Oxygen therapy, also known as EWOT (Exercise with Oxygen Therapy), involves breathing in oxygen at higher concentrations than what is found in normal air. It is a non-invasive therapy commonly used to support various medical conditions and promote general well-being. During oxygen therapy, you are provided with supplemental oxygen through a mask or nasal cannula.
The oxygen can be delivered at different flow rates and concentrations, depending on your needs and the prescribed treatment. The primary goal of oxygen therapy is to increase the amount of oxygen in the bloodstream, which can help improve oxygen delivery to the body’s tissues and organs. This is necessary for the proper functioning of cells and organs, including the brain, heart, and muscles.
