COPD
Frequently Asked Questions
11. When is oxygen therapy used for
COPD?
For people with severe COPD and low levels of oxygen in the blood,
doctors may recommend oxygen therapy to help with shortness of
breath. Using extra oxygen more than 15 hours per day can help you
perform tasks or activities with less shortness of breath, protect
the heart and other organs from damage, help you sleep more,
improve your alertness during the day, and help you live
longer.
