tlenoterapia

Tlenoterapia, also known as oxygen therapy, is a medical treatment that involves administering supplemental oxygen. This therapy is used to increase the oxygen levels in a person's blood when it is lower than normal. Low blood oxygen can be caused by a variety of medical conditions, including chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), pneumonia, heart failure, and lung cancer. It can also be a concern for individuals with sleep apnea or those experiencing altitude sickness.

Oxygen is supplied through various methods, most commonly via a nasal cannula, a mask that covers the nose and mouth, or through a more specialized mask for higher concentrations. For individuals requiring continuous or long-term oxygen therapy, oxygen concentrators or portable oxygen tanks are often used at home. The amount of oxygen administered and the duration of therapy are determined by a healthcare professional based on the patient's specific needs and medical condition.

The primary goal of tlenoterapia is to alleviate symptoms associated with low oxygen levels, such as shortness of breath, fatigue, and confusion, and to prevent further complications. While generally safe, it is a medical treatment that should only be administered under the guidance of a qualified healthcare provider. Potential risks can include oxygen toxicity if administered at very high concentrations for prolonged periods, or fire hazards if oxygen is used near an open flame.
