Some people with respiratory problems naturally don't get enough oxygen. They may need supplemental oxygen or oxygen therapy. People receiving oxygen therapy usually improve energy levels and sleep, and improve quality of life. Oxygen therapy is prescribed for people who cannot get enough oxygen on their own. This is usually caused by lung disease that prevents the lungs from absorbing oxygen, including:

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD)
pneumonia
asthma
Bronchopulmonary dysplasia, neonatal lung hypoplasia
heart failure
Cystic fibrosis
sleep apnea
Lung disease
Respiratory trauma


Normal arterial blood oxygen levels are between 75 and 100 mmHg (millimeters of mercury). An oxygen level of 60 mmHg or less indicates the need for supplemental oxygen. Excessive oxygen can also be dangerous and can damage cells in the lungs. Your oxygen content should not exceed 110 mmHg.



To determine if a person would benefit from oxygen therapy, doctors tested the amount of oxygen in their arterial blood. Another test is the use of a pulse oximeter, which indirectly measures oxygen levels or saturation without a blood sample. The pulse oximeter can be clamped on a part of the human body like a finger. Low levels mean that a person may be a good candidate for supplemental oxygen.


Some people always need oxygen therapy, while others only need it occasionally or in some cases. Some oxygen therapies are performed in a doctor's office, while other times people have an oxygen supply or a portable oxygen system at home.


What are the symptoms of hypoxia?
When you do n’t get enough oxygen, you experience many symptoms, including:

Rapid breathing
Shortness of breath
Fast heart rate
Cough or wheeze
Sweating
confusion
Complexion change
If you experience any of these symptoms, consult a doctor immediately.


What are the different types of oxygen therapy?
Many different types of oxygen therapy are available. These include:

oxygen
Liquid oxygen
Oxygen concentrator
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy

oxygen
Oxygen can be stored in a portable storage tank. These are called compressed gas systems. Larger fixed concentrators are used inside the house, and smaller oxygen tanks can be used outside the house. Smaller water tanks can be used with oxygen preservation equipment so that the oxygen supply lasts longer. Oxygen is delivered in pulses rather than continuously.

Liquid oxygen
Liquid oxygen can also be stored in portable tanks. The concentration of liquid oxygen is higher, so smaller tanks can hold more oxygen. This is very helpful for very active people, but it will evaporate if not used in time. These water tanks are refillable.

Both liquid oxygen and oxygen can be delivered to your door in many places.

Oxygen concentrator
The oxygen concentrator is less portable than other options. An oxygen concentrator is a device that absorbs oxygen from a room, condenses it for therapeutic purposes, and removes other natural gas. The advantage of a concentrator is that it is cheap and does not need to be filled like a storage tank. A portable version is available. However, most models are too large to really carry.

Oxygen is distributed from storage tanks through pipes. It enters the lungs through a nasal tube, a mask, or a tube that is inserted directly into a person's trachea.

Hyperbaric oxygen therapy
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy is different from other oxygen therapies. People will inhale pure oxygen in a pressurized room or room. In the hyperbaric chamber, the pressure increases to three to four times the normal pressure level. This increases the amount of oxygen delivered to human tissue. This type of oxygen delivery is often used to treat wounds, severe infections, or air bubbles in blood vessels. Hyperbaric therapy should be performed with caution to avoid high blood oxygen levels.

Shipping method
The most common delivery method is a nasal cannula, which consists of a tube that passes through two nostrils. Other delivery methods include:

Non-respiratory mask
Incubator (for babies)
Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP)

What are the benefits of oxygen therapy?
Whatever the reason, oxygen therapy is extremely beneficial for people who often experience low oxygen levels. If needed, regular use of oxygen therapy can help people become more active and active by reducing shortness of breath. It can also significantly improve quality of life and, in many cases, extend life expectancy.

Oxygen therapy can also reduce the following symptoms:

headache
irritability
fatigue
Ankle swelling
Oxygen therapy can help children with chronic lung disease grow and develop. It can also reduce symptoms such as headaches, behavior changes, or problems caused by lack of oxygen.
