A Comparative Study of 3 Portable Oxygen Concentrators During a 6-Minute Walk Test in Patients With Chronic Lung Disease

Abstract

The Eclipse 3 was best at meeting the subjects' clinical needs. POC users should be appropriately tested during all activities of daily living, to ensure adequate oxygenation. The healthcare provider should provide information and help to direct the subject toward the most clinically appropriate oxygen system, while being mindful of the patient's preferences and lifestyle.
