Definition from HealthLine:
Some people with breathing disorders can’t get enough oxygen naturally. They may need supplemental oxygen, or oxygen therapy. People who receive oxygen therapy often see improved energy levels and sleep, and better quality of life. There are a number of different types of oxygen therapies that can be used. These include: oxygen gas, liquid oxygen, oxygen concentrators, hyperbaric oxygen therapy.
