2. Portable oxygen concentrator - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Portable_oxygen_concentrator

   A Zen-O portable oxygen concentrator; it is capable of pulse and continuous flow operation. The most important consideration for a POC is its ability to supply adequate supplementary oxygen to relieve hypoxia (oxygen deficiency) during normal activities and based on the patient's breathing cycles.

3. Flow-restricted, oxygen-powered ventilation device - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flow-restricted,_oxygen...

   The main components of flow-restricted, oxygen-powered ventilation devices include An inspiratory pressure safety release valve. A trigger or level positioned to allow both hands to remain on the mask to provide an airtight seal while supporting and tilting the patients head. A peak flow rate of 100% oxygen at up to 40 L/min.

4. Resuscitator - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Resuscitator

   A resuscitator is a device using positive pressure to inflate the lungs of an unconscious person who is not breathing, in order to keep them oxygenated and alive. [citation needed] There are three basic types: a manual version (also known as a bag valve mask) consisting of a mask and a large hand-squeezed plastic bulb using ambient air, or with supplemental oxygen from a high-pressure tank.

5. Oxygen therapy - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oxygen_therapy

   Oxygen therapy, also referred to as supplemental oxygen, is the use of oxygen as medical treatment. [1] Supplemental oxygen can also refer to the use of oxygen enriched air at altitude. Acute indications for therapy include hypoxemia (low blood oxygen levels), carbon monoxide toxicity and cluster headache.

6. Demand valve oxygen therapy - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demand_Valve_Oxygen_Therapy

   Demand Valve Oxygen Therapy (DVOT) is a way of delivering high flow oxygen therapy using a device that only delivers oxygen when the patient breathes in and shuts off when they breathe out. DVOT is commonly used to treat conditions such as cluster headache , which affects up to four in 1000 people (0.4%), [ 1 ] [ 2 ] [ 3 ] and is a recommended ...
