1. What is Oxygen?

Oxygen includes 21% of the atmosphere at all altitudes. The remaining atmosphere consists of 78% nitrogen and 1 % traces of other gases. Oxygen under normal conditions is an odorless, colorless, tasteless, non-combustible gas. It is the most important single element on earth. At each breath we fill our lungs with air. Millions of tiny air sacs (known as "alveoli") in our lungs inflate like tiny balloons.

Oxygen is source of life. Nevertheless, modern city people suffer from various illnesses especially because of oxygen scarcity symptom due to the lack of oxygen in the air. Moreover the increasing air pollution aggravates the oxygen scarcity.

2. What are the benefits of oxygen?

Oxygen is the most needed compound in the human body. The human body can live weeks without food, days without water, but only minutes without oxygen. Oxygen helps keep our blood flowing, our bodies functioning properly, and aids in helping to fight infections and rid the body of toxins.

4. What is oxygen therapy?

Oxygen therapy is any supplemental process that safely increases the available dissolved oxygen content in the body. Therapies may also include processes that enhance the body's ability to use or promote oxygen absorption. People with asthma, emphysema, chronic bronchitis, occupational lung disease, lung cancer, cystic fibrosis, or congestive heart failure may use oxygen therapy.

5. How do I get tested for Oxygen Therapy needs?

The primary test for oxygen levels in the blood is called an Arterial Blood Gas test (ABG). Freshly oxygenated blood from the lungs is distributed throughout the body via your arteries, and returns to your heart via your veins. To measure accurately the oxygen levels in your blood, it is necessary to take a small sample of your blood from an artery. A Respiratory Therapist or physician usually performs this test. The blood is then run through a blood gas analyzer and the results are available instantly. This is how your doctor knows if you need supplemental oxygen, how much oxygen to put you on, and whether it is working or not.

Another test to measure oxygen saturation in the blood is called Pulse Oximetry. This is a small infrared sensor device that is clipped to your finger or ear and can measure your oxygen saturation density through your skin.

6. What Oxygen Therapy Does For You?

Receiving home oxygen therapy offers a number of substantial benefits for patients. For instance, sleep disruption due to low oxygen levels will be reduced by using supplemental oxygen.  Oxygen therapy has also been known to help improve concentration and memory.  Those suffering from oxygen starvation often feel weak and listless.  Receiving oxygen increases energy levels and provides an overall feeling of well being.  Clinicians often recommend a combination of supplemental oxygen and regular exercise to improve patient's quality of life.

12. What type of oxygen systems are available and how do I know which one will best fit my needs?

There are 3 types of oxygen systems available and your individual lifestyle will depict what will work best for you:

The most common type in use of home oxygen system is the Oxygen Concentrator .  This device is basically maintenance-free and is very safe and easy to use. The unit is an electrically powered device that separates oxygen from the room air, concentrates and delivers it at your prescribed rate and due to this technology, never needs re-filling. This system is less expensive than liquid oxygen and eliminates the need for re-supply of oxygen cylinders.

Compressed Gas - this is oxygen stored under pressure in a cylinder equipped with a regulator that controls the flow rate. 

Liquid Oxygen - is oxygen stored as extremely cold liquid in a vessel very much like a thermos.  The liquid converts to gas upon release and you breathe it in the same as compressed gas. 

13. How long should I use the oxygen concentrator?

It is best to use supplemental oxygen as soon as you arrive at your high altitude destination for 20 minutes or more, when you sleep, and as symptoms dictate. In other words, “If you are feeling bad, use the oxygen.”
