Oxygen concentrator therapy involves the use of a device that extracts oxygen from ambient air and delivers it to individuals who require supplemental oxygen for various medical conditions. This therapy is commonly used for patients with chronic respiratory diseases, such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), pulmonary fibrosis, or severe asthma.

Key Points about Oxygen Concentrator Therapy:

1. Function: Oxygen concentrators take in air from the environment, filter it, and remove nitrogen, resulting in a higher concentration of oxygen, typically around 90-95% pure oxygen.

2. Administration: Oxygen is delivered through nasal cannulas or masks, depending on the patient’s needs and comfort.

3. Benefits:

   • Improves oxygen saturation levels in the blood.
   • Alleviates symptoms of hypoxemia (low blood oxygen levels).
   • Enhances quality of life and physical activity levels for patients.
