Some elderly people are not in good health and often suffer from hypoxia. They will prepare a home oxygen concentrator at home to absorb oxygen in time. So, how many times a day is it appropriate to inhale oxygen?
In fact, the time and frequency of oxygen inhalation need to be determined according to the condition. If the body has a hypoxic disease, oxygen can be inhaled about every hour. If the disease is more serious, the oxygen inhalation time may need to be extended.
If you have chronic obstructive pulmonary disease or chronic pulmonary heart disease, you need to inhale oxygen for a long time, and keep it for more than 10 to 15 hours. When inhaling oxygen, you must keep low flow, oxygen inhalation, not high flow oxygen inhalation , If high-flow oxygen inhalation may also cause increased carbon dioxide retention in patients.
When inhaling oxygen, we should also pay attention to humidifying the inhaled oxygen, and the concentration should be controlled at 2 to 3 liters per minute. The specific method of oxygen inhalation depends on the patient’s condition to determine the occurrence of hypoxia. It is also necessary to go to the hospital for examination in time, and take a targeted conditioning plan under the guidance of the doctor. During the treatment, you should also pay attention to rest to avoid affecting the recovery of the disease.
