Respiratory supporting, as an important medical treatment for new coronavirus pneumonia patients, must be effectively guaranteed by medical oxygen supply. However, the medical oxygen system designed and configured by the existing hospitals according to the current specifications cannot meet the oxygen needs for patients with new coronavirus pneumonia. This paper aimed to study the design of medical oxygen system in new coronavirus pneumonia emergency hospital. By investigating the oxygen treatment plan for the novel coronavirus pneumonia patients in the health emergency hospital, the oxygen treatment characteristics of different patients were studied. The oxygen characteristics of different respiratory support terminals were explored to study the oxygen demands of new coronavirus pneumonia emergency hospitals. Through calculating flow rates of medical gas system air source referring to ‘technical code for medical gases engineering’, the proportion coefficient of severe patients converted into respiratory distress patients was introduced, and the model of calculating flow rates of medical oxygen system air source in emergency hospital was proposed. The cases were verified in a typical health emergency hospital that the developed calculation flow model of medical oxygen source met the demands of hospital oxygen. The outcomes provide a reference for the design and construction of medical oxygen in such health emergency hospitals.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
