Best advice for PF symptom management | When you are getting close to 10L/minute on your home oxygen concentrator. Get ready to buy 2nd 10 L/minute same concentrator. Buy plastic “Y” attachment ( bought a few sizes from amazon to ensure i got one that would fit. Then connect both tubings. Set bith concentrators and their water bottle on each to same oxygen setting. (example, 6 and 6 to get 12). This will give you more oxygen to enable you to get around the house better. It works but you may not hear of it from your doctor. I learned from pulmonary fibrosis warriors in USA. |
