| oxygen tent | A transparent enclosure, suspended over the bed and enclosing the patient, used to supply a high concentration of oxygen. (05 Mar 2000) |
| oxygen therapy | Treatment in which an increased concentration of oxygen is made available for breathing, through a nasal catheter, tent, chamber, or mask. (05 Mar 2000) |
| oxygen toxicity | A body disturbance resulting from breathing high partial pressures of oxygen; characterised by visual and hearing abnormalities, unusual fatigue while breathing, muscular twitching, anxiety, confusion, incoordination, and convulsions; although the mechanism for development of the condition is obscure, a disruption of enzymatic activity is likely, perhaps as a result of free radical formation. Synonym: oxygen poisoning. (05 Mar 2000) |
| oxygen utilization coefficient | The extraction coefficient for oxygen in any given tissue. (05 Mar 2000) |
| lactacid oxygen debt | That part of an oxygen debt represented by the production of lactic acid by anaerobic glycolysis during exercise and, therefore, by the need to eliminate it by oxidative metabolism during recovery. (05 Mar 2000) |
