Have you being prescribed portable oxygen concentrators(POC)? If your answer is yes, you probably have a lot of question on how you should get started. There are several factors that you will need to consider such as where to get the portable oxygen concentrators, the size of the concentrators and the way it is going to impact your life.

How will it impact your life?

There are many factors that will affect the way POC impact your life. However, one of the major ones is mobility. Since it is usually small and light in weight, it has been noted to make it easy to engage in normal activities like shopping. However, the FAA regulations do not allow travel with the portable oxygen tank but  POC allows you to take a flight any time. However, it is important to check with your airline before you can start travelling.

Choosing the right one for you

There are several factors that you will need to consider before choosing a machine that will suit your need. What do you think you will be doing when using the machine? Do you need the POC machine for walking or exertion? Is it for wearing when asleep? When you get answers to these questions, it will be easy for you to narrow down your choice. There are some machines that are made to provide a constant flow of oxygen when sleeping or during exertion. There are also other machines that are the light choice for people searching for a lighter option.

If you are searching for a machine that you  can use when asleep or together with the CPAP machine, the continuous flow POC can be a good option. If you need a machine that you can flow with, be sure to select an FAA approved machine.

Steps to buying POC

Before you choose a POC, you will need to consider your individual needs. It is advisable to consult your medical practitioner before buying a portable oxygen concentrator especially when you need a pulse dose or sleeping machine.
