It can sometimes be challenging for patients to get access to oxygen which is an important part of therapy for interstitial lung disease (ILD). In this session, Dr. Johannson talks about why people with ILD experience low oxygen levels. She helps patients and caregivers understand what is happening with clinical tests that doctors order to measure oxygen, the impacts of hypoxemia (low oxygen) on your body, the benefits of supplemental oxygen (studies that guide decision making in oxygen recommendations), the downsides of oxygen, available funding, and clinical tips for using oxygen.
