2. Portable oxygen concentrator - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Portable_oxygen_concentrator

   A lightweight portable oxygen concentrator: Inogen One G3 (2,2 kg) Sequal Equinox, transportable concentrator with a high oxygen flow rate A portable oxygen concentrator (POC) is a device used to provide oxygen therapy to people that require greater oxygen concentrations than the levels of ambient air.

3. Oxygen concentrator - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oxygen_concentrator

   Usually, "demand," or pulse-flow, oxygen concentrators are not used by patients while they sleep. There have been problems with the oxygen concentrators not being able to detect when the sleeping patient is inhaling. Some larger portable oxygen concentrators are designed to operate in a continuous-flow mode in addition to pulse-flow mode.

4. High altitude breathing apparatus - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High_altitude_breathing...

   Pulse dose (also called intermittent-flow or on-demand) portable oxygen concentrators are the smallest units, which may weigh as little as 2.3 kilograms (5 lb) Their small size enables the user to waste less of the energy gained from the treatment on carrying them. The unit administers a set volume (bolus) of oxygen enriched air at the start of ...

   Oxygen piping and regulator with flow meter, for oxygen therapy, mounted in an ambulance Oxygen is widely used by hospitals, EMS , and first-aid providers in a variety of conditions and settings. A few indications frequently requiring high-flow oxygen include resuscitation , major trauma , anaphylaxis , major bleeding , shock , active ...

6. Pressure swing adsorption - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pressure_swing_adsorption

   Rapid pressure swing adsorption, or RPSA, is frequently used in portable oxygen concentrators. It allows a large reduction in the size of the adsorbent bed when high purity is not essential and when the feed gas (air) can be discarded. [7] It works by quickly cycling the pressure while alternately venting opposite ends of the column at the same ...

7. Heated humidified high-flow therapy - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heated_humidified_high...

   Heated humidified high-flow therapy, often simply called high flow therapy, is a medical treatment providing respiratory support by delivering a flow of oxygen of up to 60 liters per minute to a patient through a large-bore or high-flow nasal cannula. Primarily studied in neonates, it has also been found effective in some adults to treat ...
