With the increasing pace of corona infection, consumption of oxygen cylinder is also increasing. Doctors say that if the oxygen level of the corona infected patient comes down, then using this type of oxygen cylinder can be saved.
Akhand Pratap Singh, Ghaziabad The
situation in Mumbai is very bad due to Corona infection. The infected are also finding it difficult to get beds in the hospital. There, ICU facility is being provided at home, but a thick charge is being taken for that. According to which the corona is increasing in the whole country, the situation in the districts of NCR can also happen, so doctors say that like a fire cylinder is kept in the house and car to extinguish the fire in the emergency. Similarly, when the oxygen level of the corona infected patient comes down, then it can be saved by using this type of oxygen cylinder.
How helpful is the oxygen cylinder?
CMO Dr. NK Gupta says that in case of emergency, the oxygen cylinder kept in the corona patient will prove to be lifelong. There is a delay in reaching the hospital several times when there is a sudden lack of oxygen, but this should be kept in mind. After applying oxygen cylinder at home, the patient must see the doctor. Oxygen cylinders should not be used without any need.
How to apply, first get information about it
MMG Hospital Senior Physician Dr RP Singh says that if a patient’s oxygen level is low in the corona period, then the oxygen cylinder kept in the house will be helpful, but the oxygen cylinder should be installed. If oxygen level is low in the body, then getting immediate oxygen reduces the chances of any kind of accident with the patient.
What is the option other than oxygen cylinder?
The oxygen concentrator machine is also very effective as an alternative to the cylinder. It is also easy to keep at home. It maintains the availability of oxygen in the patient by taking oxygen from the atmosphere, but it costs more. It costs between 40 and 50 thousand rupees.
Which cylinder to buy will work?
Oxygen is needed for immediate relief in breathing problems. In such a situation, a portable oxygen cylinder can be kept at home. Masks also come with these cylinders. By the way, this mask can also be purchased separately. These portable oxygen cylinders save lives when the patient’s condition is critical. If the condition worsens, the patient can be transported to the hospital by applying these.
What is their price in the market?
These cylinders are available in the online and offline market. The cost of a 75 liter cylinder is about 5 thousand rupees. Oxygen is kept in the cylinder by compressing, which makes it come in a very small bottle. Its weight is only around 700 grams.
Why is there less availability in the market?
Manjinder, who supplies portable oxygen cylinders, says that currently the availability of such cylinders is low, so it is difficult to supply as per the requirement. Supply comes from Gujarat. Corona patient supply in Maharashtra and other states has reduced supply.
