Have Long COVID and living with an Oxygen Concentrator? Here are some things you should know

COVID was not a word many of us were familiar with until February of last year; now it is a word we hear every day. Servotech has attempted to expand its supply network in order to provide additional oxygen concentrators to hospitals and consumers around the country. But the reason for the growing need of these machines is Long COVID. So, let’s start with the symptoms of COVID: There are numerous variants of the symptoms that persons with COVID are prone to, but these are the most prevalent ones:

  • severe exhaustion (fatigue)
  • Breathing problems
  • stiffness or discomfort in the chest
  • memory and attention issues (sometimes known as “brain fog”).
  • inability to sleep (insomnia)
  • palpitations in the heart
  • feeling dizzy
  • needles and pins
  • achy joints
  • Anxiety and depression
  • earaches, tinnitus
  • nausea, diarrhea, stomachaches, and a loss of appetite
  • A fever, a cough, headaches, a sore throat, and changes in your sense of smell or taste
  • having rashes

Of course, these symptoms could be signs of a variety of diseases and conditions, so if you’re concerned, talk to your doctor.

Servotech trying to ease it for you

Yes. We’ve been giving oxygen concentrators to many of those suffering from the symptoms of Long COVID over the previous few months. These units have aided in the improvement of energy levels, the reduction of sleeping difficulties, the reduction of chest pain, and, of course, the reduction of shortness of breath. We are not claiming that breathing oxygen is a total treatment, but it has been shown to significantly decrease the symptoms and aid recovery.

Many persons with COPD, pulmonary fibrosis, and other lung disorders eventually need supplemental oxygen therapy to relieve their dyspnoea. Receiving a prescription for home oxygen, on the other hand, can be upsetting. Suddenly, everyone who comes into contact with you will be aware that you have a medical condition that necessitates the usage of oxygen.

When you work through the difficulties of setting up and using home oxygen therapy, keep in mind that it can significantly enhance your quality of life as your COPD, pulmonary fibrosis, or other lung disease worsens.

At home on oxygen Support? These 7 things can make you more informed and relieved

  1. Consult with family and friends ahead of time

When your lung doctor brings up the issue of oxygen therapy for the first time, go home and talk to your family about how it will influence your life. Let them know that the oxygen will allow you to stay active and do the things you love with them. As you adjust to utilizing home and portable oxygen, ask for their help. As you begin oxygen therapy, these dialogues may help you maintain as much normalcy as possible.

  1. Recognize your concentrator’s upkeep requirements.

For home oxygen therapy, many persons are given an oxygen concentrator. This gadget can be tucked away in a corner and delivers oxygen to your nose via a long line that may be used around the house. Talk to your home oxygen provider about required concentrator maintenance when they set up your concentrator. Filters on concentrators, for example, must be changed on a regular basis.

  1. Replace tubing and cannulas on a regular basis.

A lengthy tube connects to the concentrator or tank, and a nasal cannula links to the tubing and provides oxygen to your nostrils in supplemental oxygen therapy. Inquire with your oxygen provider about how often the main tube and cannula should be changed.
Even though the cannula does not appear to be filthy, you should change it periodically. Every month or two, the tubing should be replaced.

  1. Always have spare tubing and cannulas on hand.

Always keep extra oxygen tubing and cannulas on hand in case one of them breaks while being used. It’s not difficult to cut tubing unintentionally, for example, by running a vacuum cleaner over it. If you have a spare tube at your disposal, you can avoid a disruption in the oxygen supply.

  1. Prepare for power interruptions.

Your oxygen concentrator may not work if your home loses power. Write down an action plan to avoid losing your oxygen supply during a power outage. Switching to a portable oxygen tank while your electricity is restored should be part of your plan.
If you run out of oxygen before the power comes back on, get medical help immediately. Some people choose to buy a home backup generator if they have the financial means.

  1. Clean the humidifier on a regular basis.

If you’re using an oxygen concentrator with a humidifier bottle, clean it periodically. In humidifier attachments, bacteria can quickly accumulate.
Remove the bottle once a week and wash it with soap and water.

  1. Make fire safety a priority.

Although oxygen is not combustible or explosive in and of itself, oxygen concentrators and tanks infuse oxygen into the surroundings. They can make fires burn far faster than they should. Keep oxygen tanks and other oxygen-related equipment away from open flames.

Why when you buy an Oxygen Concentrator can turn out to be Life Saving?

When a patient requires only a small amount of oxygen, an oxygen concentrator can be a lifesaver. The body’s oxygen levels should ideally be above 95 percent. COVID-19, on the other hand, induces lung fibrosis and inhibits patients’ breathing. Breathlessness, shortness of breath, chest pain, and other breathing problems are frequent symptoms. Patients in such situations require oxygen therapy as quickly as possible, since their levels may begin to decline. Patients in this situation require assistance to compensate for their limited respiratory capacity. If oxygen levels fall below 80-85, the gadget can aid.

The devices come in a flow capacity of 5-10 liters per minute, cost between Rs 25,000 and Rs 60,000, and should only be used under the guidance of specialists. For patients, the equipment can buy valuable time. They may rely on the device until an ambulance arrives and they are admitted to the hospital.

The device can assist a patient’s oxygen levels to rise from 85 to 90 or 95 percent and even maintain these levels to a degree. Increased levels lessen the patient’s struggle and the risk of health consequences caused by a lack of oxygen.

Since the rise in cases during the second wave, over a hundred patients have benefited from oxygen concentrators, according to Ashok Madhavrao of Guru Healthcare in Mumbai.

Because it does not have a manual regulator like oxygen tanks, the gadget is straightforward to use. It prevents excessive discharge and allows the patient to handle it as needed. It has a cheap maintenance cost because it does not need to be refilled. Only the water dehumidifier needs to be replaced after a certain amount of time has passed. If needed, two devices with a flow rate of 5 liters per minute can be employed for a single patient.

The oxygen concentrator has also assisted patients with oxygen levels as low as 69 percent. Every piece of equipment costs Rs 480 to rent and is occasionally given out for free to those who cannot afford it.

How an Oxygen Concentrator restores respiration

The machine is powered by electricity and requires a constant power supply with backup power. At the touch of a button, the machine begins to release oxygen. The device removes nitrogen from the air and boosts the oxygen concentration for inhaling. The concentrator should only be used if the SPO2 (oxygen saturation) level falls below 95.

To use the device, you must first get permission from a doctor. The air we breathe is made up of around 21% oxygen, and 78% nitrogen, and the rest is made up of various gases. The oxygen concentrator works by capturing ambient air and filtering nitrogen and other gases out. The oxygen is kept in a cylinder that the user inhales.

For inhalation, use an oxygen mask or nasal cannula as directed by a medical professional. Ensure that the filters are clean and that the air intake is not obstructed. It may have an impact on the device’s performance. Patients with asthma, COPD, and other respiratory illnesses can also use it if their doctors prescribe it.

Oxygen Concentrator: Most effective while recovering

An oxygen concentrator is neither a substitute for oxygen nor a ventilator, according to experts. It can only act as a buffer before the disease’s severity worsens. Patients with moderate to severe health issues will demand larger oxygen doses, which the device will not be able to provide.

The severity of the situation frequently worsens. The patient’s oxygen levels rapidly plummet. In such instances, the patient should be shifted to an oxygen or ventilator bed as soon as possible. The oxygen concentrator is a waste of money.

After treatment, Madhavrao believes that oxygen concentrators may be more effective. “The machine can be appropriated as an auxiliary setup during the recovery stage of a patient during COVID-19, a time when oxygen dosages are not required in abundance. As a result, hospital bed occupancy is reduced, and the patient can continue his or her treatment at home. The abandoned bed is made available to another patient who requires treatment more urgently.

COVID-19 patient Aishwarya Devrajan of Gurgaon is one such COVID-19 survivor. “I was diagnosed on April 3 and spent over 23 days in the hospital. Because I have asthma, my doctor was concerned about my health and recommended that I get an oxygen concentrator,” she explains.

Moving out of the hospital, according to the 68-year-old, reduced her chances of becoming re-infected and infecting her family members with COVID-19. “The device has turned out to be a breakthrough. My oxygen levels have increased and my reliance on the device has decreased after a week of use. I used to use it for over five hours every day. But now I just use it for a few hours at a time. It has given me a sense of security regarding my health,” she asserted.

Patients benefit from oxygen concentrators, according to Madhavrao, especially in tough settings. “It would turn out to be immensely encouraging for the manufacturers and consumers if these life-saving, critical machines are exempted from taxes or slash their costs. It will make it more accessible to the general public and will be useful in the event of a pandemic.

Can UVC Kill Black Fungus and COVID?

The disease COVID-19 (Coronavirus Disease 2019) is caused by the novel coronavirus SARS-CoV-2, which was responsible for a viral epidemic that resulted in a catastrophic global pandemic. This virus has wreaked havoc on public health systems and economies all over the world, and many people are wondering if UV light can kill COVID and the Corona Virus-induced Black Fungus. The simple answer is, yes, in suitable conditions along with appropriate UVC germicidal lamps, you can.

UVC Lamps that are Effective in Killing COVID

UV light is a form of ultraviolet (UV) radiation emitted by the sun that has less energy than X-rays and gamma rays but more than visible light and radio waves. UVA, UVB, and UVC are the three large spectrums of natural UV rays emitted by sunlight. Natural sunlight can expose people to UVA and UVB rays, but most UVC natural rays are harmful.

UVC light is reproduced in germicidal UVC lamps, which have been shown to destroy a wide range of viruses and bacteria, including beta coronaviruses. SARS-CoV-2, like MERS (Middle East Respiratory Syndrome) and SARS, belongs to the beta coronavirus family (Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome). MERS and SARS have been shown to be eradicated by UVC light, and recent studies have shown that UVC lamps are also successful in destroying the SARS-CoV-2 virus that causes COVID-19.

Is COVID killed by UV light in liquid?

UV light is a powerful disinfectant and sterilizer that has been demonstrated to destroy viruses in water, on surfaces, and in the air. By destroying the nucleic acids of cells, UVC light effectively inactivates bacteria and viruses, rendering them unable to replicate. A non-replicating inactivated cell is considered harmless and incapable of spreading disease.

UVC light has been shown to be effective at destroying the SARS-CoV-2 virus that causes COVID-19 in liquid cultures, according to a recent study published in the American Journal of Infection Control (AJIC). UVC lamps are used in UV water disinfection applications such as wastewater treatment plants, aquaculture, pool and spa sterilization, and a variety of other applications.

Is UV Light Effective in Killing Covid on Surfaces?

UVC germicidal lamps have also been shown to be highly efficient at destroying SARS-CoV-2 on surfaces, with AJIC tests showing a 99.7% effective rate on laboratory surfaces. To achieve such a high efficacy rate for disinfecting surfaces, they must be clean and exposed directly. As a result, many hospitals and medical facilities have incorporated UVC light disinfection into their daily cleaning routines, using UVC robots and UVC lamps strategically placed in air and surface sterilization systems.

UVC lamps that emit light in the UVC range are the most effective at killing viruses and bacteria, whereas regular germicidal lamps that emit light at 254 nm are the least effective. Although this wavelength has been shown to be highly efficient, it can be harmful to human skin and eyes. As a result, certain germicidal lamps are designed to emit wavelengths between 207 and 222 nm, also known as Far-UVC light. Far-UVC light is also good at destroying germs and viruses while also being less harmful to the skin and eyes than other UVC lamps.

Is COVID killed by UV light in the air?

According to many scientists, one of the most common modes of transmission of the SARS-CoV-2 virus is through airborne particles, so sterilizing and disinfecting the air in enclosed spaces can help to prevent people from contracting the disease. UVC lamps in HVAC systems are an important way to sterilize the air and are used in a variety of commercial, manufacturing, and residential settings.

UVC light is effective at destroying airborne human coronaviruses, including those that cause the common cold and the SARS-CoV-2 virus, according to a recent study published in Scientific Reports.

UV light can be used to destroy the SARS-CoV-2 virus that causes COVID-19 in liquid, on surfaces, and in the air, based on what we know about ultraviolet light, specifically UV light emitted in the UVC range. Far-UVC light may be a good option for some disinfection applications because it poses fewer health risks to humans.

Quality UVC Lamps have been shown to kill Viruses, including COVID and Black Fungus

Servotech is known all around as a leading supplier of high-quality germicidal UVC lamps. Our UV disinfectant lamps can be used in a variety of applications for water, air, and surface sterilization all over the world.

Our engineers have extensive professional knowledge of UV radiation and lamp design, as well as a dedication to continuous improvement through R&D.

This is how you can use your oxygen concentrator’s cannula to its best

Cannula

If you’re on oxygen therapy right now or have ever needed oxygen, it was almost certainly supplied using a nasal cannula. The rubber prongs and associated tubing that are placed into the nostrils and run along the side of the face and around the back of the head are referred to as a nasal cannula. The term “nasal prongs” is also used to describe them.

Although it may seem self-explanatory how to use a nasal cannula with oxygen therapy equipment, there are a few things you should know about this vital oxygen treatment accessory.

If you buy or rent an oxygen concentrator from American Medical, it will come with a nasal cannula and tubing, as well as all of the other accessories you’ll need to get started using it right away. Because the cannula does not come with instructions, you can use this article as a guide.

The nasal cannula, which you breathe through, is one of the most critical pieces of a portable oxygen concentrator. It’s most likely something you’ve seen and linked to oxygen therapy. But maybe you’ve never thought about what it’s called or how it works.

The nasal cannula is the most popular oxygen therapy method, according to specialists. Because of its compact size, it’s a popular choice for oxygen delivery because it’s less cumbersome and obtrusive than a full oxygen mask. So, let’s begin by asking the simplest of questions:

What exactly is a nasal cannula, and when do I require one?

The nasal cannula is a device that is used to deliver supplemental oxygen to people who require it. Two small prongs rest in your nostrils and lead to clear plastic tubing that tucks over your ears and connects below your chin, delivering oxygen. Your oxygen concentrator is then connected to a single tube.

The device is often used to give low-flow oxygen, however, there are times when high-flow nasal cannulas are required. Patients with COPD and other respiratory disorders are provided supplemental oxygen for both short- and long-term oxygen treatments.

This crucial little information presents another important question to us:

Exactly how does a Nasal Cannula work?

Nasal cannulas are compatible with oxygen concentrators with settings ranging from less than 1 LPM (litres per minute) to 6 LPM (litres per minute), which is the range in which most people require their dosage. Because nasal cannulas are not restricting, they are also excellent for persons who want to stay active and mobile.

The only time you might have an issue is if you require a greater dosage, you’re in too much pain, or you need to use oxygen treatment while sleeping and the cannula won’t stay in place because you toss and turn too much. A face mask would be a preferable choice in these situations.

Nasal Cannula Cleaning and Replacement

Once a week, give your nasal cannula a thorough cleaning. It doesn’t take long to give it a nice rinse and sanitation. Being in a dark and moist environment, bacteria will grow quickly inside the prongs, thus keeping it clean is essential. If you are sick, you should clean it after each use every day.

Clean it with a solution of clean water, gentle detergent and a little bit of vinegar. Make sure the solution gets swished around well inside the prongs, and rinse it out thoroughly under clean running water. Hang it up and let it dry completely before using it again.

Clean it using a mixture of clean water, mild detergent, and a pinch of vinegar. Make sure the fluid is properly swished about inside the prongs before rinsing it out under running water. Before using it again, hang it up to dry thoroughly.

Knowing how to properly care for your nasal cannula can not only extend its life but also ensure that your oxygen therapy is successful in the long run.

A nasal cannula will last roughly two months if kept clean during its usual lifespan. Once a month, you should replace your nasal cannula. The rubber will degrade and develop small cracks, which will host bacteria and mould, which you don’t want to breathe in. Replacement nasal cannulas are affordable and should be purchased in bulk to avoid running out.

Dryness and discomfort in the nasal passages are two problems you could encounter. This is prevalent in the winter and for those who need to utilise oxygen therapy for long periods of time or at a high level. A tiny humidifier bottle would be handy in this situation. Many of the more powerful concentrators come with a humidifier that can be used in conjunction with them.

Ask your doctor how often the parts of your oxygen therapy equipment should be cleaned and replaced.

Cleaning other parts of your oxygen concentrator, such as the oxygen filter, on a regular basis will have an impact on the operation of your nasal cannula.

The Takeaway 

The nasal cannula is a little device that connects to your oxygen concentrator and is inserted into your nostrils. It is critical to your oxygen therapy since it delivers pure oxygen without being obtrusive or inconvenient.

You can ensure that your equipment operates properly for the rest of its life if you take adequate care of it. For cleaning advice, please consult your doctor and the manufacturer.

How Oxygen Concentrators are Literally Turning Out to be ‘Life Saving’

People are rushing from one corner to the other in order to arrange for hospital and ICU beds, life-saving medicine, ventilators, and, most crucially, ‘oxygen’ to rescue their loved ones as India grapples with the Coronavirus pandemic. The current state of affairs is such that getting these fundamental essentials has become extremely difficult since the availability of these items is far less than what the country needs to win this struggle.

Oxygen Concentrators have proven to be “life-saving” for persons who are in the slightest afflicted by COVID-19 and are attempting to heal at home due to a lack of hospital beds in these unprecedented times.

Oxygen Concentrators: Their Nature and Role

An oxygen concentrator is medical-grade equipment that is larger than a computer display in size. It works by concentrating oxygen from the surrounding air and making it easier for the patient to breathe.

The atmospheric air that we breathe in comprises roughly 78 percent nitrogen and 21% oxygen. The remaining 1% is made up of numerous gaseous gases.

This air is sucked into an oxygen concentrator, which filters it through a sieve/filter before releasing the nitrogen back into the atmosphere. A cannula is used to deliver filtered oxygen to the patient.

These concentrators provide 90-95 percent pure oxygen, according to research. “Concentrators may function and create oxygen 24 hours a day, seven days a week, and may last up to five years,” the World Health Organization (WHO) claimed in 2015.

Who requires an Oxygen Concentrator?

People should start using concentrators when their oxygen saturation level drops below 94 percent, as most Indian states are currently experiencing oxygen scarcity. It’s worth noting that an oxygen saturation level of 94-100 percent is regarded as safe and healthy.

These concentrators are most useful in patients whose oxygen saturation does not go below 90%, although they can even aid individuals whose oxygen saturation falls below 85%. Patients whose oxygen levels fall below this level will need a higher oxygen flow than these concentrators can provide.

Do Oxygen Concentrators of Different Types Exist?

Yes. Continuous flow and pulse dosage concentrators are the two main types of concentrators.

If not switched off, continuous flow concentrators continue to deliver the same amount of oxygen every minute. Pulse dosage concentrators are a little smarter, reading the patient’s breathing pattern and releasing O2 when inhalation is detected. The per-minute oxygen dispensation will differ in the second type.

How do Oxygen Concentrators differ from LMOs and Cylinders?

These are the best cylinder and LMO alternatives, which are difficult to travel and store. Furthermore, cylinders must be refilled, whereas concentrators may produce oxygen using only ambient air and a power supply for up to five years or more.

What should you look for before leasing out or purchasing an oxygen concentrator?

According to experts, a patient’s oxygen percentage in the lungs increases to 24 percent when given one liters of oxygen through a concentrator, 28 percent with two liters, and 60 percent with ten liters. The amount of oxygen per minute must be adjusted to meet the requirements.

A physician must be consulted to determine the amount of oxygen required per minute, and a pulse oximeter must be used to monitor oxygen saturation. The number of sieves/filters employed in the concentrator determines the quality of the oxygen produced, which is measured in liters per minute output rather than weight. These concentrators should weigh no more than 27kgs.

The quality of oxygen produced may deteriorate if the concentrator becomes hot while in use. As a result, it should only be used when absolutely necessary.

All in all, the upshot is that the coronavirus pandemic has sparked a massive increase in oxygen concentrator sales in India, with demand going through the roof. Previously, the demand for 40,000 concentrators each year was 40,000 per month, but currently, it is 30,000-40,000 per month. Clearly, with COVID-19 infecting roughly 4 lakh people on a daily basis, these concentrators have the potential to save the Indian healthcare system.

Thinking to Buy Lesser Than 5L Oxygen Concentrators? Think Again!

Whilst preparing to buy an oxygen concentrator, we’re often allured by features such as “Lightweight”, “Small”, and “Nimble”, among others. But from now on, these words are better taken as admonition than anything else. Why?

Well, last Monday, the Drug Controller General of India, also known as the DCGI, set out an advisory stating that those COVID patients who are in home isolation and are treating themselves on oxygen support must refrain from using oxygen concentrator devices that provide a flow less than 5L per minute.

Various types of oxygen concentrators are currently on the market, with differing capacities of continuous flow (1 to 10 liters per minute) and widely varying oxygen concentrations. Those in home isolation should use concentrators with a minimum flow of up to 5 liters res per minute or more, according to the drug regulator.

The recommendation is to use concentrators with oxygen sensors to check concentrations, as well as digital or analog meters that show the total number of hours the system has been running. It is recommended that oxygen concentrators with a capacity of less than 5 liters per minute not be marketed under the deceptive name of “home-based COVID treatment.”
Furthermore, it is also recommended that oxygen concentrators be purchased with the consumables needed to operate them, as well as user care guidelines and procedures, such as replacement instructions for accessories and consumables, as well as safe decontamination of reusable components, indicating whether they are generic or brand linked.

The Central Drugs Quality Control Organization (CDSCO) released the advisory to make people aware of minimum oxygen concentrator requirements for COVID-19 case management, especially for use in home settings.

In addition, continuous flow of concentrated oxygen (>90 percent) from room air through one oxygen outlet, a minimum continuous flow of up to 5L/min or more, oxygen concentrators with an oxygen monitor to verify concentration, and a digital or analog meter that displays cumulative hours of device activity, and oxygen concentrators with an oxygen monitor to verify concentration and a digital or analog meter that displays cumulative hours of device operation can be used in the home.
Considering the advisory and recommendations coming from the highest in bureaucracy and field specialists, only premium quality devices ought to be sought. Oxygen Concentrators manufactured by Servotech come in two variations a 5L model and a 10L version. These are equipped with an aluminum-magnesium alloy cooling fan and a French Molecular Sieve to keep any molecular particulate from interfering with its operation. Furthermore, the mechanism has an inbuilt pure copper oil-free compressor that ensures a continuous flow of oxygen at all times.

Another edge that these devices boast is that this unit features an HD LCD touchscreen and an on-the-go power-saving mode, which allows the oxygen supply to remain active while the patient is sleeping. The system is also simple to use and apply, and its operation does not necessitate any technical knowledge. In addition to its many features, these machines can comfortably fit into most spaces in your home and can be passed around without difficulty. Moreover, each provides 93 percent pure oxygen and is packed with a high-quality humidifier.

Lastly, the weight, which is often the con-word in these transactions, needs to be defined. This medical-grade oxygen generator weighs about 19-25kgs and comes with a pressure warning, a power off alarm, and an irregular voltage alarm, it also has an input AC of 220V and 50Hz, and uses less than 400VA of power when operating continuously for 2000 hours.

The upshot is that always go for quality products rather than lower prices, and to attest to that you even have a government-backed advisory, which is, so to speak, a myth-buster and also raises red flags that can massively impact our buying decisions. So, the next time you’re out buying a life-saving device such as an oxygen concentrator, you know more, and you can get the best.

To Buy an Oxygen Concentrator or Rent it? Here’s the Answer

Patients with lung disorders, such as low oxygen concentrator saturation when sleeping, shortness of breath (dyspnea), chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, or low blood oxygen levels, are administered oxygen treatment (hypoxemia). If you’re unsure whether to buy or rent, you should examine the benefits and drawbacks of both options before making a decision.

Who is advised Oxygen At Home?

Low blood oxygen levels necessitate the use of oxygen at home. This can occur as a result of COPD, asthma, infection, or surgery. Before handing out the portable concentrator, the dealers request a prescription. A trained physician must identify the problem and prescribe the portable concentrator as well as the exact dosage required.

What is an Oxygen Concentrator? How does it help?

An oxygen concentrator is a portable piece of equipment that you may take with you. It’s not like the previous oxygen tanks or stationary concentrators, which were extremely heavy and difficult to transport. An oxygen concentrator is a device that provides oxygen to people.

The oxygen concentrator filters, separate, and then draws air from the environment. After that, it compresses the air to the desired density and distributes purified oxygen to the patient. It also features filters that remove nitrogen from the air, ensuring that the patient receives only entirely purified oxygen. As it comes with modern technology, you can also alter the amounts of oxygen concentration and delivery settings. The patient can improve blood oxygen levels by inhaling oxygen through the mask.

Before deciding whether to rent or buy, there are a few things to consider

There are a few things to consider before renting or purchasing a concentrator:

  • Determine your needs before purchasing a portable oxygen concentrator to ensure you get the proper one.
  • Make sure you’re getting enough oxygen, and talk to your doctor about it. Varied people have different demands; some require it all of the time, while others only require it while sleeping, waking up, exercising, or strolling.
  • Lastly, determine whether you require a pulse or continuous flow, as one provides it only when it is required, while the other provides it continuously and acts accordingly.

There are also a few technical aspects and product attributes that you must run down:

  • The sort of batteries required, as well as how often they should be charged and when they should be replaced.
  • Confirm the warranty and the warranty duration.
  • Confirm the cleaning and maintenance requirements.
  • The volume level might be annoying if it is too high.
  • The unit’s size and weight, as most portable concentrators are tiny and easy to transport.
  • The accessories that come with it spare batteries, cannulas, and even a carrying case are vital, several companies offer them.  If these aren’t included, you’ll eventually have to purchase it on your own.

Advantages and Disadvantages of Renting an Oxygen Concentrator

For the following reasons, renting an oxygen concentrator may be a viable option:

  • The reason you require it. If it’s only for a brief period of time, such as after surgery or after it.
  • In some locations, renting is a flexible choice that allows you to prolong the rental duration as needed.
  • If you want to test the model before spending money in it to ensure that it is right for you.
  • If the supplier provides you with some fantastic incentives, such as free maintenance or discounts on spare batteries.

For the following reasons, renting an oxygen concentrator may not turn out to be a good option:

  • If the patient requires an oxygen concentrator for a longer period of time or as a permanent solution, the cost of renting will be wasted and may even exceed the cost of purchasing the oxygen concentrator.
  • Some vendors may not provide attractive offers such as accessory rentals.
  • Paying the rent on a weekly or monthly basis can be taxing and difficult on a mental level.
  • When renting a device, take extra precautions because you must return it in the same condition as when you received it, as per the manufacturer’s instructions.

The Benefits and Drawbacks of Purchasing a Portable Oxygen Concentrator

Investing in a portable oxygen concentrator might be advantageous for a variety of reasons:

  • If you’re aware that you’ll require the concentrator for a period of time longer than six months.
  • If you are familiar with the model you are about to purchase, either because you have used it before or because you have received feedback from others who have.
  • If you wish to own the equipment and be able to use it in the future if necessary.
  • If the manufacturer adds extras that make the purchase worthwhile.
  • If the supplier is offering you a good price.

For the following reasons, renting a portable oxygen concentrator may not be the best option:

  • It can be inconvenient to pay for a concentrator all at once.
  • If you just require an oxygen concentrator for a short time.
  • If the vendors do not provide maintenance on equipment that has been sold.
  • Your money may be squandered if the machine you purchased does not suit your requirements.

Oxygen Saturation and Concentrators, All that You Need to Know

The oxygen saturation levels in the blood that pass through the arteries of the body are known as blood oxygen levels (arterial oxygen). The oxygen and carbon dioxide levels in blood collected from an artery can be evaluated before they enter body tissues in an ABG test. The blood will be injected into an ABG machine (blood gas analyzer), which will provide you with a partial pressure of oxygen in your blood.

What are the Ideal Oxygen levels?

An equipment called a pulse oximeter can also be used to test blood oxygen levels.

  • A pulse oximeter’s typical oxygen levels are normally between 95 and 100 percent.
  • A blood oxygen level of less than 90% is considered low (hypoxemia).

ABG testing is commonly used to diagnose hyperoxemia, which is defined as blood oxygen levels above 120 mmHg. This is especially common in hospitals where patients are exposed to high supplementary oxygen pressures for long periods of time (3 to more than 10 hours).

By extracting blood from an artery in the wrist, elbow, or groin, you can examine your blood oxygen levels. When the needle enters the artery, you may experience a sharp pain. An ABG machine (blood gas analyzer) will be used to determine your blood oxygen levels in the form of partial pressure of oxygen (PaO2).

Use a pulse Oximeter to keep a tab on your Blood Oxygen Levels

A pulse oximeter is a compact, portable medical equipment that can be used anywhere. It’s most typically utilized when doctors need to swiftly determine your blood oxygen levels. It can also be used to track how your body reacts to specific drugs or extra oxygen. SpO2, or percent saturation of oxygen in the blood, is a measure of blood oxygen levels.

Blood oxygen levels are measured using a variety of ways. The most frequent methods for estimating oxygen saturation levels are blood tests and pulse-oximeter monitoring. Adults’ oxygen saturation (SpO2), or the amount of oxygen in their blood, should be between 95% and 100%. Hypoxemia is defined as a SpO2 level below 90%. The usual SpO2 range of 95 percent to 100 percent does not apply to persons with chronic lung diseases and other breathing issues. Individuals in this situation should speak with their doctors to identify the appropriate oxygen levels for their particular health situation. If blood oxygen saturation falls below 80%, it may affect heart and brain function, potentially leading to respiratory problems.

Oxygen concentrators are designed to supply oxygen to individuals affected with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) as well as chronic hypoxemia and pulmonary edema in higher concentrations.

Pulse oximetry is a test that uses a pulse oximeter to detect blood oxygen levels. The method is fairly straightforward and needs only a few seconds of clipping the pulse oximeter between either of the fingers. The reading is displayed on the screen of the pulse oximeter. This test is significantly less accurate than ABG testing, however, it is easier to do when time is of the essence. A pulse oximeter’s typical oxygen levels are normally between 95 and 100 percent. But if you have lung problems, your normal levels may differ. Your doctor will be able to tell you what levels are considered normal for you.

Oxygen Concentrators are a Blessing for those with Low Saturation

In COVID-19 patients, oxygen saturation of 92 or 93 is not regarded as crucial; rather, it is merely a buffer that allows the patient to get to the hospital on time. In addition, it was imperative that oxygen be used wisely.

Because COVID-19 hampers lung function, oxygen is critical in the treatment of individuals with severe COVID-19. One of the most common symptoms in people with severe COVID-19 is shortness of breath or trouble breathing. It also reduces the amount of oxygen delivered to different sections of the body. As a result, they require oxygen therapy, which is provided by medical oxygen.”

The training manual of the World Health Organization on pulse oximetry suggests, “If the oxygen saturation is 94 percent or lower, the patient should be treated immediately, a saturation level of less than 90% is considered a medical emergency.”

According to the most recent clinical advice for the management of adult COVID-19 patients, an oxygen concentration of less than or equal to 93 percent on room air necessitates hospital admission, while a concentration of less than 90 percent is defined as a severe disease, necessitating ICU admission.

COVID-19 is a disease that affects the lungs. It not only infects the respiratory tract, but it also has a significant impact on oxygen saturation levels in severe COVID-19 patients. Oxygen concentrators and cylinders are extremely beneficial in COVID patients due to oxygen depletion and rising lung infections. The air we breathe contains around 78 percent nitrogen and 21% oxygen, with the remaining 1 percent made up of various gases. Oxygen concentrators are machines that remove nitrogen from the air and supply pure oxygen to those whose blood oxygen levels (SpO2) fall below 93 percent. The ideal oxygen level of an individual is suggested to be between 94 and 99 percent.

Experts advise oxygen concentrators can be used in moderate cases of COVID-19 when the patient’s oxygen levels drop and the oxygen requirement is less than 5 liters per minute. They also warn that using a concentrator without medical supervision can be dangerous. Additionally, Oxygen concentrators are also beneficial for individuals who require oxygen therapy as a result of post-COVID-19 problems.

Patients suffering from moderate COVID-19-induced pneumonia who had an oxygen saturation of less than 94 percent could benefit from supplemental oxygen delivered through a concentrator, but only until they were admitted to the hospital. Patients who use it without seeking appropriate medical counsel, on the other hand, may be at risk. Concentrators may be helpful until patients are admitted to the hospital, but they should not be utilized without consulting a chest physician or an internal medicine expert.

Oxygen Concentrator and Oxygen Cylinder How Are They Different?

Is it more important for me to rely on a battery-life oxygen supply or oxygen concentrator? What is the best unit size for me? Do I want a big cylinder in the house or a small concentrator that I can pass around?

These are often the questions one finds oneself in while scouting for an appropriate oxygen support machine. But the task is easier said than done. However, we can help you make smart choices by dissecting through these two machines and making it easier for you to choose from. So, read on and grow smarter!

Both oxygen cylinders and oxygen concentrators are used to provide oxygen to patients who need it. However, the distribution mechanisms are vastly different. Oxygen Cylinders are more common in India, but Oxygen Concentrators are becoming increasingly popular among doctors and patients.

The biggest distinction is about how oxygen is delivered. Oxygen Cylinders have a finite amount of compressed oxygen that the consumer inhales before it runs out. Oxygen Concentrators filter and produce medical-grade oxygen offering an uninterrupted supply as long as the battery that drives the device is still alive.

On the contrary, patients with low oxygen levels in their blood will use an oxygen concentrator to purify the air and make it accessible to them. Cylinders do the same thing, except the oxygen in the tank is already compressed. The tank’s stock is steadily depleted until it runs out and must be refilled or replaced. Another key difference is that continuous Flow oxygen is delivered by all oxygen cylinders. It varies by system with oxygen concentrators, as some of the more compact options use pulse-dose delivery.

Unlike oxygen cylinders, which can run out of oxygen, an oxygen concentrator can never run out of oxygen as long as there is air and electricity. An oxygen concentrator removes oxygen from the air itself, allowing for an unrestricted and convenient supply.

A leaking oxygen cylinder raises the prospect of a fire, as does oxygen-saturated air. If a fire starts under these conditions, it will be more difficult to put out because oxygen-induced fires burn hotter than many other types of fires. Pulse-dose oxygen concentrators produce oxygen only when it is required, reducing the risk of leaks and thus flammability.

Spelling out the Pros and Cons of these two machines might give a deeper perspective:

Oxygen Tanks

Oxygen tanks hold pressurized oxygen that can be continuously released at predetermined flow rates to provide medical-grade oxygen to the patient. These devices are normally mounted on a rolling apparatus that allows them to be rolled alongside the patient, such as a small trolley or cart.

Pros

  1. There is no need for electricity. One of the most notable benefits of oxygen tanks is that they work by using the pressurized oxygen contained within them. Oxygen tanks can run without the use of a battery or an electrical outlet by releasing oxygen at one of many flow rate choices. This means that the tank will supply oxygen before the contents are exhausted.
  2. There are no beeps or noisy noises associated with using oxygen tanks since they simply distribute their contents at a set pace. This makes them suitable for use in quiet settings such as movie theatres or libraries, as well as for napping or being around those who need to be left alone, such as infants.
  3. Oxygen tanks are the most common form of personal oxygen, and as a result, they are frequently the most affordable, with the lowest initial cost of all the oxygen devices on the market. If the cost of the initial purchase is the most important factor, oxygen tanks are possibly the best option.

 Cons

  1. The weight and portability of oxygen tanks are two of the most widely mentioned drawbacks. Although wheel-mounted cart systems, such as this one from Drive Medical, make rolling oxygen tanks simple and convenient, the tanks themselves are very large. Because of the device’s weight, raising the tank—for example, loading it into a truck or bringing it up a stairwell—can be difficult.
  2. Oxygen tanks have a finite amount of oxygen in them, and if they’re empty, they have to be refilled or replaced with a new tank. Once the tank’s oxygen supply has been exhausted, it must be refilled or replaced with a new tank.
  3. Since oxygen tanks must be refilled or replaced regularly, their low initial cost adds up over time, making the long-term cost higher.

Oxygen Concentrators

Oxygen concentrators use a filtering device to take ambient air from around the patient, compress it, and change it to medical-grade conditions, rather than the small amount of pressurized oxygen used for oxygen tanks. These devices come in a variety of sizes, including larger home-style versions as well as smaller compact models that are better for traveling and moving around.

Pros

  1. Since oxygen concentrators are able to constantly draw in and handle air, unlike oxygen tanks, they can never run out of oxygen. Customers also mention this as one of the best features of oxygen concentrators.
  2. Concentrators do not need a thick metal tank because they do not use pressurized oxygen. This means they’re a lot smaller and easier to transport than most oxygen tanks. For maximum convenience, many oxygen concentrators are built to be carried in a backpack or side case.
  3. Oxygen concentrators come in a variety of sizes, types, and designs, each built to meet the needs of a particular user group. While most oxygen tanks are similar, concentrators offer a wider range of options to ensure you get exactly what you need.
  4. Although oxygen tanks must be refilled or replaced on a regular basis, oxygen concentrators use ambient air and therefore do not need the same long-term maintenance as tanks. All of the costs of your concentrators will be included in your initial order.

Cons

  1. Since oxygen concentrators do not use pressurized oxygen in a tank, they must rely on battery or electric power to filter air and deliver oxygen. The available charge in the battery must be considered, as it is for any battery-powered unit. If the battery is not charged, it will run out of power and the concentrator will shut down before it is recharged.
  2.  Oxygen concentrators draw oxygen from the air, filtering and compressing it for the consumer. Due to the various components at work, this method can be very noisy, and this is the most common complaint among concentrator users. While many newer concentrator models have been developed to minimize noise to almost undetectable levels, there is always still some sound associated with their workings.
  3. Oxygen concentrators are also very costly upfront due to the complicated processes at work. Despite the fact that, unlike oxygen tanks, this is a one-time purchase, many consumers will not be able to afford the high price tag all at once, even if it saves money in the long run.

Tips to Choose

  1. A concentrator or a tank will suffice if you’re looking for a nice, reliable oxygen therapy system to use in your home, hospital space, or other facility. On a mobile cart, oxygen tanks can quickly drive up and down the hallways of a home or hospital. However, if you plan to use your unit for travel, errands, or other more active work, an oxygen concentrator is a much better option, since it is lighter in weight and comes with a variety of carrying bags and cases.
  2. Oxygen tanks, in particular, come in a variety of sizes. Certain volumes may be better than others depending on the recommended oxygen flow rate and the length of time the tank will be used. Since oxygen concentrators have no fixed capacity, if you need a large amount of oxygen, a concentrator will save you money in the long run and will be more convenient for you because you won’t have to think about daily refills and tank replacements.
  3. When choosing an oxygen therapy system, as with any product, budget is an important factor to consider. Many people are drawn to the lower initial cost of oxygen cylinders, but it’s important to note that investing in a concentrator would save you money in the long run by eliminating the need for refills and tank replacements.
  4. Many oxygen tanks and concentrators provide transport accessories as an alternative. Wheel-mounted oxygen tanks, shoulder bags, and wheelchair attachments are examples. Depending on how you want to use your oxygen system, you may want to consider buying a device for holding and/or transporting it if you don’t already have one.
  5. There are a few other things to remember that may or may not be provided with your oxygen tank or concentrator. Oxygen tubing, nasal cannulas, and oxygen masks are all essential for proper oxygen therapy delivery, so if you don’t already have them, you may be interested in a product that contains them all in one package.

That’s basically all that you need to make an empowered and informed choice.
