Oxygen therapy is the use of oxygen for medical treatment.

Supplemental oxygen can also refer to the use of oxygen-enriched air at altitude. Acute indications for therapy are hypoxemia (lowerOxygen content in the blood), carbon monoxide poisoning and cluster headache.

It may also be administered prophylactically to maintain blood oxygen levels during induction of anesthesia.

Oxygen therapy is often useful for chronic hypoxemia caused by conditions such as severe COPD or cystic fibrosis.

Oxygen can be used via aNasal cannula, a face mask or endotracheal intubation at normal atmospheric pressure or in a hyperbaric chamber.

It can also be administered by bypassing the airway, such as in ECMO therapy.

 

Oxygen is required for normal cell metabolism.

However, concentrations that are too high can cause oxygen toxicity, which can lead to lung damage and respiratory failure.

Higher oxygen concentrations can also increase the risk of respiratory fires, especially when smoking.

Even without humidification, oxygen therapy can dry out the nasal mucosa. In most conditions, an oxygen saturation of 94-96% is sufficient, while in patients at risk of carbon dioxide retention, saturations of 88-92% are preferred.

In cases of carbon monoxide poisoning or cardiac arrest, saturations should be as high as possible. While air typically contains 21% oxygen by volume, oxygen therapy can increase the O2 content of air up to 100%.

 

The medical use of oxygen first became common around 1917 and is the most common hospital treatment in the developed world. It is currently on the World Health Organization's list of essential medicines. Home oxygen can be provided either through oxygen tanks or an oxygen concentrator.
