Uses: These are Medical primarily for patients with chronic respiratory conditions such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), asthma, or emphysema. These machines are intended for home use, as they need to be plugged into an electrical outlet.
COPD: Oxygen concentrators are vital for managing low blood oxygen levels in COPD patients, particularly to reduce shortness of breath and improve quality of life.
COPD: Oxygen concentrators are vital for managing low blood oxygen levels in COPD patients, particularly to reduce shortness of breath and improve quality of life.
Benefits: They provide continuous oxygen flow, typically between 1 and 10 liters per minute (LPM). They are designed for long-term use but are not portable due to their size and weight.
Uses: These are designed for patients who also require positive airway pressure therapies (such as those with sleep apnea), in addition to supplemental oxygen.
Uses: These devices are Medical for patients with severe respiratory conditions who need a higher flow rate of oxygen (typically over 10 LPM). They are generally hospital-grade machines but can be found in some home settings for patients with advanced diseases.
Uses: These devices are Medical for patients with severe respiratory conditions who need a higher flow rate of oxygen (typically over 10 LPM). They are generally hospital-grade machines but can be found in some home settings for patients with advanced diseases.
Benefits: They are battery-efficient and can be Medical while moving, making them ideal for active patients who need oxygen intermittently throughout the day.
