ABSTRACT
A need for oxygen is determined by the base pathology a patient suffers which produces immobilization, due to being bedridden and due to the problems which began due to an organic insufficiency associated with muscular weakness, a failure in the respiratory system, insufficient sputum, and cardiovascular alterations. This article deals with those alterations which cause a need to provide oxygen to a patient and its prevention in bedridden patients.

La necesidad de oxigenación está determinada por la patología de base que produce la inmovilización, por el encamamiento y por los problemas originados por la insuficiencia orgánica asociada a debilidad muscular, fallo del sistema respiratorio, expectoración insuficiente y alteraciones cardiovasculares. En el artículo se tratan las alteraciones de la necesidad de oxigenación y su prevención en el enfermo encamado(AU)
