More and more people are using oxygen therapy outside the hospital, permitting them to lead more active, productive lives. There are different ways to deliver oxygen therapy in the home and our therapists will work with each patient to find the safest and most appropriate way to do so.

The oxygen concentrator is an electric oxygen delivery system. The concentrator extracts some of the air from the room and separates the oxygen from other gases in the air. Oxygen is then delivered to the patient through a nasal cannula or a mask. Portable oxygen concentrators are available for traveling patients.

When liquid oxygen is warmed, it becomes a gas so it can be delivered to the patient. A liquid oxygen system includes a large stationary unit that stays in the home. It also includes a small, portable canister that can be filled from the large unit for trips outside the home.

Compressed oxygen comes in a tank that stores oxygen as a gas. A regulator is attached to the tank to adjust the oxygen flow. These tanks may vary in size. A special type of regulator, Oxygen Conserving Devices (OCD’s), conserves oxygen and smaller tanks provide hours of oxygen while the patient is away from home.
