Frequently Asked Questions
What is a pulse flow/dose and a continuous flow/dose?
Pulse and continuous flow refer to how the oxygen is delivered to the patient. A pulse flow machine delivers oxygen only when the patient inhales and is triggered by inhaling. A continuous flow machine delivers a continuous flow of oxygen. Most continuous flow machines will deliver both pulse and continuous flow.
Can a Portable Oxygen Concentrator (POC) be used when traveling internationally?
Yes, all of the portable oxygen concentrators have international power supplies which will accept 100v to 250v at 50 or 60 hertz. All that is needed is a proper plug adapter.
Can oxygen more than what is prescribed be used?
No, using more than prescribed oxygen is harmful as it can cause Oxygen toxicity/Oxygen poisoning in the body. It may have damaging effects like damage to eyes, acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), alveolar damage, destruction of neurons, etc.
Can oxygen less than what is prescribed be used?
No, it is absolutely essential that one uses oxygen exactly as prescribed by the physician. Using less than prescribed oxygen can cause low levels of oxygen in the blood which may result in poor memory, irritable mood, poor cognition, shortness of breath, headaches and much more. Using less than prescribed oxygen for longer periods of time also deteriorates lung’s health and causes the disease to grow.
How much oxygen is ideal?
As prescribed by the physician. Ideally, a healthy individual has a saturation of oxygen in the blood at 95-99%. Oxygen levels in the blood after the prescription is measured using pulse oximeter and should be maintained at above 90% in most cases.
Which is the best brand of oxygen concentrator that one should buy?
While all brands are good, the most important thing to be checked is that it should carry some international approvals like FDA, CE & ISO. The second most important thing to be kept in mind is that the specifications should suit the person’s requirement. The parameters one can consider to compare different models of different brands can be flow rate, battery backup, alarms (especially low purity of Oxygen), weight, power consumption and portability.
Is an oxygen cylinder required at home if an oxygen concentrator is used instead?
It is recommended to have an oxygen cylinder as a backup source in case the concentrator fails.
Should a nasal cannula be used or a face mask?
Either is fine; although a nasal cannula is preferred by most patients. However, if a nasal cannula produces rashes in the nostrils and/or the flow requirement is more than 6L per minute (LPM), then a face mask is preferred.
