Home Oxygen Therapy
Home Oxygen Therapy is a medical treatment that provides supplemental oxygen to individuals with breathing difficulties. It is commonly prescribed for patients with conditions like chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), asthma, or pulmonary fibrosis. The therapy helps improve oxygen levels in the blood, enhancing overall health and quality of life.
Patients typically receive oxygen through a nasal cannula or oxygen mask, which connects to an oxygen tank or concentrator. This therapy can be used during daily activities, including sleeping, to ensure that the body receives adequate oxygen. Regular monitoring by healthcare professionals is essential to adjust the treatment as needed.
