Liquid oxygen (LOX) is high-quality oxygen frozen and kept in liquid form to be used in the human body. It’s often prescribed to patients who have trouble breathing due to a certain respiratory condition or pulmonary disease.
Liquid oxygen is also often used as a treatment option for patients who require high levels of oxygen, usually more than 6 liters per minute. The use of extra oxygen, or what is referred to as supplemental oxygen, to help a patient breathe better is called oxygen therapy. Notably, you shouldn’t start oxygen therapy without your doctor’s guidance, as the use of liquid oxygen beyond the recommended levels can harm your organs.
Patients with medical conditions that cause low oxygen levels in their bodies may require oxygen therapy.
Examples of such conditions include:
There are several devices used to supplement oxygen to the human body, including a portable oxygen concentrator, a compressed oxygen tank, and portable liquid oxygen systems.
A liquid oxygen system is made up of a stationary unit or the reservoir and a portable unit. The reservoir is a large tank that contains liquid oxygen. Liquid oxygen takes up less space than gaseous oxygen which means you can store more oxygen with this unit. The reservoir should be refilled every few weeks by your oxygen provider.
The portable liquid oxygen unit is compact and meant to be used when you’re away from home. You’re supposed to fill your portable liquid oxygen tank with liquid oxygen from the reservoir. The filling process isn’t complicated, although it should be done with care.
To refill your portable liquid oxygen container, follow the below steps:
Notably, a full oxygen portable unit will often feel cold due to the frozen oxygen inside. The device gauge will also be level when the device is full.
Sometimes, a full liquid gas unit may get stuck in the reservoir. In such a case, don’t use force to remove it but leave it to thaw for a few minutes. Once you remove your device from the reservoir, you can set the flow rate and attach your nasal cannula.
Liquid oxygen is provided in the form of frozen oxygen. The compressed oxygen can easily cause burns or frostbites if it comes in contact with your skin. Also, since oxygen is a perfect oxidizer, it’s highly flammable when it comes into contact with fire.
Some precautions you need to take while using your liquid oxygen container include:
Undoubtedly, our bodies need oxygen to function. In case your oxygen levels are low, your doctor may prescribe liquid oxygen to supplement the low levels of oxygen.
Liquid oxygen is high-quality oxygen that is stored in cylinders in frozen form. You can also get a portable liquid oxygen unit for home use from an authorized dealer of oxygen therapy products such as No Insurance Medical Supplies.
