It is always unavoidable to get sick in life, especially for the elderly. After all, their physical quality is poor. Many families will have home oxygen generators, which can be used when the elderly are sick and can alleviate the disease. However, the home oxygen generator is not used casually. There are still many precautions. Correct use will make the home oxygen generator work longer. What are the precautions for the use of domestic oxygen generator?
1. Patients who buy oxygen concentrators should read the instructions carefully before use.
2. When using the oxygen generator, avoid open fire to prevent fire.
3. The oxygen generator shall be placed stably, otherwise the noise of the oxygen generator operation will be added.
4. The water level in the humidification bottle should not be too high (the water level should be half of the bottle body), otherwise the water in the bottle is easy to escape or enter the oxygen pipe.
5. When the oxygen generator is not used for a long time, please cut off the power supply, pour out the water in the humidification bottle, scrub the surface of the oxygen generator, cover it with a plastic cover, and store it in a dry place without sunlight.
6. When the concentrator is started, do not place the floating ball of the flow meter at the zero position.
7. Special attention shall be paid when filling the oxygen bag with the oxygen generator. After the oxygen bag is filled, the oxygen bag intubation must be pulled out first, and then the oxygen generator switch must be closed. Otherwise, it is easy to form the negative pressure of the water in the humidification bottle and enter the oxygen generator, which will cause the oxygen generator fault.
8. During transportation and storage, it is forbidden to lay horizontally, upside down, wet or direct sunlight!
With the advent of portable oxygen supply devices and the development of domestic oxygen sources, some patients with chronic respiratory diseases and persistent hypoxemia can receive oxygen therapy at home. Family oxygen therapy generally uses oxygen bottles and oxygen generators, which have obvious effects on improving the health status of patients, improving their quality of life and exercise endurance.
