@A MyCOPDTeam Member when my normal on constant flow was 2-3 I plugged my inogen g5 in on setting 3 to sleep and woke the next morning feeling fine. I wouldn't do it again unless I was in an emergency situation with no other option. Inogen tells people they can use it 24/7 and Inogen shouldn't because people will breathe differently at night.

>First off, you should discus it with your doctor.
>Secondly, it depends on how well you do with the POC as they are mostly all pulse dose. It is harder to get used to and to breathe with.
>Thirdly, your oxygen supplier can have a unit delivered ahead of time to any location you will be staying over night. You just need to set it up ahead of time. A lot of people use it for trips, hotels stays, cruises, even visiting family across the state.
>Last, I do it. I have an Inogen G5. I can plug it in and put a 7' hose on, it will keep me dosed well enough. The good and interesting part to that is the POC has an alarm which goes off if no breathe is detected. I was supplied to lear I do stop breathing several time during the night. I am only on 2L at night.

Hope that helps you make your decision. But we are all different and have our own ways to handle things. Breathe Ez........

I agree 100% with the computer above.
Have you tried to do it at home for a few hours with home unit readily available?
I personally have to be on a continuous flow machine and have very short trips with a POC. My ease of breathing changes pretty fast.
