Abstract
Recently, the hypoxia problem caused by wearing a mask has received more attention. This paper proposes a new solution to solve this problem. That is, changing the breathing pattern. This paper proves that the new breathing mode can increase air intake and activate lung function so that it can exchange air to a greater extent and obtain more oxygen. Then use blood oxygen saturation as an evaluation index of the level of oxygen content in the body to prove its effectiveness. The photoelectric pulse oximeter, which was developed based on the principle of different light absorption by blood, was used to test blood oxygen saturation. The experimental results not only confirm that wearing a mask under high oxygen consumption will cause certain hypoxia but also demonstrate that the new breathing mode can increase the blood oxygen saturation in the body and improve the hypoxia in the body. "Bu" vocal breathing method is a simple and effective breathing method.
