Methods of oxygen therapy with household oxygen generator

1. Oxygen should be inhaled especially at night.
2. Choose the time of oxygen therapy scientifically; for some patients with mild hypoxia, oxygen therapy for half an hour to 1 hour a day is enough; for patients with severe bronchitis, cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases and severe asthma It is said that family oxygen therapy experts recommend more than 12 hours of oxygen therapy every day to ensure enough oxygen for the day.
3. Select an appropriate oxygen flow rate; for patients with general hypoxia, an oxygen flow rate of 2L-3L/min can be selected for oxygen therapy; for patients with severe hypoxia, an oxygen flow rate of more than 5L/min is more suitable . It is best to consult the relevant treating physician and choose the oxygen flow rate according to the actual condition of the patient.
4. The water in the humidification water tank should be replaced frequently; generally speaking, when the water in the humidification water tank is slightly turbid, it is necessary to replace and clean the humidification water tank at this time. Family oxygen therapy experts suggest changing the water in the humidification water tank every day and cleaning it, so as to ensure the hygiene of oxygen use.
5. Nasal plug and nasal suction oxygen tubes should be cleaned and disinfected regularly; it is best to disinfect daily, and new nasal plug and nasal suction oxygen tubes should be replaced every week. The combination of the third point and the fourth point can maximize the hygiene of oxygen inhalation.
6. Pay attention to the safety measures during oxygen therapy; since oxygen has combustion-supporting properties, it should be kept away from open flames when inhaling oxygen, and should be placed in a cool and ventilated place when not using a household oxygen generator.
