Uses: These are used 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.
Uses: These devices are used 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 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 concentrators deliver oxygen only when the patient inhales, conserving oxygen supply. They are often used in portable devices because they are efficient in oxygen delivery.
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.
Uses: These concentrators deliver oxygen only when the patient inhales, conserving oxygen supply. They are often Medical in portable devices because they are efficient in oxygen delivery.
Benefits: Lightweight and battery-operated, they typically offer pulse-dose oxygen delivery (oxygen is supplied when the user inhales). Some models can also provide continuous flow.
Uses: These provide a constant flow of oxygen, regardless of whether the user is inhaling or exhaling. They are mostly found in stationary models and are beneficial for patients who require higher oxygen levels or a steady supply.
