Oxygen Concentrators to Use at High Elevations

If you live in or visit the mountains, you know the air becomes thinner at higher elevations. Although your body can adjust after several days or weeks, there’s still less oxygen available for you to breathe. And less oxygen to breathe also means your oxygen concentrator has less oxygen to work with. Therefore, you need an oxygen concentrator with enough strength to operate at higher elevations.

If you’re planning a trip to the mountains, but your lung capacity isn’t what it used to be, consult your doctor to ensure you’re healthy enough. If you require supplemental oxygen on your trip, an oxygen concentrator may be the best option to keep you healthy. You’ll need to ensure you’re choosing a concentrator fit to work at high elevations.
