Oxygen Mask

An oxygen mask is a medical device placed over the nose and mouth to supply oxygen. Oxygen masks are especially used when a patient suffers from respiratory ailments and cannot get enough oxygen from the air. Surprisingly, oxygen is considered a drug medication and must be prescribed by a physician. The physician determines the amount of oxygen needed at an exact setting and rate. Too little oxygen can result in fatigue and too much oxygen is not good for the lungs. Oxygen masks be used for short-term and long-term therapy in both home and hospital settings. The oxygen can be supplied from a metal cylinder or other containers. Oxygen is flowed through a tube from an oxygen source and delivered into the lungs via the oxygen mask. It is important to know that oxygen therapy can be a fire hazard. If used at home, proper training and equipment is necessary before administering oxygen therapy.
