Intermittent oxygen therapy means giving supplemental oxygen for short, repeated periods rather than continuously. It's often used in people who don't need oxygen all the time but may benefit during certain activities or situations, for example, during sleep, exercise, or flare-ups of breathing problems.

Benefits of Intermittent Oxygen Therapy

• Improves oxygen levels temporarily
• Reduces shortness of breath
• Decreases strain on the heart
• Improves sleep quality
• Boosts energy and mental clarity
• Supports recovery

The frequency of intermittent oxygen therapy varies depending on individual needs and oxygen levels. It is usually administered in short sessions, lasting 15 - 30 minutes, one or more times per day as prescribed. In most cases, therapy can be performed several times a week or daily, depending on the condition being treated. Treatment frequency should always be personalized, based on oxygen saturation, medical condition, and response to therapy.
