Exercise Oxygen Levels

SpO2 ≤ 88% during physical exertion, with documented improvement using oxygen.

Sleep-Related Hypoxemia

SpO2 ≤ 88% for at least 5 minutes during sleep, typically confirmed with a sleep study.

Qualifying Conditions

Diagnoses like COPD, pulmonary fibrosis, or pulmonary hypertension with evidence of hypoxemia.

Frequently Asked Questions

Oxygen therapy is prescribed based on medical testing that shows your blood oxygen levels are below normal. Your doctor will perform arterial blood gas tests or pulse oximetry to determine if you qualify for oxygen therapy.

Yes, many oxygen concentrators are FAA approved for air travel. We can help coordinate travel arrangements and provide portable equipment suitable for your destination and transportation needs.

Oxygen usage depends on your prescription and medical condition. Some patients need continuous oxygen, while others use it only during sleep, exercise, or as needed for symptoms. Always follow your doctor's instructions.
