Oxygen Therapy

Oxygen therapy session at Manipal Hospital Malleshwaram for a patient with chronic respiratory illness

Supplementary oxygen remains vital for individuals whose lungs fail to transfer enough oxygen to the bloodstream because of COPD, interstitial lung disease, or severe respiratory failure. The therapy aims to reach appropriate oxygen levels to stop hypoxia from causing damage to organs. Your oxygen treatment method depends on your needs and will be a nasal cannula, face mask, or a high-flow oxygen delivery system. Oxygen therapy serves two different purposes. Long-term usage is needed for chronic respiratory failure, but short-term application is appropriate for acute illnesses. 

Oxygen therapy starts only after doctors check for oxygen saturation level and arterial blood gas results to determine the exact oxygen concentration. The application of oxygen therapy results in better energy and cognitive function. However, excessive oxygen use in COPD patients can suppress their natural breathing drive, requiring careful monitoring by specialists. People with chronic respiratory diseases can maintain active lives due to portable oxygen concentrators that offer mobile oxygen delivery systems. Periodic follow-up evaluations help pulmonologists adjust oxygen requirements to prevent complications like carbon dioxide retention or toxicity.
