Have you chosen the right oxygen concentrator?
Spring is the peak season for COPD. Have you chosen the right oxygen concentrator?
The spring equinox has arrived, the temperature has risen, and allergens such as pollen and catkins have begun to cause trouble. In addition, the large temperature difference between day and night can easily induce respiratory infections. COPD patients will also usher in the most vigilant period of the year.

Why is spring the peak season for COPD?
COPD generally refers to chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, which is an airway disease that can cause long-term breathing difficulties.
The climate is warming and everything is revived. Various pathogens reproduce actively, and influenza upper respiratory tract infections are prone to occur, causing COPD to recur or worsen.
Spring is windy, and pollen falls with the wind, which can easily cause allergic rhinitis and allergic asthma attacks. The so-called "same airway, same disease", the above two situations are closely related to the occurrence of COPD. If they are not effectively controlled, they may develop into COPD.
Common problems caused by COPD:
Breathing difficulties
Airway stenosis,
emphysema,
respiratory muscle dysfunction,
or systemic muscle atrophy,
can all cause breathing difficulties.
Affecting swallowing
Reduces oxygen intake during eating,
leading to accelerated respiratory compensation,
short airway closure time,
and swallowing difficulties are prone to occur.
Malnutrition
This is mainly related to increased energy consumption,
increased body catabolism,
and insufficient nutrient intake and absorption.
Sleep disorders
Hypoxemia caused by limited ventilation function
may increase nerve excitability and cause insomnia.
Combined with obstructive sleep apnea,
it may also affect sleep quality.

How to choose an oxygen generator?
Oxygen Generator
There are many types of oxygen generators on the market (home oxygen concentrator, mini portable oxygen cocentrator and medical oxygen conceentrator). It is recommended to choose an oxygen generator with high cost performance and good brand quality, and fully consider the durability of the oxygen generator.
DEDAKJ RESPIREASY is a high-tech enterprise focusing on oxygen production and supply solutions. It is committed to the forging of high-precision medical-grade oxygen production technology and the innovation of scenario-based applications. With the independently developed oxygen concentration control algorithm as the core, it has now obtained more than 350 intellectual property rights and patents, and has been rated as a provincial "specialized and innovative" enterprise and a national high-tech enterprise for several consecutive years.
