Parsan Healthcare’s HeLox™ is a medical gas mixture of 79% helium and 21% oxygen that allows patients in respiratory distress to breathe more easily. Helium is a rare, chemically and physiologically inert gas that is relatively insoluble in body fluids, more viscous and eight times less dense than oxygen. HeLox™  is typically three times less dense than air and this property allows patients with respiratory conditions to breathe more freely reducing their work of breathing and improving their comfort. Normally, when a breath is taken, the air that is inspired becomes quite turbulent and remains so until it reaches the lower airways. There it goes through a transitional stage, becoming less turbulent and laminar in its flow. When an airway is obstructed or narrowed, turbulent flow is more prominent, increasing the work of breathing which leads to shortness of breath.
Moving a turbulent flow requires greater effort than moving a laminar flow. By using HeLox™, with its lower density, the work of breathing is reduced It is known that molecules diffuse up to four times faster through a helium/oxygen mixture than through an equivalent oxygen/nitrogen mixture (air) . Thus further enhancing alveolar gas delivery and giving better clearance of carbon dioxide (CO2).
