oxygenated air

Enriched breathing mixture

Air that has been enriched with oxygen beyond normal atmospheric levels, or air in which oxygen has been replenished after depletion.

The term appears in medical contexts where patients receive supplemental oxygen, and in descriptions of ventilation: The system pumps oxygenated air into the chamber.

It also describes the fresh air of forests or mountains, contrasted with stale indoor air.
