Controlling differing oxygen concentrator flow rates.
Переглядів 1,7 тис.2 роки тому
This video is about oxygen flow- and the concentrator. Many of us have two flow rates. Sitting, or sleeping, and moving. It is not easy to change these rates at will - and that could leave us exposed to too much, or too little, oxygen. This shows my attempts to address this problem. The remote control flow valve is available at www.softhose.com/online-store/Remote-Control-Flow-Valve-p190890009 ...

Thank you so much for explaining the stages of COPD,it really helps. Now I’m not as afraid as I was before seeing your video. Thank you and GOD bless you.
I’ve gained almost 20 pounds since I was diagnosed with COPD… so how do I know that is water in my lungs or I’m eating too much? Your posts are great, I learn so much.
You gain weight and i'am loss weight 😢

Rapid weight gain. I have lost weight
Thank you ..was nice to listen to you..your tips are helpful ..
Having been diagnosed in this last year with COPD, I simply want to say thank you, Derek, for your very informative and insightful videos. They have been very helpful with allowing my wife and loved ones to understand exactly what the day to day stuggles are. I hope you are well and breathing easy (or as easy as we can expect!) hahahaha, (apologies for the poor humour) Many thanks again, good health and god bless Connor
Rest in peace Derek. Thanks for all the great teachings xx

@@beverleytaylor6720 sorry to learn that, his vids help me so much.
@@beverleytaylor6720 thank you for letting me know, covid just nasty, Derek was doing so well, just so sad. Gpd rest his soul.

❤❤❤❤😊😊😊😊
i see your videos are 3 years old are you still alive?
No😩
Thank you Derek.....I too bought a 'breather'.....used it a bit....put it aside.....out of sheer laziness....Thank you for reminding me,! I will now take it up again to give it a fair trial ! Probably one unique/important feature...is that you can set the resistance dial for inhale & exhale separately....start easy.....and gradually turn each dial up as your diaphram gains strength....so it can be used for individual needs & is progressive !
Thank you I’m 4th stage you explain every question the doctors didn’t bother to inform me about.
RIP Derrick, thanks for everything xxx
R.I.P. my dear friend... I've appreciate you sharing everything right till the end.. Thank You...🙏 You can breath eazy now my Brother.. You are in the hands of our Lord Jesus Christ now.. I'll see you in a little while.. 😇

You are so kind sharing these encouraging messages with us all. Xxx
Thank you Derrick. I've recently been diagnosed with severe COPD and was really frightened. On the upside that fear has aided me to stop smoking. I do fear better for it.
Thank you for explaining the "bump", I thought I was the only one who experianced it.
WoW! that's a long time for sure....
So sorry that you had to go . You gave alot of people so much in so many ways. 😢 I'm a better person because of you. The love you had for alli us diagnosed was so unselfish.
Just seen on Facebook that he passed away in June, very sad, rip
