How to chose oxygen generators and ventilators at home
From a personal protection point of view, be health conscious at all times. Recently, many friends are asking, "Is it necessary to prepare oxygen generators and ventilators at home?" How to choose? The author is here to clarify your doubts:
Oxygen is an essential part of the body's metabolic process and is essential for sustaining life. Hypoxia is the most common cause of cell damage and an important cause of death from many diseases. Short-term hypoxia will generally cause compensatory changes in the human body, the main manifestations are suffocation, fluster, dizziness, lethargy, breathing deepened and accelerated, rapid heartbeat. Long-term hypoxia can lead to increased peripheral cardiac burden, decreased cardiac contractile force, resulting in arrhythmia and heart failure, and the risk is also more likely to occur in the nervous system and peripheral, causing cerebral infarction and peripheral blood thrombolysis. In severe cases, hypoxic pulmonary vasoconstriction, pulmonary hypertension, acute pulmonary edema and other symptoms may occur, causing permanent organ damage and seriously threatening life and health.
The role of household oxygen generator and ventilator is different, and the problem is different!
In simple terms, the ventilator blows out air, and the oxygen generator outputs a high concentration of oxygen. A ventilator works differently from an oxygen generator
Oxygen generator: is a machine that produces oxygen, like a precision filter, using molecular sieve physical adsorption and desorption technology to extract high concentration of oxygen from the air and release it to the user.
Increase the oxygen content of the inhaled air and improve the symptoms of hypoxia in the body.
Ventilator: Like a blower or air pump, the air is properly pressurized and delivered to the user's airway, acting as an air support to keep the airway open and help fresh air enter the airway.
Secondly, the scope of application of ventilators and oxygen generators is different.
Oxygen generator: suitable for sub-healthy people, mental workers with occasional mild hypoxia, pregnant women, people with respiratory system, cardiovascular and cerebrovascular problems, people with hypoxia, people who need long-term oxygen inhalation, etc.
Ventilator: Suitable for people who can not breathe smoothly, mild to moderate obstructive sleep apnea, it is recommended to choose a single level ventilator. For people with severe obstructive, central, and mixed sleep apnea combined with obesity, COPD, and neuromuscular problems, dual-level ventilators are more appropriate.
In general, for patients with minor respiratory diseases or for people who use oxygen therapy for health care, it is recommended to use portable oxygen generators that are convenient to carry and have adjustable flow rates, especially the oxygen enrichment meter. The weight of the oxygen enrichment meter is only 650g, built-in lithium battery, portable, patented mask type oxygen inhalation, and truly "anytime, anywhere, at your heart" oxygen inhalation. Clean oxygen-rich air timely oxygenation, away from chronic hypoxia.
