Mechanism of action

This gas mixture delivers therapeutic oxygen to tissues while the nitrogen component dilutes the oxygen concentration, reducing the risk of oxygen toxicity and absorption atelectasis. It is commonly used in medical settings where controlled oxygenation is needed without the risks associated with high-concentration pure oxygen therapy.
