How Oxygen Therapy Helps COPD Patients

The benefits of oxygen therapy become even more profound when patients use a portable oxygen concentrator (POC) for their oxygen therapy. Not only is the overall cost of a portable oxygen concentrator lower than a traditional oxygen tank, but patients can better participate in their daily lives with a POC. Portable oxygen concentrators can also provide patients with increased stamina and exercise tolerance and improved sleep, mental alertness and mood. Inogen’s POCs are particularly easy to carry and use whether at home or on the go. Because of Inogen’s innovative technology and commitment to improving patients’ lives, each Inogen One portable oxygen concentrator model is made to help meet the needs of medical oxygen patients. Oxygen therapy can help improve COPD patients’ lives.

Proponents of EWOT (Exercising with Oxygen Therapy)say that it can offer a number of different health benefits because of the combination of oxygenation and regular aerobic exercise. They suggest these benefits could include:

Decreased inflammation
Decreased blood pressure
Improved immunity
Improved energy levels
Improved exercise tolerance, stamina and performance
Improved metabolism
Improved alkalinity
Improvement in symptoms of COPD, cancer, heart disease and brain injury
Anti-aging effects
Improved metabolism

These are significant claims, so could EWOT benefit people with COPD and other lung or breathing conditions

What Is EWOT?

EWOT (Exercising with Oxygen Therapy) is a training method intended to improve oxygen absorption by providing the user with a constant flow of oxygen during a workout. Essentially, while you exercise for ten to fifteen minutes on an exercise machine like a stationary bike or a treadmill, you use an oxygen concentrator to provide you with constant oxygen. The idea is that, because your body is being provided with pure supplemental oxygen, you will absorb oxygen more effectively and experience great benefits as a result. While this technique was originally developed by a physicist named Dr. Manfred von Ardenne to treat cancer patients, it has since been adapted for use with athletes and certain other medical conditions.

When Do Pulmonologists Decide to Prescribe Oxygen Therapy?

Pulmonologists typically prescribe oxygen therapy to patients who are unable to treat breathlessness with other COPD treatments like pulmonary rehabilitation, breathing exercises and medications. Once a patient’s COPD has progressed to the point that they begin to show continued shortness of breath even with other regular therapies, pulmonologists are likely to prescribe oxygen therapy to COPD patients who:

Have an oxygen saturation of 92% or below while breathing air
Experience severe airflow obstruction
Have experienced cyanosis
Have swelling in their lower legs caused by low blood oxygen
Have an increased concentration of hemoglobin in their blood (also called polycythemia)

Be aware that doctors are careful to reserve long-term oxygen therapy for patients who truly need it, because once a patient begins long-term oxygen therapy, they are likely to need it for the rest of their life.

Why You Should Know Your Oxygen Saturation Level

It is important to know your oxygen saturation level if you have a health condition that affects how much oxygen is in your blood. When your blood oxygen level is low, the cells and tissues of your body receive less oxygen, which means your body cannot function the way it should. This can negatively impact all your bodily functions and can also put a strain on your heart and your brain.

According to the American Thoracic Society, most people need an oxygen saturation level of at least 89% to keep their cells healthy. Having a blood oxygen level lower than this for short periods of time is not believed to be dangerous. However, your cells and tissues may become damaged if your oxygen saturation level runs low many times or continuously. As such, anyone with a lower oxygen saturation or with an O2 sat that drops during certain activities, like exercise or sleep, should be monitoring their O2 saturation regularly.

6 Travel Tips for People with COPD

Traveling is always a little stressful, but for someone with COPD who depends on supplemental oxygen, it can be a unique challenge. Travel is particularly busy—therefore, it requires special attention. There are a few tips that can help make traveling with COPD a little less stressful and a lot smoother and safer. Here’s how to get through your travel with supplemental oxygen this year.

Do your research first.
That way, you can get started on the necessary preparation before buying any tickets.

Make an appointment with your doctor before making travel plans.
If your doctor says you can travel, discuss any possible changes you might need in your oxygen therapy prescription for airplane travel or traveling to a different climate or elevation.

Check with your travel provider to make sure you meet any requirements.
For example, if you travel by airplane with your portable oxygen concentrator, you may be required to present a statement of medical necessity detailing your medical condition and your need for supplemental oxygen during the flight. Each airline, train company or cruise line may have slightly different requirements.

Prepare to travel safely to stay healthy.
As someone with COPD, it is important to take special care during travel, as you may be exposed to any number of germs and viruses that could jeopardize your health. Plan ahead to travel as safely as possible.

Avoid COPD triggers whenever possible.
Traveling comes with a variety of unknowns, so do your best to avoid COPD triggers where you can.

Have everything you need in case of a COPD exacerbation.
COPD exacerbations are a part of living with COPD, but they can get serious very quickly, so it is important to be prepared for a flare-up, even when you are traveling.

What are the COPD Stages?

COPD is a progressive disease. Over time, the symptoms worsen, causing increasing breathlessness, coughing and more. There are four stages of COPD, each of which is characterized by worsening symptoms.

Stage one COPD is mild, and is often dismissed as a result of smoking habits or aging. Stage one COPD includes some decline in lung function and, though symptoms like cough and fatigue are noticeable, they are still possible to dismiss.

Stage two COPD is moderate, which typically presents with a chronic and persistent cough and some shortness of breath, particularly after activity or smoking. Wheezing may also begin at this stage, and regular daily activities often become taxing. Stage two COPD is the most common stage for diagnosis, as it is often the first time that symptoms cannot be dismissed.

Stage three COPD is severe, with significantly impacted lung function. People with stage three COPD experience considerably reduced airflow and frequent shortness of breath, along with substantial fatigue as a result of their symptoms. Stage three COPD also comes with more frequent COPD exacerbations (or symptom flare-ups).

Stage four/end stage COPD, is considered to be very severe. At this point, quality of life is significantly impacted. People with stage four COPD typically experience symptoms even at rest. They may lose weight quickly as the body requires extra energy to bring in oxygen, and they will likely experience symptoms resulting from low blood oxygen like headaches and swollen lower legs. Eventually, low blood oxygen can cause confusion, rapid heartbeat, a blue tint in the lips and fingernails (also called cyanosis) and more. At this point, medical intervention is required.

The Impact of Mouth Breathing: Are You in the Dark?

If you are a mouth breather, you probably want to know, “What is the problem with mouth breathing?” Most people, including many healthcare professionals, are unaware of the negative health effects brought on by mouth breathing. In adults, mouth breathing is associated with poor sleep quality,[1] early facial aging[7] and a lower concentration of oxygen in the blood; a condition that often leads to high blood pressure and heart failure.[1] Untreated mouth breathing in children can lead to abnormal facial and dental development and sleep disturbances that can dramatically impact their growth and performance in school.[4]

In an interview conducted by registered dental hygienist, Trisha O’Hehir, Dr. Steven Sue, DDS, MS, explains the following:[6]

“Because the breathing mechanism is situated in the nose and not in the mouth, the brain of a mouth breather thinks carbon dioxide is being lost too quickly from the nose and stimulates the goblet cells to produce mucous to slow the breathing. Thus the viscous circle of mouth breathing triggers mucous formation, blocking nasal passages and nose breathing, leading to more mouth breathing.1”

This means that once you get in the habit of mouth breathing, your body could become confused into continued mouth breathing. At this point, intervention of some kind may be required.

How Oxygen Therapy Helps COPD Patients

Oxygen therapy has been a key treatment for COPD patients for many years. Not only does it increase survival when given to patients with significant hypoxemia at least 15 hours per day, but it also helps improve quality of life for patients living with COPD. Patients experiencing frequent dyspnea, or difficult or labored breathing, often experience fear and anxiety associated with their persistent breathlessness. Breathlessness alone is difficult to navigate, but the fear and anxiety associated with it can impede on a patient’s quality of life. Oxygen therapy can help ease that fear and anxiety by giving patients the oxygen they need to breathe easier, as well as providing the assurance that they will have that oxygen available to them when they need it.
