Why Oxygen?
Every cell in the body needs energy to function. Cells get their energy from a combination of the food we eat plus oxygen from the air we breathe.
Food + Oxygen = Energy + Carbon Dioxide
Thus, energy enables us to use our muscles to breathe, perform work, and carry out all bodily functions.
Oxygen is an element, a gas, and a drug. Because it is a drug, it must be prescribed by your physician. An exact flow rate given in liters per minute (LPM) has been ordered to increase your oxygen level.
Oxygen is normally delivered to you through a nasal cannula (pronounced CAN-YOU-LA), also called a nosepiece, or an oxygen mask.
