What are the functions of household oxygen concentrators?

Household oxygen concentrators are not limited to patients, but can also be used by ordinary people, as long as they are adjusted to a suitable concentration. The human brain consumes 20% of the body's oxygen, and the brain is particularly sensitive to hypoxia. Insufficient oxygen supply leads to physical exhaustion, dizziness, insomnia, memory loss and loss of appetite and other symptoms, affecting people's intelligence and work efficiency.

Oxygen inhalation can enhance the metabolism of human cells, tissues and organs, enhance the function of various organs, improve the body's immunity, and have a good prevention and treatment effect on cerebral insufficiency, cerebral infarction, coronary heart disease, asthma, nerve failure and other diseases. Oxygen inhalation can enhance the aerobic metabolism of human cells, increase nutrition, increase elasticity and reduce wrinkles. **Enhanced metabolic function of cells, which can reduce melanin, make ecchymis fade, and beautify the skin.

Oxygen inhalation can also improve hair follicles, promote hair growth, and prevent hair loss. With the increase of age, arteriosclerosis and pulmonary function decline, the arterial blood oxygen partial pressure in the body gradually decreases, and it is more obvious in smokers.

The operation of the brain has a lot to do with oxygen, and many white-collar workers now belong to high mental workers, so they often have some symptoms of hypoxia, such as insomnia, dizziness, forgetfulness, and other symptoms, and oxygen therapy can effectively improve these symptoms. Today, China's chronic diseases show a blowout state, so why this situation occurs, mainly due to the impact of the living environment, and the influence of daily living habits, and hypoxia is the "source of all diseases" oxygen can be said to be the foundation of the human body, the three highs of the elderly, respiratory diseases, a big reason is the problem of hypoxia in the body, and the use of home oxygen generator oxygen therapy, can prevent chronic diseases caused by hypoxia. There are some women, **dull, colorless, dull, this reason is that the body cells are in a state of lack of oxygen, all huddled together, like an inflated balloon, and insisting on oxygen therapy can effectively improve the problem of dull skin and dark spots.

Oxygen concentrator is a type of machine that produces oxygen, and its principle is to use air separation technology. Firstly, the air is compressed at a high density, and then the different condensation points of each component in the air are used to separate the gas and liquid at a certain temperature, and then further distillation.

There are many benefits of oxygen therapy from oxygen concentrators, and there are mainly the following 10 points to summarize:

1.Relaxes nerves, relieves nervous fatigue, relaxes the body and mind, maintains energy, and improves work efficiency;

2.Improve the oxygen supply to the brain, regulate the function of the brain nervous system to a certain extent, improve memory and thinking ability and learning efficiency;

3.Reduce pollution and harm to the body in harsh environments; To a certain extent, it can delay aging and enhance metabolism;

4.Improve the symptoms of hypoxemia and meet the needs of tissue metabolism;

5.alleviate pulmonary hypertension caused by hypoxia, alleviate polycythemia, reduce blood viscosity, reduce the burden on the right ventricle, and delay the occurrence and development of pulmonary heart disease;

6.Oxygen can relieve bronchospasm, reduce dyspnea, and improve ventilatory dysfunction;

7.Improve patients' physical fitness and brain function, improve exercise endurance and quality of life;

8.Improve the quality of life and prolong the life of patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease;

9.Reduce the number of hospitalizations and save medical costs;

10.It can reduce postoperative infections and antiemetic.

It should be noted that the duration of oxygen therapy and the size of the flow should be carried out under the guidance of a doctor or professional.

First, the use of oxygen from home oxygen concentrators in older adults is beneficial for the maintenance of cardiopulmonary function. Regular oxygen inhalation can maintain and strengthen the lungs' ability to absorb oxygen and prevent the onset of cor pulmonale. Although it is more popular to use diet for cor pulmonale, I believe that in the future, oxygen therapy will also become a popular method for cor pulmonale.

In addition, the elderly can prevent vascular atherosclerosis, everyone should be familiar with the word "vascular atherosclerosis", but many friends only hear its name and do not know its meaning (including me, although I know that oxygen generators are helpful in preventing vascular atherosclerosis, but I don't know the pathogenesis and manifestations of this disease). Blood vessels are the channels that transport blood, and blood is the only carrier of oxygen, and arteriosclerosis is the lack of elasticity of blood vessels, when the body's tissues need a large amount of blood, the heart accelerates its work to pump more blood. Due to the reduced elasticity, the blood vessels of the elderly cannot dilate as well as the younger ones, so there is a lack of blood supply, and ischemia = lack of oxygen.

In addition, arteriosclerosis is also one of the reasons for high blood in the elderly.

Working principle of oxygen generator: using molecular sieve physical adsorption and desorption technology. The oxygen generator is filled with molecular sieve, which can adsorb nitrogen in the air when pressurized, and the remaining unabsorbed oxygen is collected and purified to become high-purity oxygen.

The molecular sieve discharges the adsorbed nitrogen back into the ambient air when the pressure is reduced, and the nitrogen can be adsorbed and oxygen can be produced during the next pressurization, and the whole process is a periodic dynamic circulation process, and the molecular sieve is not consumed.

Today, I will take you to understand how to choose an oxygen concentrator and what parameters need to be paid attention to when buying an oxygen concentrator? What does it all mean?

1.Whether it is atomized or not

If you need the nebulization function, you should pay attention to choosing a medical oxygen concentrator with nebulization function. If you don't know what type of oxygen concentrator you should use, you can go to Yiliu Baba** to consult a relevant professional.

2.About the oxygen concentrator brand

3.Learn about the structure of an oxygen concentrator

In fact, the structure of the new molecular sieve oxygen generator is very simple, and there are only two core components, molecular sieve and air compressor. Of course, the oxygen concentrator also contains other components, including a flow regulation system, an air filtration system, an alarm system, and more.

4.There are two parameters of oxygen concentrator: oxygen concentration and oxygen flow

The concentration and flow of oxygen are interdependent, because the oxygen inhalation method of the oxygen concentrator is nasal suction tube, so even if the oxygen discharged by the oxygen concentrator is pure oxygen, there is inevitably the problem of oxygen dilution when entering the nostrils.

In medicine, there is a formula for the diluted concentration after nasal inhalation of pure oxygen: inhalation concentration = 21 + 4 oxygen flow. If the oxygen concentration of the oxygen generator is high concentration of oxygen (>90%), when 1L of flow inhalation, our actual inhaled oxygen concentration is 21+4 1=25%, that is, our actual inhaled oxygen concentration is 25%, and in order to achieve the purpose of oxygen therapy, our actual oxygen inhalation concentration needs at least 30% oxygen.

Therefore, in order to achieve the oxygen therapy effect, we need at least 2L of high concentration oxygen (>90%) of the flow rate to meet the demand, that is, at least 2L of oxygen concentrator. (PS: The oxygen concentration of the oxygen generator decreases with the increase of the flow rate, and the oxygen concentrator that can maintain more than 90% of the oxygen concentration when the flow rate reaches 2L is called 2L machine).

5.Learn about oxygen concentrator noise

For patients who need to use oxygen concentrators for a long time, it is inevitable to use them for a long time, usually more than 8 hours, and if the oxygen concentrator is too noisy, it may affect the patient'Sleep quality, which is also crucial for patients with respiratory diseases, is therefore important to choose an oxygen concentrator with less noise.

6.Learn about oxygen concentrators

The general brand ** is also around 2000-3000. Household oxygen concentrators are generally more than 1,000 yuan. It is necessary to analyze and purchase according to the specific situation of the user and their own economic strength.

7.Some other component detail factors

Other aspects depend on the flow regulation system of the oxygen concentrator, whether the panel operation is convenient, etc., and you need to be patient when choosing. There are many types of oxygen concentrators on the market, so when choosing an oxygen concentrator, you need to compare a lot and choose products with excellent quality and high cost performance for purchase.

Advantages of home oxygen concentrators::

1. Soothe the fatigue of the human nerves, make the body comfortable, relax the mood, and feel the head and feet.

2. Change the amount of oxygen supplied to the human brain, promote brain circulation, enhance brain memory and thinking, and be conducive to study and work.

3. It can improve the quality of oxygen in the increasingly polluted atmosphere, which is conducive to the health of human health.

4. For people with bronchitis and other difficulties in expiratory and inhalation, it can effectively improve the efficiency of ventilation and breathing.

5. For patients with hypoxemia, chronic lung disease and heart disease, it can improve the physical fitness, body tissue metabolism, brain function, etc., and improve the quality of life of patients.

Disadvantages of home oxygen concentrators:

1. Dry respiratory secretions. Oxygen is a dry gas that can make the respiratory tract bright and dry after inhalation, and the secretions are viscous and difficult to cough up. Therefore, oxygen must be humidified before being inhaled.

2. Oxygen poisoning. Long-term, high-concentration oxygen therapy is predisposed to cause oxygen toxicity.

Physical Principles:

The structure of the oxygen generator adopts the adsorption performance of molecular sieve, and through the physical principle, the nitrogen in the air is separated from the oxygen by the power of a large-displacement oil-free compressor, and finally a high concentration of oxygen is obtained. This type of oxygen concentrator produces oxygen quickly and has a high oxygen concentration, which is suitable for oxygen therapy and oxygen health care for various populations. The power consumption is low, the cost of an hour is only one dime and eight cents, and the use price is low.

Technical features:

It is characterized by the fact that the oxygen absorbed by the rockbridge directly increases the oxygen content of the arterial blood, rather than acting on a certain part of the body to indirectly improve hypoxia, but only increasing the oxygen that the body has been ingesting continuously in its lifetime. There are no substances that are unfamiliar to the body, need to be adapted, and need to be analyzed, so they only improve the natural physiological state and biochemical environment of the body, rather than changing it.

Low-flow oxygen therapy and oxygen care do not require special guidance, the effect is rapid and certainly beneficial and harmless, oxygen therapy has the effect of relieving the symptoms of hypoxia in time, but it has only a partial and gradual effect on eliminating the cause of hypoxia.

Oxygen therapy is the main means of correcting physiological hypoxia and environmental hypoxia, and preventing and treating diseases caused by environmental hypoxia. Oxygen therapy is an important adjunct to correcting pathological hypoxia. For emergency rescue, oxygen therapy is one of the important means.

The 1 liter oxygen concentrator is only suitable for health care use, suitable for the elderly, students, white-collar workers, pregnant women, high mental workers, etc.

In the United States, small household oxygen concentrators have become very best-selling health care products many years ago, and choosing a good oxygen concentrator can help us carry out oxygen health care scientifically. In order to achieve the purpose of disease, alleviate symptoms, promote, prevent lesions and improve health.

Clinical practice has proved that oxygen, with its unique mechanism, can play an effective role in acute and chronic ischemic and hypoxic diseases and secondary diseases caused by hypoxia in various clinical departments.

Appropriate oxygen inhalation also improves microcirculation, reduces the respiratory system load necessary to maintain a certain alveolar gas oxygen partial pressure, and reduces the myocardial load necessary to maintain a certain arterial blood oxygen partial pressure.

Therefore, in clinical medicine, preventive medicine, emergency medicine, geriatric medicine, health care and other aspects, oxygen therapy and oxygen health care have an irreplaceable important role and broad development prospects.

Suitable for people with oxygen therapy and oxygen health care:

1. Respiratory diseases: pneumonia, bronchitis, chronic bronchitis, viral respiratory tract infection, asthma, emphysema, cor pulmonale, etc.

2. Cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases: hypertension, heart disease, coronary heart disease, myocardial infarction, cerebral thrombosis, cerebral ischemia, cerebral vertigo, atherosclerosis, etc.

3. Plateau hypoxia: high-altitude pulmonary edema, acute mountain sickness, chronic mountain sickness, plateau coma, plateau hypoxia, etc.

4. People who are susceptible to hypoxia: middle-aged and elderly people, pregnant women, students who have been engaged in mental work for a long time, company employees, and government officials; People who have been engaged in underground or confined space operations for a long time, people who are overworked and have insufficient oxygen supply, etc.

5. Other people who need oxygen therapy: people who are weak and sick, people with poor body immunity, heat stroke, gas poisoning, drug poisoning, etc.
