Any disease that affects the heart or the lungs could eventually become severe enough to require use of oxygen in the home. Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD), which usually is a combination of emphysema and chronic bronchitis, is the biggest offender. Patients with cystic fibrosis, asthma, and those with congestive heart disorders would be other candidates. Patients with occupational diseases, such as asbestosis and "farmers lung" may require home oxygen therapy.
Usually this is determined by taking samples of arterial blood; this normally is a hospital procedure.
Some people are given additional oxygen temporarily, while others require it on a long-term basis. The doctor will determine how long a patient should receive oxygen, how much should be received, and whether it's delivered continuously or less than 24 hours a day.
Not directly, but by increasing the amount of oxygen the patient inspires into the lungs, the lack of oxygen at the tissues or cells (called hypoxia) can be greatly improved. Supplementary oxygen relieves many of the adverse symptoms and greatly improves the overall quality of life for the patient.
The purpose of oxygen is to help the patient feel better and do more without becoming fatigued. If symptoms such as headache, drowsiness, fatigue, or increased irritability persist, notify your doctor.
Patients only receive the quantity of oxygen necessary to satisfy body needs. This is in no way addictive.
They will sleep better, be less irritable, remember better, have more energy and suffer fewer depressions. They tolerate exercise better and usually face fewer hospitalisation days. In general, these patients will live happier, more productive lives.
Once the condition exists, the need for oxygen to relieve symptoms usually remains. The physician may use several different methods such as blood tests, ear oximetry, or testing pulmonary functions to determine the patient's capability to oxygenate themselves properly.
A specialist physician who will determine the appropriate delivery flow rate generally prescribes oxygen therapy. There are various funding opportunities available, which vary from state to state. Please ask your physician or local (DeVilbiss) representative for advice.
An oxygen concentrator is an electrically operated device that draws in room air, separates the oxygen from other gases in the air, and delivers the oxygen at high concentrations to the patients.
