There are special issues for oxygen therapy patients on planes — airline-recommended oxygen supplies, airport policy, and availability of oxygen. Let’s explore more on which portable oxygen concentrator to buy and what to keep in mind when traveling by air:
1. ¿Un tanque de oxígeno te hace volar?
Answer: in a nutshell yes, but only on certain conditions. Tanks are generally prohibited in cabin and the airlines do not allow compressed oxygen cylinders. Yet aircraft oxygen concentrators that you can carry with you on board are accepted because you can produce oxygen from the air without big tanks. The secret here is to make sure that the concentrator is airline approved (ie, in compliance with the specific standards of the airline you are on).
2. ¿Qué hacer con el oxígeno en el avión?
Make sure the oxygen concentrator you’re carrying is airline-approved before taking off. You can take your own portable oxygen concentrator, most airlines permit this, but you will need to notify them at least 48 hours in advance. …and for the oxygen in flight: airlines require that it has sufficient power to fly all the way (plus 1 or 2 hours in the event of a delay).
3. Concentradores portátiles de oxígeno: Aspectos a tener en cuenta
A la hora de elegir un concentrador de oxígeno portátil para utilizarlo en un avión, tenga en cuenta aspectos como:
Duración de la batería: Elige un modelo que aguante bien el vuelo y posiblemente algún retraso.
Tamaño y peso: Los dispositivos pequeños y ligeros son extremadamente importantes para la comodidad y la portabilidad.
Compatibilidad con líneas aéreas: Asegúrate de que el concentrador es compatible con todas las normativas de las aerolíneas.
A few of the best portable oxygen concentrators are geared for flights, with fancy details such as flow controls, lightweight frames, and durable batteries. You might find devices such as the Inogen One G5 or the Caire Freestyle Comfort for example popular among tourists.
4. ¿Se puede tomar oxígeno en el aire?
You can bring oxygen on airplanes, yes, but you have to adhere to some rules. Airlines are OK with portable oxygen concentrators as long as they have the right size, weight and battery. But oxygen tanks and canisters don’t get in checked baggage or your carry-on bag normally.
5. Concentradores de oxígeno en el equipaje facturado
Remember that oxygen concentrators are generally not allowed in checked baggage. These equipment should never be brought on the plane, it should always be in the cabin with you during the flight. Even if you are concerned about battery life, there are several airlines who will let you bring extra battery packs in the airplane, as long as they are safe.
Conclusión
This portable oxygen concentrator is the one that will work for your patient as well as the airline, which requires it. In the first instance, look for airline-compatiblity, battery life, and ease of use when choosing a device. If you’re a distributor or healthcare professional, making sure that your customers are provided with the correct information and the correct products will make sure they have safe and convenient flights for oxygen users.
