How long is the appropriate length of time for an oxygen concentrator to inhale oxygen?

Inhaling oxygen through an oxygen concentrator is a health care method that many people are already familiar with and understand. As the number of people using home oxygen concentrators continues to increase, how to use oxygen correctly has indeed become a headache for many people. So how to use a home oxygen concentrator to breathe oxygen correctly? How to generally control the oxygen inhalation time?

            Users need to accurately understand their usage and choose an oxygen concentrator that suits them. For users, we are currently divided into mild hypoxia, moderate hypoxia, severe hypoxia, and special oxygen-consuming groups. Each group of people needs to develop a plan that meets the actual hypoxia situation according to the different degrees of hypoxia. Oxygen therapy plan.

Mild hypoxia: This type of hypoxic people are mainly young white-collar workers and office workers. They work in a high-pressure, closed environment for a long time, resulting in blood oxygen saturation lower than normal, causing drowsiness and lack of concentration. Symptoms such as difficulty concentrating. We can use an oxygen concentrator to provide appropriate oxygen to increase our own blood oxygen saturation and improve work efficiency.

Moderate hypoxia: Most of the people suffering from this type of hypoxia are the elderly and patients with moderate to mild respiratory diseases, cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. The blood oxygen saturation of this group of people is lower than the normal level for a long time, and they may suffer from chest tightness, asthma and other symptoms. A self-contained portable oxygen concentrator provides scheduled oxygen therapy every day and can be used at different times. Between 3-4 hours a day, use oxygen for half an hour each time, using low-flow, high-concentration oxygen supply. 

Severe hypoxia: These people mainly suffer from respiratory diseases for a long time. Generally, doctors will recommend that such users equip themselves with a medical oxygen concentrator at home and need to supplement oxygen for more than 8 hours a day. This group of people is recommended to supplement oxygen therapy according to the doctor's recommendations, and also needs auxiliary drugs for treatment.

Special groups: This group is mainly divided into hypoxia during pregnancy and hypoxia in severe diseases. Generally, doctors will develop a detailed oxygen therapy plan based on the actual hypoxia situation of this group of people. Oxygen inhalers need to strictly abide by the doctor's oxygen inhalation plan for supplementary oxygen operations.

            After reading the article, everyone will have a new positioning and understanding of home oxygen therapy and their own hypoxia. In various hypoxic situations, oxygen should be supplemented appropriately according to your own situation.
