Definition from HealthLine:
Some people with breathing disorders can’t get enough oxygen naturally. They may need supplemental oxygen, or oxygen therapy. People who receive oxygen therapy often see improved energy levels and sleep, and better quality of life. There are a number of different types of oxygen therapies that can be used. These include: oxygen gas, liquid oxygen, oxygen concentrators, hyperbaric oxygen therapy.

  • Oxygen therapy is key to the successful treatment of advanced cases of Covid-19, and last Tuesday NHS England warned hospitals across the country about the risk to supplies in an urgent patient safety notice.

zuurstoftoediening


Definition from own experience or research:
Extra zuurstof geven via mond of neus aan een patiënt die een te laag zuurstofgehalte in het bloed heeft als gevolg van bijv. een verminderde longfunctie.

Example sentence(s):
  • Het doel van zuurstoftoediening is om hypoxemie te corrigeren in een acute situatie of bij chronische of palliatieve patiënten. - Nursing, vaktijdschrift verpleegkundigen  
  • Een tekort aan zuurstof in een bepaald deel van het lichaam, ofwel hypoxie, met name in de vitale organen, kan schadelijk zijn. Zuurstoftoediening zou in deze situaties mogelijk schade kunnen voorkomen. - Ge-Bu (Geneesmiddelenbulletin)  
  • Zuurstoftoediening in de ambulance wordt gedaan bij patienten die behoefte hebben aan extra zuurstof. Hiervoor gebruik je een zuurstofmasker, zuurstofcatheter of een zuurstofneusbril. - vandeputte medical  

Explanation:
Ook zuurstoftherapie wordt wel gebruikt, maar veel minder vaak. Bij de meeste hits gaat het om hyperbare zuurstoftherapie (toediening van pure zuurstof in een drukcabine), wat hier niet wordt bedoeld.
