was received for treatment, and the latest 3 days before the exam. Compared with students who have not been treated, most candidates reflect that they have a concentrated energy and clear mind after high -pressure oxygen treatment.

However, Zhang Yi reminded parents that although high -pressure oxygen treatment can help relieve brain fatigue, to prevent and relieve brain fatigue, they cannot rely entirely on high -pressure oxygen. 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 that it can 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 talent and degree of effort. High -pressure oxygen is not a "universal medicine" to improve the results. After evaluation, it is really necessary to "suck"

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. Some middle -aged and college entrance examination candidates did not have time to go to the hospital to "suck" high -voltage oxygen 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 increase in the pressure of the general micro -pressure compartment does not exceed 0.3 atmospheric pressure, and the pressure required for hypertensive oxygen treatment is usually increased by 0.6 to 1.5 atmospheric pressure on the basis of atmospheric pressure.

"At present, the most widely used in micro -pressure oxygen compartment is the plateau area, because the hypox of the plateau is mainly due to low 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 area. The hypoxia situation of the human body is naturally improved. "Zhang Yi said that the micro -pressure oxygen compartment is usually mainly used for health and rehabilitation of patients such as insomnia, cerebrovascular disease. As for the effect of candidates, there are currently no large -scale research reports, and parents in need should also take their children to the hospital for treatment.

So, is there a difference between candidates' high -pressure oxygen treatment schemes from other patients? "You can appropriately reduce the treatment pressure of the high -pressure oxygen cabin. If you take too much candidate, you can consider the inhalation of oxygen when you enter the cabin.

"It should be pointed 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." Zhang Yi Zhang Yi. It is emphasized that children need to be evaluated by high -pressure oxygen professionals before receiving treatment to exclude unsuitable situations. If they are unwell during the treatment process, they need to be reported to the staff in time.

In addition, Zhang Yi reminded children with lung diseases such as lung bubbles and severe emphysema, which should not be treated with high pressure oxygen. 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 inhalation of more pressure and time oxygen can lead to physiological disorders and organs damage. At present, the regular high-pressure oxygen treatment schemes in the hospital are mostly 1.6-2 atmospheric pressure and oxygen inhalation time is 60 minutes and once a day. Theoretically, oxygen poisoning 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.

"Actually, the most side effects of high -pressure oxygen professionals are the most side effects of the middle ear qi, just like we may have ear pain when the plane landed. The pressure of the high -pressure oxygen tank increases the pressure. Wait) to avoid imbalance in the pressure on both sides of the tympanic membrane. Once the eustachian tube is not smooth, such as a cold and nasal congestion, it is prone to discomfort such as ear pain. At this time, you cannot enter the cabin. "Zhang Yi said.
