Not all home oxygen equipment is the same, and not all patients
want or need the same home oxygen equipment.
Medical
oxygen equipment
In order to assess what medical oxygen equipment you will need to
be aware of the way you body will react to certain medications,
side effects and chemical issues can get in the way of your treatment.
Nebulizers
Nebulizers create a mist that is easy for you to breathe in. This
particular drug is actually in liquid form and is therefore not
prescribed in a canister. There are many different kinds of nebulizers,
also called “breathing treatment”.
Oxygen
Equipment
Do not always believe that one kind of oxygen equipment and treatment
is best for you just because a physician said it was the right answer.
Pulse Oximeters
Perhaps you have used a pulse oximeter and been satisfied with the
reading that it gave you, but do you really understand how and why
pulse oximeters work?
Oxygen Tanks
There are various sizes used to store Oxygen. Each size is used
for a purpose, such as, home use or for portable use.
Tanks
for dry oxygen
When using tanks for dry oxygen, you want to make sure that you
also use a humidifier. Using tanks for dry oxygen without a humidifier
is not really as effective, safe, or comfortable.
Tanks
for liquid oxygen
In tanks for liquid oxygen are concentrated, fluid/gasses that are
administered with a misty inhalation directly into the lungs.
