Oxygen tent

It can envelop the patient's bed with the end sections held in place by a mattress to ensure that the tent is airtight.

Typically, the treatment raises the amount of oxygen in the blood, decreases load on the heart, and facilitates breathing.

Oxygen therapy might be advised for lung diseases, heart conditions, carbon monoxide poisoning, and could be administered to patients in case of surgery.

[citation needed] A person with viral or bacterial meningitis who develops breathing difficulty might be kept in an oxygen tent.

If the tent is opened to attend to the patient, the edges need to be tucked back to prevent oxygen from seeping out.
