Improving Portable Oxygen Concentrator Performance through the development of a New Nasal Interface
DownloadFall 2021
Long term oxygen therapy (LTOT) is used to improve survival for patients with respiratory diseases who experience chronic respiratory failure. During LTOT, supplemental oxygen is supplied to patients from an oxygen source via cannula supply tubing. Portable oxygen concentrators (POCs) are a...
