What is an oxygen concentrator? Who needs to use it?

Oxygen concentrator

  對多數人來說,呼吸是一件再自然不過的事;對某些人來說,「好好呼吸」卻是一份奢侈的渴望。而「製氧機」正是為了這樣的需要而誕生的貼心科技。
      簡單來說,製氧機是一種將空氣中的氧氣濃縮後,輸出高濃度氧氣的裝置。透過內部過濾系統,直接從空氣中提取氧分,提供穩定、安全的氧氣來源,使得製氧機特別適合用在家中、長照機構或日常行動不便的族群身上,提供長時間的氧氣輔助而不需頻繁更換耗材。

      For most people, breathing is as natural as can be. For some, however, "breathing well" is a luxury they long for. The oxygen concentrator is a thoughtful technology born out of this very need.

      Simply put, an oxygen concentrator is a device that concentrates oxygen from the air and outputs a high-concentration supply. By using an internal filtration system, it extracts oxygen directly from the air, providing a stable and safe oxygen source. This makes oxygen concentrators particularly suitable for use at home, in long-term care facilities, or for individuals with limited mobility in their daily lives, as they provide long-term oxygen support without the need for frequent replacement of consumables.
 

誰需要使用製氧機?
製氧機的使用對象,常見包括以下幾類族群:

Who Needs to Use an Oxygen Concentrator?

 

The common users of oxygen concentrators typically include the following groups:

  • 慢性肺部疾病患者:如慢性阻塞性肺病(COPD、肺氣腫、肺纖維化等,患者因肺部功能退化,無法有效從空氣中攝取足夠氧氣,長期吸氧有助於減緩惡化、提升生活品質。
  • 曾住院或接受過呼吸治療的人:出院後在家中繼續氧氣輔助,能降低再住院的機率。
  • 長照族群與高齡長者:年紀增長會導致肺功能下降,部分長者在活動時會出現氣喘、疲憊感,間歇性使用製氧機能協助改善氧合狀態。
  • 心肺手術後的復原者:手術後短期內需額外氧氣支持,協助身體恢復。
      若您或親朋好友經常感到呼吸急促、容易疲憊、夜間胸悶,建議尋求醫師診斷是否需要氧氣治療輔助,而輔助使用製氧機不只可以減緩疾病症狀,更是一種生活的陪伴與照顧,我們相信,只要好好呼吸,每一天都能活得更有力氣!
  • Patients with Chronic Lung Diseases: For individuals with conditions like chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), emphysema, or pulmonary fibrosis, whose lung function has deteriorated. Since they can't effectively get enough oxygen from the air, long-term oxygen therapy helps slow down the decline and improves their quality of life.
  • Individuals Who Have Been Hospitalized or Received Respiratory Therapy: Continuing oxygen support at home after discharge can help reduce the chance of readmission.
  • The Elderly and Individuals in Long-term Care: As we age, lung function naturally declines. Some seniors may experience shortness of breath and fatigue during activities, and the intermittent use of an oxygen concentrator can help improve their oxygen levels.
  • Individuals Recovering from Cardiopulmonary Surgery: These patients often require temporary oxygen support after surgery to help their bodies recover.

      If you or a loved one often feel short of breath, easily fatigued, or have chest tightness at night, we recommend seeking a doctor's diagnosis to see if oxygen therapy is needed. Using an oxygen concentrator for support isn't just about alleviating symptoms; it's also a form of companionship and care. We believe that when you can breathe well, every day can be lived with more strength!
