Oxygen – “Breathing on the Go”
We know that oxygen is a necessity for living. It won’t be an exaggeration to say that Oxygen is Life!
Oxygen is fuel for our bodies. Not only that, but breathing is our body’s chief cleansing tool too. Our body burns billions of cells and hence the toxic is eliminated through oxygen. You see, our body can store up food and liquid, but it can’t store oxygen. Every minute that we are alive, we must continually provide our cells with a stream of fresh oxygen.
Medical Oxygen Dependent People
People who can’t get enough oxygen on their own due to certain sickness are prescribed with oxygen therapy. These people are with lung disorders such as:
- Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease
- Pneumonia
- Asthma
- Bronchopulmonary dysplasia, (underdeveloped lungs in newborns)
- Heart failure
- Cystic fibrosis
- Lung disease
- Trauma to the respiratory system
These people suffer from shortness of breath and hence require medical care at hospitals or homes with portable gas cylinders. Some people experience shortness of breath or declining lung function over time, leading them to struggle to get enough oxygen.
How Portable kits are Beneficial
In the long-term, regular oxygen therapy can significantly improve the quality and length of life for people with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. Many of the people may need to receive oxygen therapy for at least 15 hours every day. A 5-liter oxygen cylinder can last up to 5-6 hours if used continually.
Different types of oxygen therapies are used. These include:
- oxygen gas
- liquid oxygen
- oxygen concentrators
- hyperbaric oxygen therapy
Most of these oxygen therapies are portable pressurized in a cylinder tank. This portable system does not limit our lifestyle. An oxygen cylinder contains pressurized oxygen that can be continuously released at a specific flow rate to provide medical grade oxygen to the patient. The advantages of these portable tanks are:
- No power is required: Oxygen tanks can operate without any requirement of any battery or electrical outlet.
- Silent: These systems do not make any loud or beep sounds. It works peacefully without making any noise.
- Low Cost: These tanks are inexpensive making it easy to purchase.
Oxygen therapy is done from tubes resting in your nose, a face mask, or a tube placed in your trachea, or windpipe. Oxygen therapy can be for a short or long period in the hospital, another medical setting, or even at home. Oxygen is stored in gas or liquid form in special tanks. These tanks can be delivered to your home and contain a certain amount of oxygen that will require refills.
Kit Components
The simple or low flow face mask is used for the short-term, such as post-operative recovery. Oxygen is delivered at a rate of 2-10L/min and supplemented with air drawn into the mask during breathing. Then tubes are used for connecting facemask and gas cylinders which supply oxygen to the mask. Oxygen Flow control regulators are connected with the cylinders and are pressure reducing devices designed to regulate or lower oxygen pressure from a cylinder to levels that can be safely used by the patient.
A regulator simply regulates the flow from an oxygen cylinder. For holding and transporting gas cylinder trolleys are used which make it easier to move without any fuss. These are made with high- quality plastic, stainless steel with attached wheels to make it move easily. These trolleys can also carry any heavy or lightweight cylinders.
