What Is Next Step When You Have COPD (19%) And Oxygen Concentrator Is Between 4-5 And Still Seems Like Not Enough?

Also what is a recommendation for a continuous flow O2 for travel that goes over 5 lpm but not tanks?

There are electric stationary concentrators that go to 10 LPM. You can get regulators for tanks that also go to 10 LPM, but tanks don't last long when used at high LPMs. There is no small (less than 10 pounds) portable oxygen concentrator that produces more than 1.26 LPM. It doesn't matter what the settings are; they're just numbers. A setting of 5 or 6 will produce a very small amount of 02 for each breath with the pulse dose delivery.

Go to www,runningonair.net/oxygen for a list of FAA approved POCs with all the information you need about how much 02 the machines actually produce.

Doctor told me I could get lung reduction surgery but as I can't totally quit smoking, I am not eligible. So my next is probably the end. I have had rough life and good times as well so no regrets.
