Intro to Travel CPAP Machines

CPAP therapy is the most widely used treatment for sleep apnea. People on CPAP therapy must use their CPAP machines every night during sleep to avoid health complications caused by sleep apnea and insufficient sleep.

What is the Normal Oxygen Level? How to Check Oxygen Saturation Level

What is the Normal Oxygen Saturation Level?

If you have COPD any other chronic lung condition, you probably know what it means to have a lower than normal blood oxygen saturation level. Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease is just one example, but it means that your lungs’ ability to bring in enough oxygen is compromised. The tiny air sacks in your lungs have been damaged, so you can’t absorb enough oxygen through these sacks into your bloodstream.

It’s important to have a certain level of oxygen, versus a certain level of carbon dioxide in your blood at one time. The carbon dioxide is carried back to your lungs, where it is breathed out when you exhale. The oxygen you breathed in gets delivered to every part of your body, as part of the fuel you need to keep your body working properly.

Oxygen Troubleshooting – Why Would an Oxygen Concentrator Stop Working

Why Would an Oxygen Concentrator Stop Working

Just like any other piece of electrical equipment, an oxygen concentrator can stop working due to technical issues or after it’s gotten over a certain age. You might also have instances where it can malfunction due to an outside influence, with no problems in the concentrator itself.

If an oxygen concentrator is not providing oxygen, it could be due to several different reasons. The system in an oxygen machine is made up of a few intricate parts that all work together to purify and deliver medical-grade oxygen, so you can breathe it in.

However, before you call a maintenance technician, you can do some troubleshooting on your own to see if you can fix the problem yourself. Sometimes, the cause of a big problem can be a small and easy fix.
