[…] Here’s another interesting post I read today by The FredCast Cycling Podcast […]
The data analysis on a recent episode of Tri-Talk supports what you found with the Oxy2Go — apparently there is a placebo affect, but no real benefit.
Thanks for the great podcast.
Just listened to your FredCast (yes, I know it’s a little late).
Unless you have blood gas measurement or something like a pulse oximiter hooked up to your finger to measure the oxygen saturation in your blood, it’s difficult to assess wether the Oxy2Go would have any effect, which I’d be willing to bet doesn’t do anything for you.
If were breathing *continuous* oxygen at, say x liters/minute as you might see some old people doing then it MAY raise your oxygen saturation in your blood. The reason I say MAY is because there is an upper limit to the amount of oxygen your healthy lungs can suck out of the air and dump into your RBC’s in that short period of time your RBC’s are letting go of CO2 and catching O2. Healthy lungs will see little increase in oxygen saturation at 100% O2 unless you’re breathing it in at an appreciable rate. During surgery, anestheiologists don’t usually give you 100% O2.
FYI – I *am* a medical doctor 🙂
