A complete guide to the concentration, time and precautions of oxygen concentrators (with oxygen concentrator recommendations)
Share
With the popularization of healthy oxygen therapy awareness, oxygen concentrators have become an important device for health management in many families.
Today, RESPIREASY explains the concentration, time and precautions of oxygen concentrators.
Reasonable oxygen inhalation can relieve symptoms and improve the quality of life, but be careful not to inhale oxygen randomly even if you are hypoxic:
1. Concentration and time control
Choose appropriate concentration, flow rate and oxygen inhalation duration according to the condition or oxygen inhalation needs
Avoid excessive oxygen inhalation causing adverse symptoms such as respiratory depression
2. Assessment of underlying diseases
Professional judgment is required to determine whether long-term oxygen therapy is needed
For example, if the arterial oxygen saturation of COPD patients is lower than 88% at rest, or the blood oxygen is lower than 90% at night, long-term home oxygen therapy is required
II. Operation specifications for home oxygen therapy
1. Daily duration
It can be used for a short period of time in the acute phase (15-25 minutes/day)
Long-term oxygen therapy requires ≥15 hours/day to prolong survival and reduce hospitalization rate
2 , Oxygen inhalation at night
Continuous inhalation at low flow rate (1-3L/min) to prevent carbon dioxide retention
Humidification treatment
A humidifier is required when inhaling oxygen to avoid airway dryness and mucosal damage
III. Operation taboos and precautions
1. Fire and explosion prevention
The oxygen inhalation environment must be away from open flames and flammable materials
2. No private adjustment
Do not adjust the oxygen flow rate at will to avoid high-concentration oxygen damaging lung tissue
3. Pause during meals
Oxygen inhalation must be suspended during meals to prevent aspiration
4. Low-flow oxygen supply
The recommended oxygen flow rate is 1-1.5L/min and the oxygen concentration is 25-29% to avoid high-concentration oxygen dependence
IV. Management of special populations
How long can patients use oxygen concentrators?
The time a patient uses an oxygen concentrator depends on the specific medical advice and the patient's specific condition. For example, for patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), it is usually recommended to use an oxygen concentrator for 10 to 15 hours a day. This period of time can help patients relieve symptoms, but the specific use time should be determined by the doctor based on the patient's blood oxygen level and lung function. If you or your relatives and friends need to use an oxygen concentrator, please be sure to follow the doctor's instructions and supervision.
1. COPD patients
Need to strictly monitor blood oxygen indicators and adjust oxygen therapy plans for regular follow-up visits
2. Cor pulmonale patients
The initial oxygen inhalation time starts with a short time (15-25 minutes/day), and gradually extends after adaptation
When using an oxygen concentrator, be sure to reasonably control the parameters and use time, and pay attention to the operating details, so as to maximize its therapeutic effect.
