Oxygen Concentrator On Rent in Chandigarh

What is an Oxygen Concentrator?

​

​

As per a very simple definition, as provided by Wikipedia,

​

"An oxygen concentrator takes in air and removes nitrogen from it, leaving an oxygen enriched gas for use by people requiring medical oxygen due to low oxygen levels in their blood"

​

In general Oxygen Concentrators is a type of Medical Device that helps in delivering oxygen to patients with respiratory disorders, for example, Asthma, breathing problems coming with climate change, COPD, Pneumonia, etc. On the other hand, people with low oxygen concentration in their bloodstream require assistance to manage breathing through Oxygen Concentrators.

​

There was a time when the only available source for patients having breathing problems was through the bulky oxygen tanks. However, these too being very effective, the only problem was the regular visit of the suppliers to replenish the oxygen cylinder regularly.

​

One should remember that these are not available for over the counter purchases. Get a doctor's prescription for easy buy. A doctor must prescribe it after they’ve completed a thorough medical evaluation. Further, the doctor gives all the direction for its effective usage.

​

What are the Uses and Reasons for an Oxygen Concentrator?

​

There are many reasons for an oxygen concentrator and doctors can recommend oxygen support to their patients for various medical conditions. Typically, your lungs absorb the air’s oxygen, transferring it into your bloodstream.

​

If you’ve had bloodwork or pulse oximetry recently performed to assess your oxygen saturation levels, and you were found to have low levels of blood oxygen, your doctor may recommend short-term or long-term oxygen therapy.

​

You’re probably wondering what is an oxygen concentrator used for? Acute conditions usually require short-term oxygen therapy. These conditions normally run for a short period of time. They may have a sudden onset of symptoms versus chronic conditions where things occur gradually. However, some respiratory or chronic conditions require long-term oxygen supplementation.

​

Acute Conditions and Oxygen Concentrator:

1. Asthma:
   - Inflamed airways and excess mucus hinder breathing.
   - Oxygen concentrators efficiently provide high oxygen levels during or post-asthma attacks.

2. Pneumonia:
   - Lung infection causing inflammation and fluid accumulation.
   - Prescribed oxygen therapy yields positive clinical outcomes.

3. Respiratory Distress Syndrome (RDS):
   - Affects newborns, causing collapsed lungs.
   - Oxygen concentrators reduce complications by pumping oxygen into the bloodstream.

4. Bronchopulmonary Dysplasia (BPD):
   - Severe lung condition in newborns, often after RDS.
   - Requires long-term breathing support; oxygen may be needed post-surgery.

​

Chronic Diseases and Oxygen Concentrator 

1. Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD):
   - Affects 16 million, causing chronic lung damage.
   - Oxygen concentrators alleviate breathing difficulties in COPD patients.

2. Cystic Fibrosis:
   - Inherited life-threatening condition damaging digestive and lung systems.
   - Oxygen concentrators support individuals with altered fluids.

3. Sleep Apnea:
   - Serious sleep disorder with intermittent breathing cessation.
   - Oxygen therapy may be required for some with sleep apnea, alongside CPAP and lifestyle measures.

​

How Does an Oxygen Concentrator Work?

​

Using an oxygen concentrator is relatively simple, but it's important to follow the instructions provided by your healthcare provider and the manufacturer to ensure safe and effective use. Here are some general guidelines for using an oxygen concentrator:

1. Plug the concentrator into a power source and turn it on.

2. Adjust the flow rate as prescribed by your healthcare provider. The flow rate is typically measured in liters per minute and can be adjusted using a dial or button on the concentrator.

3. Connect the tubing from the concentrator to the nasal cannula or mask.

4. Place the nasal cannula or mask over your nose and/or mouth, and adjust it for a comfortable fit.

5. Begin breathing normally. The concentrator will purify the air and deliver oxygen to your lungs.

6. Monitor the oxygen saturation levels with a pulse oximeter, as prescribed by your healthcare provider.

7. Keep the concentrator clean and well-maintained to ensure optimal performance. This may include regular cleaning and replacement of filters as per the manufacturer's instructions.

8. Use the device as prescribed by your healthcare provider. It's important to use the concentrator as directed, to ensure you're getting the right amount of oxygen for your needs.

9. Keep the concentrator in a well-ventilated area and away from flammable materials.

10. Contact your healthcare provider if you experience any difficulty or discomfort while using the concentrator.

How to Use an Oxygen Concentrator

You just need to set up the machine properly, turn it on, and adjust it to the prescribed flow rate before putting on your mask or nasal cannula. 

There are just a few things to keep in mind. Remember to:

• The oxygen concentrator must be a foot or two away from furniture

• Start the machine 15 to 20 minutes prior to the use so that it can distribute an accurate concentration of air

• Smooth out any bends in the tubing before beginning the treatment

• If you want low levels of oxygen, you can use the mask. However, for high levels, insert the nasal cannula.
