Oxygen therapy is a form of medication that the doctors recommend for patients whose lungs are not getting optimum oxygen to the blood and suffer from the condition of hypoxemia. The patients of hypoxemia cannot absorb sufficient oxygen from the surrounding air and need to get a lot more of oxygen through a machine. The machine that supplies sufficient oxygen to the patients of hypoxemia includes a facemask or a nasal catheter.
