Oxygen Pro Canister with Inhaler Cup - 15 litres of 99.5% Pure Oxygen Cylinder - Patented Compact Compression Tech - Improves Concentration, Performance, Recovery – Perfect for Sport, Study & Travel

Product Information

Some models can provide individuals with as much as 12 hours of continuous oxygen, making it possible for people who use supplemental oxygen to travel or partake in more remote activities without worrying about running out of oxygen. Respiratory support techniques including tracheal intubation, invasive ventilation and non-invasive ventilation (NIV) (CPAP is included).

While stationary oxygen concentrators deliver a continuous flow of oxygen, portable oxygen concentrators can either provide a continuous flow or a pulse mode, explains Bacheler. Batteries on pulse mode POC devices have a much longer life than those on continuous flow concentrators, according to Bacheler. It comes with a convenient travel bag and can supply round-the-clock oxygen with battery, AC and DC power options.An alternative surrogate for alveolar oxygen saturation is SpO2, oxygen saturation obtained with pulse oximetry. They’re also helpful tools for those on the go, and unlike stationary oxygen concentrators, they are battery-operated and don’t need an electrical outlet. The percentage is indicated by comparing FiO2, a fraction of inspired oxygen in the air, to a transportable oxygen device. Since oxygenation is reduced in the supine position, fully conscious hypoxaemic patients should ideally be allowed to maintain the most upright posture possible (or the most comfortable posture for the patient) unless there are good reasons to immobilise the patient (eg, skeletal or spinal trauma) (grade D). Portable oxygen concentrators provide individuals who need supplemental oxygen outside of their home with a much more lightweight and mobile solution.

In patients with COPD, there have been suggestions to begin supplemental oxygen when the SpO2 drops below 88%. To use a portable oxygen concentrator, begin by attaching the nasal cannula (the device that helps deliver the oxygen to the nose) and turning on the device. It consists of a face mask connected to a reservoir bag that’s filled with a high concentration of oxygen. Initial clinical assessment and subsequent monitoring of acutely unwell patients should include the use of a recognised physiological ‘track and trigger’ system, such as the NEWS which may trigger clinical review due to hypoxaemia, need for supplementary oxygen or for other reasons (grade D). I am aware of the Y connection option with two units which we do have available, but would prefer not to go that route if we can get a higher flow unit.Clean a portable oxygen concentrator using a mild dish soap and water, taking care to keep water away from the nasal cannula tubing. Such conditions can include anemia, asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), lung cancer, heart failure and congenital heart disease. Against this background, the Standards of Care Committee of the British Thoracic Society (BTS) established a working party in association with 21 other societies to produce an evidence-based guideline for emergency oxygen use in the UK. Humidified oxygen is most effective when the gas reaching the alveoli is at body temperature (37ºC) with a relative humidity of 100%.
