| Summary: |
The purpose of oxygen therapy is to increase the supply of oxygen to the tissues by making the most of the transport capacity of arterial blood. Many diseases, particularly lung diseases like Covid-19, reduce the amount of oxygen in the bloodstream. In such cases, the administration of additional oxygen can be effective. Objective: To identify the benefits of oxygen therapy in patients with Covid-19. Material and method: a documentary, qualitative research with a descriptive analytical scope was carried out, since the bibliographies of databases were reviewed using national and international lit-erature, in electronic format. A total of 10 bibliographic references were used. Conclusion: Oxygen therapy is a procedure aimed at the prevention and treatment of hypoxemia, since it increases the oxygen content in arterial blood and allows efficient work of breathing, guaranteeing adequate levels of oxygen saturation in less critical stages of the disease. |
