Maintaining healthy blood oxygen levels during
the pandemic
The coronavirus pandemic has been spreading
unabated through the world for well over 2 years
now. With infections on the rise and a drop in
case numbers nowhere in sight in most countries
of the world, it is important to stay indoors,
try and keep safe, and minimize social contact
as much as possible. The coronavirus primarily
affects the respiratory system, for those
suffering from respiratory disorders such as
COPD, the chances of getting infected and
contracting a severe form of the illness are even
higher.
What is SpO2? How does it affect us? SpO2 or
oxygen saturation is a measure of the amount of
oxygen-carrying hemoglobin in the blood relative
to the amount of hemoglobin not carrying oxygen.
Our bodies need a particular level of oxygen in
the blood to function. As oxygen saturation
levels in the blood drop, one can develop
Hypoxemia (Low oxygen levels in the blood). If
left unchecked, this can spread to the tissue
level and develop life-threatening conditions
such as hypoxia, which is low oxygen levels in
the tissue. Without immediate medical
intervention and supplemental oxygen, hypoxemia
can quickly lead to hypoxia which can further
lead to death.

• How does a coronavirus infection impact oxygen
  saturation levels in COPD patients?
• For those suffering from COPD or other
  respiratory disorders, reduced oxygen levels in
  the body occur due to the way these diseases
  impact the lungs and their gas exchange
  capability. As the immune systems of these
  individuals have already been compromised by COPD
  and other co- morbidities, they quickly slip
  into respiratory distress due to the additional
  impact of the coronavirus on their respiratory
  systems. Coronavirus causes the lining of our
  airways and the alveoli to get irritated and
  inflamed, reducing their gas exchange capability
  drastically, causing severe respiratory distress
  and in severe cases, death.
• How can COPD patients maintain healthy blood
  oxygen levels?
• As patients suffering from COPD already have a
  compromised respiratory system, the best thing
  they can do is to ensure a continuous supply of
  oxygen that helps them breathe better and
  maintain optimal oxygen levels. The most common
  thing that comes to our mind for enhancing the
  levels of blood oxygen would be an oxygen
  cylinder. These can easily help patients breathe
  in pure oxygen, and can boost oxygen saturation
  levels rapidly. However, oxygen cylinders suffer
  from an inherent problemthe amount of oxygen the
  carry is limited. Therefore, a 5L oxygen
  cylinder can only deliver 5 litres of pure oxygen
  and must be replaced or refilled once the oxygen
  levels are exhausted. This limits their
  application in homes, where keeping a large
  stash of oxygen cylinders in impractical. A good
  alternative to ensure a constant supply of
  oxygen is an oxygen concentrator such as Oxypure
  by Sanrai.
• What is an oxygen concentrator? How can it help
  COPD patients?
• An oxygen concentrator is a device that is
  purpose-built to deliver pure oxygen which has
  been extracted from ambient air. This gives them
  many benefits which cannot be matched by an
  oxygen cylinder.
• Freedom from storage and refilling concerns as
  they extract oxygen from the air around us.
• Oxygen is available on-demand, with no need to
  call for refills or new cylinders.
• Can be lugged around the house with ease and all
  they need is a power outlet to function.
• Supply can be varied as per need.
• Although there are many home oxygen concentrator
  available today, some of these especially suited
  for the need of the elderly and stand out from
  the competition. One of these products is
  OxyPure by Sanrai.

How is Oxypure better? Sanrai has spent many
years distributing oxygen therapy devices and has
collated volumes of patient data which gave them
insights about what exactly these devices lacked,
and how they could be improved. Sanrais quest
for creating a near-perfect device culminated in
the OxyPurean innovative, customer-focused
stationary oxygen concentrator that solves some
of the major gripes of most stationary oxygen
concentrator users. OxyPure is a high-flow, 5L
oxygen concentrator that offers multi-level
oxygen flow control through an innovative,
easy-to-use interface. Lightweight and robust,
OxyPure can take everyday bumps pretty well and
is easy to lug around the home. A quiet device,
OxyPure works silently, yet efficientlyhelping
you sleep better by providing you with
life-giving oxygen on- demand. OxyPure is also
very easy to maintain and requires limited
maintenance, which can easily be done at
home. In these trying times, it is best to ensure
that our elderly who suffer from respiratory
disorders stay indoors and maintain optimal
oxygen saturation levels to boost their immunity,
stay healthy and be able to ward off infections
in the case of need. If you are looking for a
device such as OxyPure, give the experts at
Sanrai a call. An experienced and innovative
global medical products distributor with a
presence in 46 countries, Sanrais expertise in
devices used for the management of COPD set it
apart from the competition with knowledgeable
sales personnel and quality after-sales service.
