Ambulatory oxygen

Qashquai, I can only say from my experience of what my Mum had at home for 48 hours before she died last August.  It was a hefty piece of equipment.  I didn't profess to be an expert on home oxygen therapy.  My experience is of over 36 years as a registered nurse in an acute hospital setting, in surgical wards, which is entirely different.

Yes you are right - totally different.  I do hope the O2 helped your Mum in her last hours.  As far as I know all the portable concentrators, which are very small, are made in America where they are widely used.  Our NHS supply the large "hospital" type ones for patients at home.  If you want a portable one you have to do as I did and buy it yourself.

Thank you, Qashqai. Mum found it a comfort to have, although it didn't really help as she was already too poorly. At least she was at home.

Hello

I'm looking for an update on this. Please see my posting here: https://www.caravanclub.co.uk/club-together/discussions/welcome-hobby-talk/caravan-motorhome-chat/caravanning-with-an-oxygen-concentrator/

I'm looking to contact someone who has used a portable oxygen concentrator whilst caravanning. The machines are not cheap so I'd like some unbiased opinions from people who have actually used them.

Thanks.

Photo4x4 have a look at Qashqai's comments on page 1 of this thread.

If you need more details it may be worth while writing to Rowena asking her if she can contact Qashqai to see if you two can email each other. Unfortunately this system doesn't support a PM function.

Q hasn’t been active here for over a year. I hope all is well.

Good idea, WN. 👍🏻

Hello Anieb1

My wife is in the same situation and we were wondering how you got on.

I don’t think Annie has visited the forum since 2016, Photo. She writes site reviews so is still out and about👍🏻
