I had a portable oxygen system with batteries to cover flight time plus 50 percent more. They were planning to make an unplanned stop in Denver. The plane was having refueling trouble, with one wing only partially full. A very uncomfortable feeling.Įlevation also was a challenge for me flying from NY to SFO. The nurses monitoring me put a chair beside the bed as I was desaturating. Patients arriving from lower elevations were needing supplemental oxygen. I did visit National Jewish Lung in Denver in the mid 90s. Sparks Nevada was the nearest place to refill. I live at sea level, and when I visited Lake Tahoe, I needed more oxygen and my tanks were emptying faster than expected. How you monitor where you are at in the moment, what you need to handle an activity, and the oxygen systems you need to deliver it were great.Įlevation plays a role in how you need to adjust the oxygen to meet your needs. Thank you for sharing your personal experience. I am reminded of a bird long ago that sung so softly into the evening. I hope Nightingale59 that my observations might be helpful. Using the bottle isn't that cumbersome and my pride days are long past. As i returned I began to feel very lightheaded and sat down quickly to find my sats at 72%. I did frighten myself when I foolishly went to the outside mailbox which involves a slight slope to the driveway. At 82 the cumulative damage doesn't have much time to work. I asked my pulmo and was told such short excursions were not particularly harmful. I observe my heart rate increases and as I sit the sats rise as my heart rate drops, leveling off a bit then going back to over 88%.

Getting up to go to the restroom, I rarely take the bottle and see my sats drop to 82 from the walk. I use the smaller tank (~ 7#) when out and about knowing it will last 3 hours or so but use the larger tank (~14#) as I move about the house. I did need to get a bit larger tank as I began to require the 3 setting. I use my pulse oximeter to monitor myself at times and always at the gym but have become quite familiar with the sensation when my sats drop to 85 or below. Trying to walk fast in the gym requires moving up to the 4 setting. As my COPD has progressed and getting older, I have needed a bit more to walk normally, I had to increase the pulse dosage from 2 to 3. I use a pulse regulator on my home bottles that I fill from my concentrator. Working in my small kitchen I may leave the O2 off as I move around but I can can feel my sats drop so I must stop and use the O2.

Doing anything that requires any effort sees my sats drop below 88% which is not good so I use O2. Living at 6000' makes my resting sats 92-97% depending on what the atmosphere is up to.
