Many people saying that oxygen concentrators flow below 5L are useless. From a professional perspective, 1L and 3L oxygen concentrators also have value. But first of all, we need to figure out what situations oxygen concentrators with different flow rates can handle?
1. 1L oxygen concentrator is mainly used for health care. It is suitable for people with 0-1 level COPD and no symptoms. However, it may be more useful to quit smoking early and stay away from secondhand smoke at this stage.
2. 3L oxygen concentrator is a medical-grade oxygen concentrator that can operate continuously for 24 hours and is suitable for most people with cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases and the three highs. 3L oxygen concentrator with low noise, low power, and is also relatively energy-saving.
3. 5L oxygen concentrator is suitable for people with lung problems, especially those with very severe COPD, who have carbon dioxide retention. Usually these people have type 2 respiratory failure and need to use a ventilator, because users need 5L or higher oxygen flow input.
Briefly, if you are asymptomatic and want to maintain your health, choose 1L. If you have three highs and cardiovascular problems, choose 3L. But if the symptoms may continue to develop, choose 5L directly. If you have lung problems and carbon dioxide retention, choose 5L and use it with a ventilator.
