title: [Prevention of respiratory risks].
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.
