Emergency Medicine Clinics of North America, 2008
Helium-oxygen ("heliox") mixtures have been used for decades in the treatment of various respiratory problems ranging from acute upper airway obstructions to lower airway derangements, such as asthma and exacerbations of chronic bronchitis. This review presents a brief history of helium and helium-oxygen mixtures and their potential clinical uses ...

The Role of Heliox in Paediatric Respiratory Disease
Paediatric Respiratory Reviews, 2010Helium-oxygen (heliox) gas mixtures have been studied for over 70 years as an adjunctive therapy for airway obstruction in a variety of respiratory diseases. The medical use of heliox is based on the physical properties of helium as its low density makes it advantageous in promoting more efficient flow through narrowed passages.

The History and Physics of Heliox
Respiratory Care, 2006Since the discovery of helium in 1868, it has found numerous applications in industry and medicine. Its low density makes helium potentially valuable in respiratory care applications, to reduce work of breathing, improve distribution of ventilation, reduce minute volume requirement, and improve aerosol delivery.

Respiratory Care, 2006
For over 70 years, helium-oxygen mixture (heliox) has been promoted as adjunctive therapy to overcome airflow-obstructive disorders and lesions. In the past 2 decades heliox has gained widespread support in many pediatric emergency departments and intensive care units, in treatment of infants and children with both upper and lower airway obstruction ...
