With the development of the molecular sieve pressure adsorption principle of oxygen production technology, using air as a raw material, the physical oxygen production of the oxygen generator has become almost standard equipment in the pet hospital.
Compared to bulky oxygen cylinders, oxygen concentrators are easy to move, and oxygen can be turned on and off at any time. There is no safety hazard of high-pressure tanks, and it eliminates the trouble of changing tanks and filling them up every day.
One oxygen machine can be used for multiple purposes to meet the needs of animal anesthesia machine oxygen supply, postoperative oxygen supply, ICU oxygen supply, first aid oxygen supply, and so on. However, there are various kinds of oxygen generators on the market., How to choose a suitable and reliable oxygen generator?
As a professional oxygen generator manufacturer, Olive understands the frontline needs of animal hospitals and provides a wide range of oxygen generator solutions from portable to high-flow. So, how should a pet hospital make a scientific choice when facing a variety of models and parameters of oxygen generators? In this article, we will start from the clinical application needs of pets, combined with the advantages of Olive products, for you to gradually dismantle the key factors of oxygen concentrator purchase.
Many animal diseases may lead to hypoxia, including:
Respiratory diseases (such as pneumonia, bronchitis, and asthma)
Cardiovascular diseases (such as heart failure)
Traumatic shock, hemorrhagic anemia
Various types of postoperative anesthesia recovery
Elderly animals are frail and sickly, and often suffer from respiratory failure
In these scenarios, the timely supply of oxygen not only relieves the animal's pain, also stable vital signs. In these scenarios, the timely supply of oxygen can not only relieve the animal's pain but also stabilize the vital signs and improve the success rate of rescue.
| Comparison Item | Oxygen Cylinder | Oxygen Concentrator |
|---|---|---|
| Oxygen Source | Stored high-pressure oxygen | Air purification oxygen production |
| Usage Duration | Limited, requires replacement | Can run continuously |
| Safety | Risk of high-pressure explosion | Safer |
| Cost | High long-term usage cost | One-time investment, low maintenance cost |
| Portability | Bulky and inconvenient | Portable, a wide variety of models |
Oxygen concentrators are easy to operate with lower risks and are ideal for long-term daily use in pet hospitals.
The demand for oxygen flow varies greatly among different sizes and types of animals. For example:
Small dogs/cats: 1~3L/min can be satisfied
Medium-sized dogs: it is recommended to choose more than 5L/min
Large-sized dogs or critical emergencies: it is recommended to choose more than 10L/min
In addition, if the hospital receives more than one animal at the same time, it should also consider whether the equipment supports the function of multiple oxygen supplies or is equipped with more than one model at the same time.
Is it equipped with an ICU ward?
Is there a 24-hour monitoring/emergency room?
Is anesthesia surgery frequently performed?
Is it involved in outpatient rounds or mobile medical vehicle service?
Olive suggests that oxygen concentrators should be configured according to different areas or uses, for example, high flow rate equipment for the ICU, and lightweight portable models for outpatient clinics or medical rounds.
There is no doubt that the oxygen concentration is the first criterion for judging whether an oxygen concentrator is good or bad. Oxygen concentration on the market to meet medical standards should be guaranteed to reach 93% ± 3%, so that there is enough medical value for small and large pets, with effective supplemental oxygen content.
Keeping the machine running for a long time without interruption and ensuring the stability of oxygen concentration is the key to testing the performance of the oxygen concentrator. Considering the special characteristics of some cases, it is necessary to configure an oxygen concentrator that can run for 24 hours.
According to the use of the environment, it is necessary to set different sizes of oxygen flow rate, to meet the conditions such as anesthesia machine oxygen supply, postoperative oxygen supply, ICU oxygen supply, emergency oxygen supply, and so on. Therefore, the oxygen concentrator with a precise oxygen flow adjustment function can make it more widely applicable.
Oxygen Concentrator, as an on-the-go oxygen supply equipment, is lightweight and equipped with quick-moving universal wheels, which makes it more convenient to use than bulky high-pressure oxygen cylinders.
Pet hospitals often need to treat a variety of serious illnesses. Usually, at this time, the affected pets will be in a very tense and anxious state, and any external stimuli may cause them affected pets stress. This not only increases the psychological burden of the affected pets but also increases the difficulty of treatment for medical personnel. Therefore, a good oxygen generator, bass noise conditions, will be a very favorable aspect of its practical application.
Nebulization treatment is essential to the pet medical clinic, meaning treatment. Choose an oxygen concentrator with a nebulizer function, not only saves money, but also reduces the replacement of equipment, and facilitates the medical staff to formulate faster and more effective treatment plans.
The environment of pet hospitals is special, and the use of instruments is prone to various stains, and the air intake holes are also prone to the accumulation of pet hair. Therefore, a suitable oxygen generator needs to have an easy-to-clean housing and an air inlet filter for operators to clean.
ICU/Convalescent Warehouse needs to create a comfortable therapeutic environment for the affected pets, which has high requirements for humidity, moisture, oxygen concentration, carbon dioxide concentration, and so on. When encountering critically ill patients (e.g., severe metabolic organ damage, severe pneumonia, severe dehydration, extensive trauma, etc.), it may need to be turned on continuously to keep the internal environment stable. Therefore, it is necessary to equip an oxygen concentrator with 2. long-lasting and stable performance.
In clinical treatment, we often encounter some emergency cases (e.g., car accident, hemorrhage, shock, acute heart disease, heat stroke, stress, etc.), which require immediate supplemental oxygen with other treatment modalities to achieve first aid effects. Because of the uncertainty of the emergency environment, the speed, concentration, and flexibility of the oxygen supply are all required accordingly. A good oxygen concentrator can be able to cope with this kind of emergency, and provide one more point of hope for the emergency pets.
After the successful completion of the operation, the pet is still under anesthesia, and the respiratory system is still affected by anesthesia. Turn on the oxygen generator to provide fresh oxygen continuously and stably, which can not only ensure smooth breathing of the pet after surgery, increase the oxygen content of the body, accelerate the awakening of anesthesia, but also have a certain effect on pain. It is of great significance to the recovery of the postoperative state.
For respiratory diseases, nebulization treatment is a very effective way of drug delivery. Usually, pet hospitals are equipped with a nebulizer as nebulizing equipment to treat, for example, pneumonia, bronchitis, asthma, cough, and other problems. An oxygen concentrator with a nebulizer function is a multi-purpose machine that greatly facilitates the operation of medical personnel.
