Respiratory Therapy FAQs

Learn more about the medical gases and services we offer.

What is respiratory therapy?

Respiratory therapy is a specialized healthcare field focused on diagnosing and treating patients with breathing disorders and cardiopulmonary conditions. Licensed respiratory therapists work alongside physicians to administer treatments that improve breathing function, manage life support systems, and educate patients about chronic respiratory conditions. Using various techniques and medical gases, these professionals provide care in diverse settings including hospitals, rehabilitation centers, home environments, and sleep clinics, serving patients from premature infants to the elderly with both acute interventions and long-term management strategies.

What are the most popular gases used in respiratory therapy?

The most popular gases used in respiratory therapy are oxygen and medical air, which serve as the foundation for most treatments. Oxygen is essential for treating hypoxemia and supporting breathing across numerous conditions, while medical air functions both as primary therapy and oxygen diluent. Helium (in Heliox mixtures) is important for reducing airway resistance in specific conditions. Nitric oxide plays a specialized role in treating pulmonary hypertension, particularly in neonates. Carbon dioxide, nitrous oxide, and nitrogen are used less frequently but remain valuable for specific applications including respiratory stimulation, procedural pain management, and equipment calibration.

What is Heliox and how is it used in respiratory therapy?

Heliox is a specialized mixture of helium and oxygen (typically 60-80% helium, 20-40% oxygen) used in respiratory therapy to reduce work of breathing in patients with airway obstruction. The low density of helium allows gas to flow more easily through narrowed airways, decreasing resistance and improving gas exchange in conditions like severe asthma, croup, and post-extubation stridor. Administered through masks, nasal cannulas, or ventilators, Heliox provides temporary relief while other treatments take effect, often serving as a bridge therapy that may help avoid intubation.

How is the quality of respiratory therapy gases ensured?

The quality of respiratory therapy gases is ensured through strict regulatory standards, regular testing, and certification by medical gas suppliers. Compliance with guidelines set by organizations such as the U.S. Pharmacopeia (USP) and European Pharmacopoeia (Ph. Eur.) is mandatory.

Can I track my gas levels?

Yes. We offer real-time monitoring for most of our gas applications to make sure you never run out. Our solution provides you (and us) with accurate updates on your levels so we can optimize your gas delivery, detect leaks and other issues – saving you money while supporting our sustainability commitments.

Do you offer same-day delivery for medical gases?

Yes. We make true same-day deliveries with no qualifications. If you call at 4:55 pm and you need a same-day delivery, we will deliver that day.

Is it possible to order my medical gases in bulk?

We offer cost-effective bulk gas solutions including bulk oxygen and medical air for medical facilities. Your products will be safely delivered by our modern fleet of fuel-efficient trucks, equipped for cylinder and bulk gas delivery.
