Misleading redirect[edit]

Supplemental oxygen is not only used for medical purposes. It is also used at high altitudes to supplement the oxygen of the ambient atmosphere where that is insufficient for efficient physiological function. Redirection to oxygen therapy does not include this important function. The article should discuss both uses, with a link to oxygen therapy, unless there is reliable evidence to show that high altitude use by mountaineers and aircrew is considered a medical use, in which case the article on oxygen therapy must be expanded to include it.· · · Peter Southwood ^(talk): 05:53, 23 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
