How many hours should a COPD patient use oxygen?

This is set by your doctor based on your SpO2 levels and diagnosis — commonly ranging from a few hours daily to continuous 24/7 use for advanced cases.

Can I sleep with an oxygen concentrator?

Yes, many COPD patients are prescribed overnight oxygen therapy. DeVilbiss concentrators run at under 50 dB, quiet enough for bedroom use.

Is oxygen therapy safe for long-term use?

Yes, when used as prescribed and monitored by your doctor. Oxygen concentrators are designed for continuous, everyday operation.

Can I use an oxygen concentrator during a power cut?

Standard concentrators need mains power; ask us about battery backup or portable options if power reliability is a concern.

Do I need a doctor’s prescription for oxygen therapy?

Yes — a prescription specifying the flow rate (LPM) and duration is required before starting home oxygen therapy.

Oxygen Concentrator for COPD

Breathe Better. Live Better.

COPD makes it harder for the lungs to take in enough oxygen. For patients whose blood oxygen levels drop below a safe range, doctors often prescribe Long-Term Oxygen Therapy (LTOT) using an oxygen concentrator to ease breathlessness and support day-to-day comfort.

How Oxygen Concentrators Help COPD Patients

Eases Breathlessness

Supplemental oxygen reduces the effort of breathing for COPD patients with low blood oxygen levels.

Supports Long-Term Oxygen Therapy

Continuous use as prescribed helps maintain safe SpO2 levels and can reduce complications over time.

Improves Daily Activity

Steadier oxygen levels help patients stay active with less fatigue and shortness of breath.

Fewer Hospital Readmissions

Consistent home oxygen therapy helps stabilise chronic COPD symptoms between doctor visits.

Who Can Benefit?

Low oxygen levels (SpO2 below 90%), confirmed by a doctor
Frequent breathlessness during daily activities
Diagnosed COPD, emphysema or chronic bronchitis requiring LTOT
A doctor-prescribed flow rate, typically 1–10 LPM depending on severity
Want to improve exercise tolerance and daily comfort

About COPD

Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) is a group of lung conditions — including emphysema and chronic bronchitis — that cause inflammation and narrowing of the airways, making it progressively harder to breathe and absorb oxygen efficiently.
