Sacral Perirenal Oxygen Insufflation - An Embarassing Gas Problem
A uroseptic patient positioned with his derriere kissing the ceiling. A 3 inch spinal needle. Gas under pressure injected to the tune of over a liter. A young resident with the reassuring words, "Don't worry I've done this once before..." What could go wrong?
I cannot imagine a more unpleasant imaging experience than this one from the 1960's. Just imagine feeling as sick as a dog and having someone position you with your buttocks as the highest point of your body and then ram rodding a 3 inch spinal needle into your coccyx. The best is yet to come as over a liter of oxygen is pumped into a place that it certainly does not belong. If you think expelling air post-colonoscopy is uncomfortable, you aint seen nothing yet. The only way to get rid of gas from this procedure is to hope that it absorbs before you suffer a fatal emboli.

Oxygen is a powerful detoxifier and when it is deficient, then toxins begin to devastate the body functions and deplete the body of life giving energy. Initial symptoms of oxygen deficiency may include weakness, fatigue, circulations problems, poor digestion, muscle aches and pains, dizziness, depression, memory loss, irrational behaviour, irritability, acid stomach and bronchial complications. One of oxygen's main function in the body is disintegration; rubble, garbage, toxins, refuse, debris, and any useless substance are destroyed by oxygen and carried out of the system. One can therefore realise the vital importance of oxygen to life. Oxygen sensors
