oxygen delivery
Supplemental air supply
Oxygen delivery refers to the process of transporting oxygen from the lungs to the body's tissues, or to medical systems that supply supplemental oxygen to patients.
In clinical settings, it encompasses the equipment and methods used to administer oxygen therapy, such as nasal cannulas, face masks, and ventilators.
The patient's oxygen delivery was compromised due to low hemoglobin levels.
In physiology, oxygen delivery depends on cardiac output, hemoglobin concentration, and oxygen saturation working together.
