O2 Classroom 7 Signs You May Need Oxygen Therapy

Описание: It's important for those battling a respiratory disease to closely monitor their condition to prevent a serious exacerbation or rapid disease progression. One of the things that must be closely monitored is your oxygen saturation. Oxygen saturation is the measurement of the amount of oxygen that is being carried via your bloodstream to all the cells and organs in your body.

Most people with normal lung function sustain oxygen saturation in the upper 90 percentile. Anything above 90% is generally considered normal. If you drop into the 80s for any sustained amount of time your doctor is likely to recommend that you start supplemental oxygen therapy.

Your body requires oxygen to perform efficiently and effectively. Your doctor will likely give you a series of tests to ascertain if you are in danger of hypoxia or low oxygen levels.

In this video we'll go over the 7 most important signs that you might need an oxygen prescription.
