Choosing Portable Oxygen
As you get older and experience different health concerns it may become necessary that you use portable oxygen in your daily life. You should be aware that this is one of the most important purchases that you can make. It can affect your daily life greatly if you don’t get the oxygen machine that is correct for what you need. Everyone needs to breathe correctly in order to have a happy and productive life. These machines will help you accomplish that when you cannot do it on your own anymore for whatever medical reason. Portable oxygen will help you live an active life much longer if you have a medical need for prescription oxygen.
Choosing the right Oxygen is an important decision. You must first decide which style of oxygen machine is right for you. There are basically two types of oxygen machines. These two types are Pulse and Continuous Flow. Pulse delivers the oxygen to the patient in little puffs that are spaced out from each other. Also easy to decipher by the name, Continuous Flow oxygen machines deliver a constant stream of concentrated oxygen to the patient throughout the day.
If you have a more serious need for concentrated oxygen you will probably want to use the continuous flow model than the pulse model. The pulse models are better for those who only need to use their oxygen machines for certain times like when they exercise or if they have breathing issues when they are asleep. The pulse models are also much lighter and easier to carry around because they hold less oxygen and are lighter. The pulse models are also much more beneficial for those who use oxygen who like to travel a lot. These are all factors to consider when purchasing your oxygen machines.
They do make oxygen concentration machines that are continuous flow that are small and light enough for travel. Some of them are a little too cumbersome for travel as when they are full they can weigh up to 18 lbs. That is why people who travel or who are very active and on the go might prefer the pulse models for the concentrated oxygen. It is important to consider what your lifestyle is when purchasing an oxygen machine for your daily use. It is also important to consider how heavy a machine it is that you want to carry around. No one wants to carry around oxygen but choosing the right machine can make it much easier on your daily life in the long run.
