What is Narrative-Based Medicine

Oxygen therapy consists on administering oxygen at a higher concentration than that found in the air in order to treat problems due to respiratory failure. When the oxygen therapy treatment is not necessary to administer in the hospital, within a hospital admission, it can be prescribed for the patient to receive at home, referred to as continuous home oxygen therapy. This type of therapy has great advantages for patients and their families because it allows them to stay together longer. But there are also important difficulties to be taken into account that have to do with the handling of the devices that are used for the administration of oxygen, as well as the compliance or not of the time prescribed by the health professional.
