A portable oxygen concentrator has been a must for many people with COPD and the need for supplemental oxygen. At the same time this type of machine is also a godsend for those who assist or live with them.
For the patient and the caretaker, the lack of oxygen saturation is difficult - the patient must live with or shortness of breath and everything that has to take it or get supplemental oxygen. Those who help, and this could be a family member or someoneby the medical community must also help we need to know their way around the oxygen machine, in this case, a portable oxygen concentrator.
There are some fundamental differences between an oxygen concentrator and an oxygen tank (or liquid oxygen or compressed), making for a different approach.
A portable oxygen concentrator extracts oxygen from the surrounding air. E 'then the delivery of oxygen in concentrated form to the patient. A tank of oxygen supply of oxygenfor the patient from his oxygen tank or stored. The fundamental difference is to do with storage. A tank of oxygen or stored, and not a hub - provides oxygen, as extracts.
The difference between a saved and unsaved-oxygen has a different implication. A reservoir supplies the amount of oxygen stored. The fuel tank is basically on its size and decreases the oxygen will last for a limited time - just as it depends on how the tank is full andFlow. For a portable oxygen concentrator, the delivery is as if the machine is turned on.
The next difference is also based on the previous one. A tank or cylinder containing oxygen, compressed or liquid oxygen in a specific variable rate to provide the pressure is released from the reservoir. In other words, it requires no additional power source to supply oxygen. A portable oxygen concentrator, on the other hand, provides oxygen isExtraction from the air around him and this extraction is possible thanks to the power source, the extraction mechanism works. Electricity - whether from a battery or connected as a result of being portable oxygen concentrator batteries, which greatly increases their ability to utilize oxygen, and while they are connected, where many models are also connected to the cigarette lighter, for example.
These three fundamental differences seem smallNature, but in fact are the reason why portable oxygen concentrators are not only became so popular, but also the quantity and nature of COPD patients are enjoying increased. From the perspective of the goalies - especially family members - to consume less and have less stress.
In short:
Prolonged oxygen. Although it is not connected, the battery option, starting at 2 hours, depending on the speed and flow capacity of the battery can go.But with a battery change throughout the cycle begins again.
The relationship between weight and volume of oxygen that is stored is no longer a problem.
No need for a recharge - this is the logistical difficulties and limitations, concentrators, used to happen all the extra oxygen before the arrival of portable oxygen.
Size and shape make this machine more portable.
Short trips, long distance, or the equivalent in time intervals is veryeasier. This ease of travel is on the shelf life of the supply of oxygen and also because the public entities (planes, trains and buses) have fewer restrictions than for the container of oxygen to be done.
