What is it really like to live with an oxygen therapy prescription?
Join us for a conversation with two supplemental oxygen users, Jean and Art, who share their personal journeys with oxygen therapy. They are joined by “the Oxygen Guy,” Mike Hess, MPH, RRT, RPFT, Senior Director of Advocacy and Regulatory Affairs at the COPD Foundation, who helps uncover the challenges and benefits of navigating a supplemental oxygen prescription.
Together, the group discusses topics including advice for new users, pulmonary rehabilitation, differences in quality of life on oxygen therapy, and how clinicians can better support their patients.
World Oxygen Day is October 2. This episode is part two of a two-part series in honor of those who need or benefit from oxygen therapy. Learn more about World Oxygen Day at WorldOxygenDay.org
