Living with COPD
Our commitment to the patient's quality of life
It is very important to establish healthy lifestyle habits:
-
Maintain a balanced diet
-
Practice physical exercises
-
have a good night's sleep
Home oxygen therapy
If blood oxygen levels are low, it may be necessary to administer oxygen from an external source.
There are different alternatives that will allow you to continue maintaining an active life:
- fixed oxygen concentrator
- portable oxygen concentrator
- portable liquid oxygen
- oxygen bottle
Your doctor will tell you the most suitable option and how many hours to use it.
Afterwards, a specialized company like VitalAire will install it in your home, explaining how it works and providing support and attention throughout the process.
