Oxygen
is essential to human life, and when the human
body doesn’t have enough oxygen in the
bloodstream, home oxygen therapy become
essential in the form of an oxygen concentrator
or a portable oxygen system.
Just
as gas or petrol fuels a vehicle to keep it
running, oxygen travels to the respiratory
system’s hub of organs and tissues to energize
the airways and the lungs. The airways are inlet
conduits for oxygen-rich air to enter the lungs
and be absorbed into the bloodstream as it makes
its way to the heart. Carbon dioxide uses the
same paths to exit the body.
However,
for some individuals, certain chronic conditions
and illnesses restrict these pathways and
prevent them from getting ample amounts of
oxygen into the blood. To increase the amount of
oxygen in the bloodstream and improve the
lungs’ overall function, doctors typically
will prescribe supplemental oxygen therapy.
Medical
oxygen can help you breathe better, feel better,
sleep better, be more active, and enjoy a better
quality of life. |
