The difference between home ventilators and oxygen concentrators.
Nowadays, home ventilators and oxygen concentrators are relatively popular home medical devices. Many people are confused about the difference between ventilators and oxygen concentrators. They mistake ventilators for oxygen concentrators and mistakenly think that ventilators can also produce oxygen. In fact, this is not the case. Ventilators and oxygen concentrators are two kinds of medical devices that are essentially different. So, what is the difference between home ventilators and oxygen concentrators?
The difference between home ventilators and oxygen concentrators is that their working principles are different.
The principle of home ventilators: When spontaneous ventilation occurs, the inhalation action generates negative pressure in the chest cavity, and the lungs are passively expanded, resulting in negative pressure in the alveoli and airways, thus forming a pressure difference between the airway opening and the alveoli to complete inhalation; after inhalation, the thorax and lungs contract elastically, generating an opposite pressure difference to complete exhalation. Therefore, normal breathing is completed by the body generating an "active negative pressure difference" between the alveoli and the airway opening through breathing actions. After inhalation, the thorax and lungs contract elastically to generate a passive positive pressure difference between the alveoli and the airway opening for exhalation to meet the needs of physiological ventilation.
The principle of oxygen concentrators: It uses molecular sieve physical adsorption and desorption technology. Molecular sieves are filled in the oxygen concentrator. When pressurized, nitrogen in the air can be adsorbed, and the remaining unabsorbed oxygen is collected. After purification treatment, it becomes high-purity oxygen. Generally, it is not suitable for critically ill patients!
Through understanding the principles of home ventilators and oxygen concentrators, it is easy to distinguish between ventilators and oxygen concentrators. In simple terms, the concepts of ventilators and oxygen concentrators are different. A ventilator is like an air compressor, providing air flow like a fan, and is used to help and replace human breathing. An oxygen concentrator is like a sieve that screens out oxygen from the air. In hospitals, the two machines are also used in combination for treatment, generally for more serious diseases such as lung disease and heart failure.
The main users of home ventilators are: obese people, people with abnormal nasal development, people with enlarged and thick pharynxes, people with uvula blocking the airway, people with enlarged tonsils, people with abnormal thyroid function, people with macroglossia, people with congenital micrognathia and other patients who experience symptoms such as snoring, sleep apnea and sleep apnea!
