Demand valve oxygen therapy is a way of delivering high flow oxygen using a device that supplies oxygen only when the patient breathes in and shuts off when the patient breathes out. It is commonly used to treat conditions such as cluster headache, and it is a recommended first aid procedure for several diving disorders, including as a prophylactic against decompression sickness after a minor omitted decompression with no symptoms.
