Breathing high concentrations of oxygen at atmospheric pressure has been effective in achieving prompt objective and subjective relief in pneumatosis coli. A 22-year-old man was treated with 40% oxygen--a smaller concentration than used by previous physicians--supplied through a nonrebreathing mask. During meals, oxygen was given at 5 1/minute by nasal cannula. Oxygen therapy was maintained for seven days. A year after treatment the patient was still asymptomatic and free from disease. Using this therapeutic measure the benefit/risk ratio of oxygen therapy could be increased.
在常压下呼吸高浓度氧气已被证明能有效迅速地在结肠积气症中实现客观和主观症状的缓解。一名22岁男性患者接受了40%氧气治疗——这一浓度低于之前医生使用的浓度——通过无重复呼吸面罩提供。用餐期间，通过鼻导管以每分钟5升的速度给予氧气。氧疗持续了七天。治疗一年后，患者仍无症状且未患疾病。采用这种治疗措施可以提高氧疗的效益/风险比。
