Oxygen Therapy
Oxygen therapy can be delivered in numerous ways, and at Advanced Home Care, our Best Fit program helps patients find the model that works best for them.
Our respiratory therapists begin by examining the patient’s lifestyle and physiological needs:
- Do they need occasional oxygen or continuous oxygen?
- Do they travel?
- How much weight can they physically carry?
- Do they need a small tank that be carried or a larger tank on wheels?
- Is a portable concentrator the best fit?
Then, they identify the system that best meets the patient’s needs and show the patient how to use the equipment. This can include lessons in oxygen safety, teaching the patient breathing exercises to increase lung function, explaining how to travel while using oxygen therapy and showing the patient how to change out the oxygen tank. Our respiratory therapists are also available for ongoing consultations in case patients need help selecting a new oxygen therapy system to meets any changing needs.
