Oxygen Therapy
There are many ways to deliver oxygen therapy:
- A concentrator that extracts oxygen from the air – Most commonly used in the home. It runs on electricity.
- Compressed gas in cylinders – Can be used out of the home on shoulder straps or on a wheeled cart.
- Liquid oxygen in reservoirs – Can be used out of the home on shoulder straps or on a wheeled cart. Always keep the unit upright. Placing the unit on its side can cause the oxygen to evaporate.
