Oxygen Therapy, also known as supplemental oxygen, helps people with lung diseases or breathing problems get the oxygen their bodies need to function.
As we breathe, oxygen from the inhaled air moves from lungs to the bloodstream. The oxygen reaches every organ tissue through the bloodstream and supplies the required energy for the organs to function effectively. If the lungs are damaged due to any diseases, their ability to supply the required oxygen to the body organs is compromised, warranting supplemental oxygen. Breathing in air with added oxygen increases the level of oxygen in the blood. This helps to reduce symptoms such as breathlessness and can make day-to-day easier to manage.
