ly that would make the micro blood vessels contract which is the last thing you need if you are trying to get more oxygeb to the heart. I know the oxygen comes from liquid which turns to gas as it hits room temperature but surely someone could come up with a way of delivering it at room temperature?
(Am I making sense here?

Any gas including oxygen becomes dilute or thin if heated. Hot oxygen contains less oxygen for a given volume. Oxygen at room temperatures gets into lungs and attains body temperature before absorption into blood . Oxygen cylinders contain oxygen in liquid form because of very high pressure. A hot liquid oxygen does not exist. .

I was taken in for a minor heart attack a few months ago and given oxygen because i couldn't breathe with the pain and i was a nasty blue colour. I was kept on oxygen until given strong pain killers, had my ECG and after that and while tied to an ECG machine for 4 days and nights, given oxygen at night.
I felt a lot better for it

The oxygen is warmed in the respiratory passages before it reaches the surface of the alveoli in the lungs where it is absorbed.
