Since uptake of O2 from the air is the essential purpose of respiration, oxygen supplementation is regularly used in medicine to increases oxygen levels in the blood and to decrease resistance to blood flow in many types of diseased lungs. Oxygen therapy with oxygen masks or nasal cannulas can be used to treat emphysema, pneumonia, congestive heart failure, increase of pulmonary artery pressure, and any disease that impairs the body’s ability to take up O2, during surgery and intensive care treatment.

During extreme COPD conditions when bronchodilators are unable to calm down the symptoms, oxygen therapy or a non-invasive ventilation technique is used. A patient can directly inhale the pure form of oxygen through a portable oxygen cylinder during oxygen therapy. While during non-invasive ventilation, the patients are admitted to the hospital and nebulized with a pure form of oxygen [24].

Thus, the haemoglobin oxygen dissociation curve reduces the risk of both inadequate oxygen uptake and delivery to tissues, as well as excessive oxygen exposure at the cellular level. In the management of human disease in which oxygen therapy is administered, it is recognised that both insufficient oxygen to resolve marked hypoxaemia and grossly excessive oxygen administration resulting in marked hyperoxaemia have the potential to cause harm. Crucial to this consideration is determining the levels of hypoxaemia and hyperoxaemia that pose a risk to human health.
