There are two ways to give oxygen to a patient. You can deliver it through a face mask, connected to a tank of oxygen, or you can place the patient in a room which has its own pure oxygen atmosphere, often at high pressure as well. High pressure (technically called hyperbaric) oxygen will enter the blood even if the patient is not breathing.
