除了氧气，其他几种气体，如NO、CO、H2、H2S、H2O和O3在过去几年中也逐渐老化。关于O3，在过去的二十年中，其在医学中的作用机制已经得到澄清，因此现在有一个全面的框架来理解和推荐各种病理学中的臭氧治疗。在确定的治疗窗口内使用O3是绝对安全的，并且在许多病理学中比金标准药物更有效，如血管疾病。然而，臭氧治疗主要是在从业者的手中，最近的一些发展，以提高成本效益和速度的治疗既不标准化，也没有评估毒理学。因此，本文的目的是强调需要客观地评估氧气/臭氧作为医用气体混合物的利弊，希望臭氧治疗在不久的将来会被正统医学所接受。
Besides oxygen, several other gases such as NO, CO, H2, H2S, Xe and O3 have come to age over the past few years. With regards to O3, its mechanisms of action in medicine have been clarified during the last two decades so that now a comprehensive framework for understanding and recommending ozone therapy in various pathologies is available. O3 used within the determined therapeutic window is absolutely safe and more effective than golden standard medications in numerous pathologies, like vascular diseases. However, ozone therapy is mostly in practitioners' hands and some recent developments for increasing cost effectiveness and speed of treatment are neither standardized, nor evaluated toxicologically. Hence, the aim of this article is to emphasize the need to objectively assess the pros and cons of oxygen/ozone as a medical gas mixture in the hope that ozone therapy will be accepted by orthodox medicine in the near future.
