Embolism dissolved but litres stayed the same any suggestions ?
Don't understand
I have Copd and I.m on Hospic. They increased my oxygen to 5-8 but took away my protable oxygen concenrator because Hospic portable oxygen concentrator only goes to 4L. I need one for doing small errands and can't really afford to buy one. Thank You
I saw a machine in internet (am skeptical) that is made in China. Says it is continuous flow and goes to 7, weighs 10 lbs. since only one on internet, and from China, either rip off or scam

I seem to be terribly short of breath when I use the pulse dose on my portable oxygen tank. If I put it on continuous flow, I don't have this problem. Has anyone else had this experience? Any comments or advice?
My portable oxygen is pulse only. You must breath in to get the oxygen. Mine does not have continuous flow .
Also what is a recommendation for a continuous flow O2 for travel that goes over 5 lpm but not tanks?
I'm there already..
Hi -- asking for my dad who has severe emphysema and is on 5-6L continuous flow at home with a floor concentrator. Questions please:
1- What options does he have for use outside the home with that kind of flow requirement? Tanks? Liquid oxygen
2-With the tanks (like the tanks that can fit onto a holster on a wheelchair or rollators) -- how many hours use does that give / what size?
3 - What if he needs several hours of portable use -- what can we do? (We think his inogen G3 does not provide… read more
@A MyCOPDTeam Member I can give you blueprints on how to build a custom electric wheelchair to adapt to electrical so you can use a home concentrator which is only one that can give you enough… read more
Hello Elaine
I use a Philips Mini Portable Oxygen Concentrator (1.5 ltrs pm to 5ltrs pm) with capacity for 2hrs and 4 hrs battery capacity running time at 3litres per minute on pulse rate. I use it… read more
My second Phillips simply go packed it in , I'm not wanting to take a risk on another one.
I love m Inogen g3. You can buy an extra battery. My batteries last 4 hours. I have 2 so theoretically I have 8 hours available.
My father wants to buy my husband a portable oxygen machine that he can carry. What would you recommend? He currently has the large blue machine at a 3 setting (I apologize not sure of names). He has the small brown machine as well with a cart but just find it does not give him enough, it is an old machine.
What is out there, for something you can carry, puts out enough oxygen and has a hopefully fairly long battery life? Best place to get a machine from as well, since this will be a… read more
I am on 3 lpm continuous....have s Sequal Eclipse 5 and 3 is its highest setting. Its very heavy to pull/push around. The short battery life is a HUGE problem as it prevents me from flying to see my… read more
There are units that can deliver pulse flow or constant, but the trade off is you lose battery time with it. The g5 if you are using setting 4 only gives you about 4 hrs of 02 at that setting.
And cat proof hoses (sigh)
