oxygen therapie at home with côté santé

 

WHAT IS OXYGEN THERAPY?

Oxygen therapy is a medical treatment whereas oxygen is dispensed from a tank (canister) or an oxygen concentrator. The patients breathe oxygen from the device trough a facial mask or a nasal cannula (two tiny tubules in the nostrils linked to an oxygen tube). Every breath increases the amount of oxygen in the blood to an acceptable level, thus relieving the heart of additional effort while making breathing easier.

RECOMMENDED HOME OXYGEN THERAPY 

AS A RULE, OXYGEN THERAPY IS RECOMMENDED FOR:

  • Patients with a low oxygen blood level leading to insufficient tissue oxygenation, medically known as hypoxemia

  • Patients with acute infections

  • Patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD)

  • Certain type of cancers 

  • Cluster headache

  • Certain pediatric pathologies

Oxygen therapy is a treatment aimed at relieving a discomfort and is by no means a curative treatment capable of reversing already damaged lungs. Treatment must be prescribed by a doctor stating recommended oxygen flow and number of hours administered per day.

FOR HOW LONG SHOULD I BE ON OXYGEN THERAPY?

Depending on the reason, you may require oxygen therapy for a few weeks or for the rest of your life. At Côté Santé, we can assist you on a short or long term basis. In order to make sure that your needs are fulfilled, it is important to ask your doctor to go over your oxygen prescription at least once a year or whenever you are experiencing new symptoms.
