Heliox 280 Helium–oxygen (heliox) mixtures were first described in the 1930s for the management of respiratory emergencies. In the last 20 years heliox has gained more widespread use. It has a role in the temporary management of upper airway obstruction and there is renewed interest in its use in acute asthma and COPD in both spontaneously breathing and mechanically ventilated patients....
