Using Oxygen While You Sleep

Using Oxygen While You Sleep

Everyone breathes differently when they are asleep. When you’re sleeping, your body slows down, your breathing becomes shallower, and you take in less air in each breath. This can be dangerous for people with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) or other lung conditions. Many people with breathing problems prop themselves up with pillows while they sleep to avoid having trouble breathing but propping yourself up with pillows won’t help this problem.

Philips Respironics SimplyGo vs. SimplyGo Mini Concentrator Comparison

Today’s portable oxygen concentrators (POCs) are compact and lightweight. The on-the-go concentrators make it easier to cope with chronic respiratory issues. Without giving up much of your independence, you can continue to pursue an active lifestyle. By using a POC, you will no longer be tethered to a wall for power, but you can go about your day for even up to 9 hours!

The Philips Respironics SimplyGo and the Philips Respironics SimplyGo Mini are two POCs that the same manufacturer makes, yet satisfy different oxygen needs. When comparing them, the most significant difference is in size, oxygen delivery modes, and battery life. The SimplyGo is larger and heavier but offers pulse dose oxygen delivery as well as a continuous flow option. The SimplyGo Mini is about half the size with a battery that lasts twice as long but only can accommodate a pulse dose oxygen delivery option.

Let’s look at the details of these two machines to choose which unit is right for you based on your individual needs.

“WHAT AN AMAZING EXPERIENCE!!”

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Review from Santina on Nov 26, 2022

What an amazing experience!! Deborah Montelli, Oxygen Specialist is indeed a “SPECIALIST.” She provided excellent customer care; her product knowledge is apparent as she guided me through the process of purchasing a Home Oxygen Concentrator. Her caring attitude was apparent. I had lots of questions and concerns and she listened and provided the answers I needed to make an informed decision. She alleviated a lot of my fears, by providing information on how I could obtain a key piece of documentation in order to obtain my unit. The previous 13 other companies I inquired with, did not even come close to Oxygen Concentrator Store! Kudos as well to the Manger, Aaron Searls who listened as I shared by comments and concerns. I WILL definitely will RECOMMEND this company and its PROFESSIONAL STAFF to EVERYONE I know!
