Generally, only people with hypoxia need oxygen to be absorbed by oxygen generator. However, the physiological function of the elderly begins to deteriorate, and the blood and oxygen supply to the heart and brain is often insufficient. At this time, it is easy to induce a variety of elderly diseases. If the symptoms of hypoxia are not corrected for a long time, it will lead to further deterioration of corresponding organs.

Therefore, for the elderly, proper oxygen inhalation to avoid hypoxia is certainly beneficial. However, the oxygen inhalation time should not be too long. If there is a specific demand for oxygen inhalation treatment, it is necessary to inhale oxygen correctly according to the doctor’s advice.

What are the benefits of oxygen inhalation for the elderly:

* Oxygen inhalation can help improve cardiopulmonary symptoms such as dyspnea;

* It can correct hypoxemia and alleviate the deterioration of pulmonary function;

* Reduce pulmonary artery pressure, prevent and delay the occurrence of cor pulmonale;

* It can help increase exercise endurance and improve the quality of life;

* Oxygen inhalation can improve the survival rate and prolong the survival time of patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease;

* It also helps to reduce the physical and mental burden of patients;

* Adhering to family oxygen therapy can also reduce the admission rate, reduce the length of stay and reduce the cost of hospitalization.

There are many benefits of daily oxygen inhalation for the elderly. We’ll talk about it next time.
