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. |
