Put oxygen in nose: Is is giving oxygen to someone who doesn't have the ability to keep the right amount in their blood due to improper exchange from the lungs to the blood.

A gas: Oxygen therapy is usually given to people who have cardiac and pulmonary disease and have low oxygen saturations. The oxygen comes in a tank or concentrator and the flow is adjusted to deliver oxygen to keep a specific blood saturation above 88.
