Talk:Oxygen bar - Knowledge

flow" argues one clinical psychologist, "and a bottleneck effect may occur as the remainder of the muscles have more weight to carry, thus a bottleneck effect may occur that puts the hemoglobine under pressure and releases all the oxygen when blood flows past the obstructed area releasing the oxygen from the red blood cells." Accoarding to the specialist, the addition of supplement oxygen in autism patients may negate the effects of oxygen deficiëncies, wich include less oxygen for the production of adenosine triphosphate in braincell tissue. "Rigid behaviour patterns can´t stay out," explains the klinical psychologist, as the cells involved oftenly discontinue and disrupt their activities to protect against overheating, "braintissue goes to sleep mode to preserve itself from too much stress".

1775:. A single, uncontrolled, unblinded study of 18 individuals is a very long way short of what is required to support a medical claim that runs so counter to accepted knowledge. I don't think anybody can seriously contend that blood is normally carrying any less than 95% of its capacity of oxygen in any healthy individual, so you're mistaken to suggest that the study refutes that. Put simply, there is no evidence whatsoever than any healthy individual gains any benefit whatsoever from breathing air with oxygen fractions between 30% and 35% (which is what they typically get in an oxygen bar). The only exception to that is the potential benefit of 1040:

Even so, the fraction of O2 delivered via nasal cannula will vary considerably with the cannula, its fitting and the flow rate. Clearly, nobody will be receiving less than 21% O2, so I wouldn't be surprised if "around 30%-35%" is likely. However, the possibility of the customer deliberately blocking atmospheric ingress (to avoid being "ripped-off") can't be discounted, which leads to the possibility of even higher FO2 occurring. As we are only certain that the lower possible limit for pulmonary toxicity is about 0.3 bar (see

that the flavored water causes lung problems. In the type of atomosphere these things are in, it is highly unlikely - and even the FDA conceeds this - that too much oxygen will be inhaled. They have really not stated a lot about the use of scents except that perhaps further studies are needed. And of course, the scents aren't even mandatory - many use them just for further relaxation or for 'proof' that they truely are getting oxygen and are not merely being taken for a ride.

breathe was over 38%". If folks believe such utter rubbish as that, they will probably also believe the other nonsense (e.g. oxygen "helps you rave all night long" and "counteracts the effects of ageing", etc.) When scuba diving, I regularly breathe oxygen at much higher partial pressures than those encountered in oxygen bars and I can assure you that it doesn't make you feel anything. Nevertheless, it is well-known that subjects often experience a given effect because they are

1349:"Minor usage of oxygen supplements, of say, a few inhalations per our, would be prepherable to the current treatments for ADD wich is low dosage of amphetamine, wich increases the oxygen intake of the cells. Having less oxygen to begin with however, means that the dosage is oftenly increased to maintain the desired effects, leading up to a full blown addiction oftenly seen in the schoolyards of the US and the EU, where rythalin is solld to fellow pupills as a drug.." 1020:

the levels of oxygen in the blood and not by the levels of Carbon Dioxide as in non-COPD people. EMS, when responding to COPD calls seldom deliver oxygen over 25% to the patient. And this is done by professionals and the COPD patient is never left alone but is under constant observation. A COPD person walking in to an Oxygen Bar should not suddenly start sniffing higher percentages of oxygen. I feel that the article should cover this instead of Oxygen Toxicity.

879:(along with any references to where the information came from). If you find creating references difficult (and most newcomers do), just make a note on the talk page here of the url and the information you are referring to and I or someone else will create the reference for you. The same applies for the bullet-pointed list you inserted earlier: make it into good prose if you can and give a reference for its source. 169: 151: 22: 1081:), it would seem to be prudent to consider the risk of pulmonary toxicity, given an unknown FO2, even if that risk is slight. Perhaps you can cite a reliable source that would show that risk to be negligible, given the fact that O2 is delivered in an unmonitored way? If so, it would be a worthwhile amendment to the article, to be able to say there is no risk of pulmonary oxygen toxicity. 81: 545: 867:

there and I’m simply trying to set the record straight. So please teach me what you would like me to do I’m simply trying to get the proper word out on the subject. Not promoting our company or any others at all unlike the article that was there before. A lot of that information was outdated and no longer relevant. Thank for the help ;-)

1158:

cannot simply use our own experience or synthesise conclusions beyond what our sources say. As we don't know the highest possible FO2 deliverable, nor do we know the maximum time that customers are allowed, I seriously doubt whether we are able to give the reader all the information they actually need to make a decision. --

890:). It's a rule that applies to all article content. To take an example: If you add "Benefits of oxygen: Heightens concentration, alertness and memory", anyone could ask "How can I tell the statement is true?". You give a reference to a book, a journal or a website (one that is recognised as reliable) that shows it is true. 1555:

1039:

I'm fairly sure that I've read a manufacturer talk about delivering around 90% O2, so I'd agree with your figure for medical concentrators, but I need to find the source again to verify that. I also have seen a figure of "about 32%" for delivery via nasal cannula, but again I'd need to check sources.

1011:

Nasal Cannula can deliver between 20 and 40% oxygen to the user based on the purity of the supply. With medical oxygen being 100% (practically), this directly translates to 20-40% oxygen to the user. However if the industrial concentrator only concentrates to 75% oxygen (with 25% other gases) than

Likewise... It's better to be safe than sorry. It's a lot better that taking precautions on things with no medical background than to simply overdose on such.

In the article concerning "Oxygen Bars" there is a statment that the flavored water used to scent the oxygen CAN damage the lungs and cause inflammation etc. Unfortunately this is not correct. It has NOT yet been proven in any way shape or form that the scented water causes any ailments to the lung

1311:

I can see no justification for linking such commonly understood major geographic features as "Tokyo", "Beijing", "North America", "Canada", "New York", "Florida", etc. - as none of those articles are "particularly relevant to the topic of the article". The link of 1966 is expressly against community

Someone has added information about state inspections, although it needs to be remembered that only applies in the USA, so I'll try to find out what the position is elsewhere.

It would be useful to have a source that illustrated the dangers of respiratory acidosis and we would need a source to verify the 25% FO2 you mention when EMS respond to a COPD call. 999:

No where in the article does it mention what percentage of oxygen is being provided by these businesses. There is some discussion on the health risks, including oxygen toxicity. We can't have a valid discussion on the health risks unless we understand how much oxygen is being delivered and for how

I would suggest that changes to the article should be discussed here - or at the very least should contain edit summaries that explain the reason for

866:

Hello all, I’m new to Knowledge, however I am an expert on the subject Oxygen Bar for about 8 years now. The old article is very biased towards one company and was probably written by them. I play fair and just want the truth about Oxygen bars to be known. There is a lot of incorrect information out

is very real, and occurs far too often. Even the decreased moisture can be dangerous; think of all the people who get nosebleeds every time they fly in an airplane, and that's without having the oxygen blown directly into their noses. RexxS's recent edits convey the primary message quite succinctly.

227:

As it stands now, it is only a theory pushed by opponents of this type of 'therapy'. While I myself am not a huge fan of Oxygen Bars - stating without proof that the scents can cause lung ailments is bad science and faith. Most complainants are unfounded - such as too much oxygen will be inhaled or

and checking out the linked study. The section on claimed benefits in the article seems very negative, and the statement that blood is fully saturated at 21% and more oxygen cannot have an effect is directly refuted by that study & it's references. I don't have access to more than the summaries

923:

I'd love to see the article improved, but taking out statements that have reliable sources that back them up is unlikely to do that. Why not read through all of the sources you can find (and the two I've given here and in my comment above), pick out the important points and write something into the

Surely the article should say a lot more about oxygen bars (or whatever they are called there) in Japan, which as I understand it are rather older than the 1990s and are not associated with nightclubs; they are used during the day and are more for people wanting respite from the pollution in Tokyo.

1426:

Trying to ascertain why people use oxygen bars, one can only presume that people believe the hype put out by the vendors of oxygen bars. I won't dignify the site with a link, but you can search Google and quite quickly find a website that claims that "300 years ago the Oxygen content in the air we

One health risk that was not listed in the article needs to be listed. Customers suffering from COPD should NOT go to Oxygen Bars and use the oxygen machines. People with long term COPD develop what is called a Hypoxic Drive where, due to their condition, their breathing patterns are governed by

Following the recent round of edit-warring, I've rewritten part of the section to make it clear that the concern is mainly pulmonary toxicity, which (although unlikely) can occur at atmospheric pressure - and I've cited it to help understanding. Perhaps this will be acceptable? If not, please feel

You will need to remember that Knowledge is an encyclopedia, so a certain style of writing is expected. For example, a Question and Answer section is unlikely to be found in a paper encyclopedia, and is unlikely to be accepted here. You should try to summarise the points as good prose and use that

It's rather ironic that Oxygen bars in nightclubs claim that their practices are "healthy". After all, if one were truly concerned about health, one wouldn't go to a nightclub. With the noise pollution, air pollution (smoke), and tons of alcohol consumed (although that's a pesonal choice) claiming

One additional piece of information that is missing from the main article pertains to how long are customers of Oxygen Bars using Oxygen? That is an important piece of data when trying to identify the health risks of Oxygen. At a Dollar a minute (which I think the article states, it is doubtful

and remarked at the time that it could use considerable amount of work. I totally agree that it's best to find good sources first and write the article from them, but that's not how I found the article. It's a pity that the subject gets so much "hype" as it means you have to wade through pages of

and the anon IPs want to advertise Oxygen bars, I'd suggest they get their own website. If they are interested in improving this article, I'd suggest they discuss it here. To start off, I'll offer this: for each reliable citation they find to support the material they insert, I'll find a reliable

1023:

I think it is important for the article to have more scientific information in addition to the cultural information. To me, the purpose of the article should be to give the reader all the information they need in order to decide for themselves whether an Oxygen bar is a good thing, a rip-off, a

Now, if I put back the statement "The FDA has warned against the use of industrial generators, as they do not have the proper filtration, and high concentrations may cause difficulties in breathing for some people with medical conditions." and you say "How can I tell it is true?", I include this

1157:

I'm very sympathetic to adding more scientific information to this article. The problem I've found with that is that there don't seem to be many studies addressing this setting (or none that I could find anyway) and so we're left with a pronouncement from the FDA and the UK HSA's guidelines. We

The health concerns listed in the article are incomplete and list health issues that are unrealistic. Oxygen Toxicity and the condition known as Atelectasis (shrinking of the Alveoli) are serious health issues but one very unlikely to be run across in an oxygen bar. The customer would have to

1007:

The limiting factor is the delivery system. The article references the use of Nasal Cannula. It would be helpful for information about the flow rates of Nasal Cannula be added to the article. Nasal Cannula can deliver gas at 1-6 litres per minute. Delivery at 6 LPM can be uncomfortable so I

596:

On that one link to that company's site, they say that just 200 years ago, the %02 was at 40% in our atmosphere. Is this factual in any shape or form? It dosnt have a great deal to do with this article, but I could not find anywheres else where it listed what our o2% was since the start of the

the smell itself ( No additives, protectants, preservatives ), you cannot deem the safety of such use in mind. So I think that this part should be in there. I could make a bar where eating grass is good, and since there are no "research" on it, say that there's no way that it could harm me...

breath high levels of oxygen (higher than a Nasal Cannula can deliver) for long periods of time (many many hours) before these two conditions will start to appear. Oxygen Toxicity and Atelectasis are normally found in hospitals where patients are undergoing long term medical Oxygen Therapy.

232:

Actually, there is some rationale for this claim. The scents used in oxygen bars work on the same principle as, say, car air fresheners, which have been demonstrated to be harmful with excessive exposure: they give off oils which saturates the lining of the nasal tract. I'm not saying this is

1176:

I used my old text book "Brady Emergency Care" and specifically Chapter 6 Oxygen Therapy for the information on the Nasal Cannula and how Oxygen Toxicity and Atelectasis both require high concentrations of Oxygen for long periods of time. For both conditions, the text states that in the EMS

a Nasal Cannula delivers less oxygen. This is one of the reasons people think that Oxygen Bars are a rip off. Using a Crappy concentrator can give the customer no more oxygen then they can normally get for free.
