Additional Information for Helium-Oxygen
Helium-oxygen, also known as heliox, is a gas mixture composed of helium and oxygen. It is commonly used in medical and diving applications.
Helium is an inert gas that is lighter than air. It is often used in combination with oxygen to reduce the density of the breathing gas, making it easier to breathe in certain situations. Helium is non-toxic and does not support combustion, which makes it a safe choice for various applications.
Oxygen, on the other hand, is essential for human respiration. It supports combustion and is necessary for the body to function properly. By combining helium with oxygen, the overall density of the gas mixture is reduced, allowing for easier breathing at higher pressures or in environments with reduced oxygen levels.
Heliox is commonly used in medical settings for the treatment of respiratory conditions such as asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), and other lung diseases. It can help improve oxygen delivery to the lungs and alleviate breathing difficulties.
In diving, heliox is used as a breathing gas for deep-sea diving or diving in environments with high pressure, such as in commercial diving or saturation diving. The reduced density of heliox compared to air allows divers to breathe more easily at greater depths.
It's important to note that heliox should only be used under the supervision of trained professionals, as improper use or handling can be dangerous.
