Oxygen Therapy
Patients with neurological, cardiac and other conditions may need help to breathe or get enough oxygen to their organs. Therapies may include:
- Oxygen therapy: This can provide relief for patients with cluster headache. It also improves oxygen saturation to damaged heart muscle for heart attack patients.
- Ventilator: Patients who have lung and pulmonary conditions or any disease, such as amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), that can disrupt breathing, may need a ventilator.
