Home oxygen therapy provides supplemental oxygen for patients whose lungs cannot maintain adequate oxygen levels. It's prescribed for conditions like COPD, pulmonary fibrosis, severe asthma, heart failure, and sleep-related hypoxemia. Oxygen is delivered through nasal cannulas or masks. Your doctor determines your oxygen flow rate based on blood oxygen testing. Oxygen can be supplied via oxygen concentrators (which extract oxygen from room air), compressed gas cylinders, or liquid oxygen systems. Specialty Medical Equipment helps you choose the right equipment and provides ongoing support.
