As India is battling the massive spike in Coronavirus cases during the second wave and there is an increased demand for oxygen with hospitals struggling to meet the demand for oxygen leading to the death of patients in several cases, the demand for oxygen concentrators is also witnessing a rise.
What is an oxygen concentrator?
Oxygen concentrators dispense oxygen in almost exactly the same way that oxygen tanks do, delivering oxygen directly to the patient via the same nasal cannula or oxygen masks. However, where oxygen tanks contain a fixed amount of pressurized oxygen, concentrators collect oxygen from the surrounding air, concentrate it, and then deliver it to the patient, removing the need for replacement or refilling.
