Oxygen therapy is needed anytime the body / brain cannot maintain adequate respiratory effort or respiratory exchange to maintain life. There are so many instances that could need oxygen therapy that it is impossible to list them all here. Some examples would include: head injury in which the respiratory center is affected; broken bones in the chest or any other condition or disease that restricts the expansion of the lungs; any chemical interference with lung expansion (example: overdose); or even after certain surgeries.

What is the independent variable in an experiment designed to compare the differences in health outcomes between patients visited in the hospital by therapy cats and patients who are not?
Whether a therapy cat has visited the patients would be the independent variable. A secondary independent variable, not as readily noticeable in this question, is whether the patients saw, touched, or otherwise interacted with a therapy cat or cats.For example, 6 patients out of 100 patients visited by the cat were sleeping; those 6 patients never saw, touched, or interacted with the cats. The sample could not include those 6 patients.Further, other variables would also be independent and need to be accounted for, including:the patient's mobility; the benefits would be harder to assess with a paralyzed patientthe patient's mental state; the benefits would be harder to assess with a patient who is having active hallucinations or severe dementiathe patient's medications; a patient given sedative medications would not be alert to see or interact with a therapy petAnd, the exact behaviors being studied need to be pre-defined in order to properly assess the "outcomes".

If someone used radiation therapy or anything else it would make them very ill, and more than likely be fatal to them since they would not have cancer, the radiation would get rid of their good healthy cells."
If you have 60 percent lung capacity how long before you have to have oxygen?
The need for oxygen therapy is not solely determined by lung capacity but also by symptoms of low oxygen levels. If you have 60% lung capacity but are not experiencing significant symptoms, you may not need oxygen therapy. It would be best to consult with a healthcare provider for a proper assessment and recommendation.
What are the Procedures and rationale oxygen therapy?
The rationale for oxygen therapy rests in the fact that the human body requires oxygen to live. We practice oxygen therapy from the moment we are born.The air we breathe is funneled into our lungs where our body separates out the oxygen. Once separated from the 2 hydrogen atoms, oxygen reverts back to its gaseous state.This gas (O) then goes into the bloodstream where it is carried to every part of the body. The body uses this oxygen to fortify bodily functions like respiration and digestion as well as organs, muscles and tissues. Without this oxygen the body would die.Oxygen Therapy is effective because the air we breathe is only about 21% oxygen and medical science has shown that this is insufficient to properly maintain human life. When the available oxygen is at this level disease and death are inevitable unless an additional supply of oxygen is administered.This is the rationale for oxygen therapy.The procedures for procuring this additional oxygen vary. The choices are:1. Hyperbaric Oxygen Chambers2. Ozone Oxygen Therapy3. Oxygen Cannisters4. H2O2 Oral Oxygen TherapyAll are viable methods of getting more oxygen into the human body.
