Xinjiang Hotan military sub district focuses on solving the problem of oxygen consumption at posts above 5000 meters above sea level—— Micro pressure oxygen chamber settled in "cloud post" ■ Zhao Jinshi, PLA Daily reporter Gong Yucong, special reporter Zhang Qiang Plateau defense officers and soldiers experience the use of micro pressure oxygen cabin. Photo by Guo Shuai On the eve of winter, good news came from the astronomical point frontier defense company at an altitude of 5170 meters: a micro pressure oxygen chamber was officially settled in the "cloud post". After the company organized officers and soldiers to experience the use of micro pressure oxygen cabin for the first time, staff sergeant Tan Mengmeng said happily: "this oxygen inhalation experience feels particularly good. An hour and a half of adjustment makes the body more relaxed and energetic!" The first-line defense area of the plateau under Hotan military sub district of Xinjiang is mainly distributed in the Karakoram plateau, with several "cloud outposts" with an altitude of more than 5000 meters. The oxygen content in the air of "yunduan post" is less than 40% of that of the plain, and the annual average temperature is below - 10 ℃, so the natural environment is very bad. In line with the concept of soldiers first and grass-roots first, the Party committee of the sub district of the army focused on the oxygen consumption problems of officers and soldiers on the plateau, and continuously transformed and upgraded the oxygen absorption and consumption facilities on the plateau for 14 consecutive years since 2007. The reporter learned from the combat service planning section of Hotan military sub district that they have successively equipped front-line defense officers and soldiers with bedside oxygen supply equipment, individual oxygenator, portable oxygen respirator and other oxygen facilities. Nowadays, these facilities are normally used in the training and life of officers and soldiers, promoting the expansion of oxygen support "from peacetime to wartime, from camp to field, from fixed to mobile, and from unit to individual", so that officers and soldiers of plateau post can absorb oxygen anytime and anywhere. In mid October this year, under the care of the higher Party committee, Hotan military division took the lead in building a certain type of micro pressure oxygen chamber in the astronomical point border defense company and put it into use. This type of micro pressure oxygen chamber is also known as "plateau oxygen energy storage chamber". The maximum pressure in the chamber is close to the plateau atmospheric pressure at an altitude of 5000 meters. It can be used by 8 people at the same time each time. Through the health care treatment of micro pressure oxygen chamber, it can effectively prevent the cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases of officers and soldiers on high altitude defense, effectively prevent the damage to human body caused by environmental mutation, and effectively reduce the risk of high altitude diseases such as heart failure, hypertension, pulmonary edema and brain edema. Compared with hyperbaric oxygen chamber, micro pressure oxygen chamber is more suitable for health care and treatment of defensive officers and soldiers on duty in plateau environment for a long time, and has opened a new oxygen consumption mode of "health care + treatment" at outposts above 5000 meters above sea level. "Compared with self oxygen inhalation, the intervention and health care of micro pressure oxygen chamber is more controllable, targeted and scientific." Sun Weiqiang, a military doctor of the astronomical point border defense company, told reporters that the defensive officers and soldiers are on high-intensity combat readiness duty on the plateau, which is very easy to suffer from altitude diseases due to hypoxia. The previous convenient oxygen inhalation facilities can only meet the normal needs of the body for oxygen, The pressure of plateau environment on the body organs of defensive officers and soldiers can not be relieved. The micro pressure oxygen chamber can significantly relieve the cardiovascular and cerebrovascular burden of officers and soldiers and effectively reduce the incidence of altitude diseases. In order to better health care and observe the physical conditions of officers and soldiers, sun Weiqiang formulated the micro pressure oxygen health care plan in combination with the actual work of officers and soldiers, and regularly provided health care treatment for officers and soldiers of the whole company. At the same time, he recorded the physical examination data of officers and soldiers before and after health care treatment into the officers and soldiers health registration form to track and observe the health status of officers and soldiers. "The micro pressure oxygen cabin on the mountain is used for health care, and the hyperbaric oxygen cabin under the mountain is used for treatment, and oxygen is taken by oneself at ordinary times." there is a heated discussion on the new mode of oxygen use. The officers and soldiers of the astronomical point border defense company have said that the micro pressure oxygen cabin has settled in the "cloud post", which has warmed the hearts of the plateau defense officers and soldiers. We must live up to our great trust and stand on guard for our motherland! (outlook new era)
