How to use home oxygen therapy?
📢📢Home oxygen therapy is a treatment method that improves the body's hypoxia by inhaling oxygen. It is usually suitable for patients with respiratory diseases such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), cor pulmonale, bronchial asthma, etc.
How to use home oxygen therapy
✅ Choose the right oxygen inhalation equipment: Home oxygen therapy equipment mainly includes oxygen concentrators, oxygen cylinders and liquid oxygen tanks. Oxygen concentrators are the most commonly used equipment. They physically separate nitrogen and oxygen in the air to provide high-concentration oxygen. Oxygen cylinders and liquid oxygen tanks are suitable for patients who need to go out.

✅ Adjust the oxygen flow rate: Adjust the oxygen flow rate according to the doctor's advice. Generally speaking, the oxygen flow rate of patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease should be controlled at 1-2 liters/minute to avoid carbon dioxide retention.
✅ Choose the oxygen inhalation method: Common oxygen inhalation methods include nasal cannula oxygen inhalation and mask oxygen inhalation. Nasal cannula oxygen inhalation is suitable for patients with mild hypoxia, and mask oxygen inhalation is suitable for patients with more severe hypoxia.
✅ Pay attention to the oxygen inhalation time: It is generally recommended to inhale oxygen for at least 15 hours a day to maintain the body's oxygenation state.
Precautions for home oxygen therapy
☑️ Fire, oil and shock prevention: Oxygen is a combustion-supporting gas, so it should be kept away from open flames and flammable materials. Avoid smoking or using alcohol-containing items while inhaling oxygen. At the same time, oxygen cylinders should avoid severe vibration to prevent explosion.
☑️ Keep oxygen inhalation equipment clean: Clean the nasal cannula or mask regularly to avoid bacterial growth. The water in the humidifier bottle should be changed every day to keep the respiratory tract moist.
☑️ Monitor blood oxygen saturation: Use a finger pulse oximeter to monitor blood oxygen saturation and adjust the oxygen flow rate according to blood oxygen saturation.
☑️Regularly evaluate the effect of oxygen therapy: Within 60-90 days after the start of oxygen therapy, the efficacy evaluation should be carried out to determine whether oxygen therapy needs to be continued.
☑️Follow the doctor's advice: Home oxygen therapy should be carried out under the guidance of a doctor, strictly follow the doctor's advice, and do not adjust the oxygen flow or stop oxygen therapy on your own.
