During the summer months, many of our patients at AMSR hit the road by car or take a flight to explore new places and revisit old ones. Traveling with oxygen does not have to be complicated as long as everyone is prepared and educated!
Before taking off for some summer fun, the first thing to do should be to check with your physician. Let them know that you’re planning a trip; make sure that any restrictions on your activities are discussed. It’s also wise to have copies of any prescriptions with you, including one for oxygen, just in case something comes up along the way. Things to discuss with your doctor should include: traveling at higher altitudes than usual, going to areas of high pollution, extreme temperature or humidity and seasonal allergies.
