➡️ Heliox
Heliox is a gas mixture composed of helium and oxygen. Helium is present in the lower atmosphere in small quantities (0.0005%), but when mixed with oxygen, it forms a gas mixture with a density nearly six times lower than atmospheric air. This low density and high thermal conductivity make heliox a valuable tool in respiratory medicine. Heliox gas mixtures are known to be non-toxic, non-carcinogenic, and have no lasting effects on any human organs.
➡️ How Does Heliox Work?
The lower density of heliox results in significantly lower turbulence, particularly in the more distal portions of the lung. This effect translates to a greater proportion of laminar flow and lower overall airway resistance. The decreased turbulence effect results in increased flow rates by up to 50% during heliox inhalation. This decreased turbulence remains evident even when airflow is restricted, as in the case of obstructive lung diseases.
➡️ Indications
Heliox has been used in a variety of clinical scenarios, particularly in the management of obstructive airway diseases. Some of the key applications include:
🟦 Airway Obstructions
Heliox was first used in the 1930s to relieve dyspnea in patients with asthma and laryngeal obstruction.
Today, it is used in a variety of conditions that cause airway obstruction, such as acute vocal cord dysfunction, bilateral vocal cord paralysis, and intrinsic endotracheal and endobronchial diseases.
🟦 Croup
Heliox has been used to treat severe croup in children, resulting in significant reductions in croup scores and avoiding the need for intubation.
🟦 Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD)
Heliox has been shown to reduce the work of breathing in patients with COPD, improving exercise performance and reducing dynamic hyperinflation.
🟦 Asthma
Randomized, placebo-controlled studies have shown that heliox can improve clinical asthma scores in children with acute asthma.
🟦 Pneumonia and Other Lower Airway Conditions
Heliox has been used in conditions involving lower airway obstruction, such as pneumonia, bronchiolitis, and cystic fibrosis.
🟦 Heliox Composition
The specific composition of heliox can vary depending on the clinical needs of the patient, but the two most common mixtures are:
🟦 Heliox 80/20
This mixture contains 20% oxygen and 80% helium. It is often used for patients who do not require supplemental oxygen but could benefit from the reduced airway resistance and improved gas exchange that heliox provides.
