In an era where the demand for medical oxygen remains consistent, oxygen concentrators have emerged as one of the most popular medical devices. During the recent COVID-19 pandemic, global supply chains have been put under unprecedented strain and sourcing of essential medical supplies has proved to be extremely challenging.
In contrast to medical oxygen that is obtained from industrial units through cylinders, oxygen concentrators can be operated by any individual at home, consequently, making it one of the most sought-after devices in recent years. By selectively removing nitrogen from a gas supply, an oxygen concentration machine produces oxygen - enriched air, which aids in the treatment of breathing disorders by delivering oxygen therapy. This device is portable and highly cost-effective, hence suitable for use in both hospitals and at home.
There are several health conditions that can cause oxygen levels to drop, such as asthma, pneumonia, interstitial lung disease, heart dysfunction, flu, and COVID 19. Oxygen therapy using an oxygen concentrator is required when the levels of oxygen are low in order to prevent the health concern from worsening. In the past 2 years, there has been an increase in the number of severe COVID-19 cases, which have resulted in an increased demand for oxygen.There are persistent concerns regarding the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, which is threatening the global human population, including those living in countries with limited health facilities and resources. As a result of severe COVID-19, several patients experience hypoxemia, in which case, supplemental oxygen is an essential first step and should be the primary focus in settings with limited ventilation capacity.
Home oxygen concentrators don't require refilling and won't break down after prolonged use. They can run 24 hours a day, which is one of their greatest advantages.
Despite the fact that oxygen concentrators are seasonal machines, it is imperative to understand how they must be handled, as well as the necessary care and caution to keep in mind, while using them. To learn how you can accomplish just that, read on..
A Step-by-Step guide on how to use an Oxygen Concentrator:
Step 1: To ensure that the oxygen concentrator gets enough room to circulate air, place it 1- 2 feet away from the wall and other furniture in the room.
Caution: It is imperative to keep in mind that the oxygen concentrator machine is likely to become extremely heated when used continuously.
Step 2: A humidification bottle may be prescribed by your doctor, if the oxygen flow rate exceeds 2-3 litres per minute, in which case, you must connect the bottle and use distilled water for the best results.
Step 3: The oxygen tubing must then be connected to the humidifier bottle.
Step 4: A filter attached to the oxygen concentrator clears the air. It is important to ensure that the machine's filter is in place before using it.
Step 5: Turn the power on by pressing the power button. Ensure the machine is working properly by checking the light indicator periodically.
Upon purchasing an oxygen concentrator, it’s important to consider the following parameters:- Flow Rate: This is the rate at which oxygen is delivered to the patient by the machine.
- Power Consumption
- Portability
- Oxygen Concentration
- Noise Level
