Your Oxygen Concentrator Should Be Set To A Safe LPM That Is Still Enough Concentrated Oxygen - Oxygen Assistant
Are you wondering if you can get too much concentrated oxygen, and what LPM to set your concentrator to. The answers you’re looking for are here.
When you are getting concentrated oxygen, many people think the more they can get the better. That’s definitely not the case when it comes to using an oxygen concentrator for supplemental oxygen.
After reading this short article and watching the video on this page, you’ll know exactly what to set your liters per minute to whether you’re using your concentrator alone or with a partner at the same time.
Too much oxygen does have negative side effects so you’ll want to avoid those by sticking to what’s recommended
For the average person, about 1.5 to 2 liters per minute of oxygen is plenty. The only reason you’d want to set your oxygen machine to a higher LPM is if your Doctor specifically tells you you should.
If you have a condition that requires you to get more your doctor will let you know.
In the case that you are using your concentrator with another person at the same time, you’ll want to set the LPM to somewhere in the range of 3 to 4 liters per minute.
Always remember to reset the machine to the correct LPM (liters per minute) for one person when 2 people are no longer using it.
You’ll also want to remove the additional nasal cannula and Y splitter and reconnect your cannula directly to the oxygen outlet port on your concentrator, or the humidifier outlet.
You can also connect to the extension tubing with swivel connector piece if that’s still hooked up to the concentrator or humidifier bottle. The main point is you need to remove the extra cannula and Y splitter and reconnect in order for you to get the proper flow of oxygen from the concentrator.
