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.
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: Portable oxygen concentrators are designed for patients who require oxygen therapy but want to maintain an active lifestyle. These are ideal for travel, exercise, or outdoor activities.
Uses: These are designed for patients who also require positive airway pressure therapies (such as those with sleep apnea), in addition to supplemental oxygen.
