Oxygen Therapy

Breathe Easy With IRS

What Is Oxygen Therapy? Oxygen Therapy uses supplemental oxygen to increase the level of oxygen carried in your blood.

Oxygen is a Physician-prescribed medication that is used for short and long-term durations depending on a person’s needs. Oxygen Therapy is delivered through small prongs that sit in the nostrils, or with a mask that covers the nose and mouth. Oxygen Therapy can normalize oxygen levels in your blood.
