Treatment
The air we breathe contains approximately 20% oxygen, which is inhaled into the lungs and diffused through membranes into our blood. Certain health conditions prevent us from getting enough oxygen to sustain vital functions. For that reason, supplemental oxygen may be necessary to stay active.
Home oxygen therapy is generally prescribed for the treatment of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), heart failure, and other cardio-respiratory diseases.
The goal of oxygen therapy is to increase the amount of oxygen that flows into the lungs, thus allowing more oxygen to be absorbed into the bloodstream and delivered to the body's tissues. The treatment improves your quality of life, increases longevity, reduces shortness of breath, and reduces heart rate so that you can function better and be more active.
Home oxygen therapy is administered under a doctor's order through oxygen devices designed for safe home use. Your doctor will write an individualized prescription based on the blood oxygen levels measured while resting, exercising, or sleeping.

Installation services
Once you have been assessed by a respiratory therapist from your local health centre, it's time to choose your oxygen therapy equipment and service provider. We will then be ready to install the oxygen products in your home in accordance with the treatment prescribed. During installation, we will make sure you are comfortable with your new oxygen equipment, teaching you how to use it correctly and safely for efficient treatment. We will also provide you with any necessary accessories and supplies. Your respiratory therapist will then follow up with regular visits to monitor the progress of your treatment plan, ensure its efficiency, and make any necessary changes to your prescription.
