As the COPD progresses, the lung damage can reach a point where the lungs are unable to keep good oxygen saturation levels in the blood. The use of supplemental oxygen is common for people with advanced diseases. A normal oxygen saturation level (SpO2) is 95% or more. When the saturation level is 88% or less, then person may need supplemental oxygen.
In this video Dr Muhammad Ahsan Zafar (Pulmonologist and Co-founder of PEP Buddy) talks about oxygen therapy in COPD. He also mentions breathing techniques that help improve oxygen levels during activities.
Learn from Dr. Zafar - a pulmonologist and past medical director of a pulmonary rehab program
PEP buddy is a small, hands-free device that helps improve breathing in people with COPD and other lung diseases. PEP Buddy works by 1) providing a gentle back pressure when you breathe out, which helps air tubes to stay open, 2) it slows down the breathing rate, 3) prolongs the exhalation, 4) helps you focus on breathing.
Clinical studies have shown PEP buddy to be effective and easy-to-use. 3 out of 4 people (72%) have a significant improvement in their breathing and quality of life. 1 out of 3 (36%) have better oxygen levels when using PEP buddy.

Took my dad for a consult and doctor was rude and negative because he has been diagnosed with early stage cancer . Heartbreaking for both of us when he said he wouldn't touch my dad with a 6 foot pole .

[@dukeofearl236]
