RT Clinic: Boost Oxygen - An RT's prospective

[@RustandDustExploration]

In underground mines, you can run into pockets where oxygen levels drop dramatically. We carried a couple of these around with us just in case, and on one occasion we got into some serious breathing trouble. We were both stumbling very suddenly, and our heads were starting to hurt. Ripped out the can and took a couple hits each, and it literally gave us just enough to get out of the mine. The lack of oxygen in that section of tunnel proves that this isn't just some placebo effect. Possibly a life saver. I wouldn't downplay what this can do.

[@JohnHWelch63]

IMO Miners are overlooked as essential workers. We’d be screwed without people willing to go into mines and work. You folks need to be recognized for your hard work and the dangers you face every day!

At 75, and with untreated COPD, it seemed like a good idea to have a couple cans on hand to hopefully help with ever increasing shortness of breath episodes from exertion. I really appreciate your hands on, candid review that restrains my product expectations from the purchase I just made online to a realistic result, or even a possible lack thereof. Thank you Jimmy.

My smart b/f grabbed me a few at our local sporting goods store, when I was going thru the sh%t storm. Made a difference. The only bad thing is the cans are so light- no indicator when its about to run out or low. Each can lasted me 2 weeks of using everyday, 3 -4 times/day

Please let me know if you’ve used it on people with dyspnea and whether or not it helped. Thank you.

[@englishguy1985]

I am an air separation plant operator and my two plants produce medical oxygen nitro and industrial grade Argon. The markup on this product is mind boggling. This falls out of the regulation requirements because it falls under 99.50% oxygen therefore cannot be marketed as medical hence why it can be sold without a prescribed medical use. It’s a neat idea but honestly the volume in these canisters would be so insufficient and would barely raise your o2 saturation. We have evolved to function on 20.8% oxygen in our atmosphere. Thanks for the video.

[@rtclinic]

Thanks for your perspective! It is a neat idea.

[@lorivattes2187]

I saw these at Walgreens and wondered if I should buy one. Maybe I will try it.

[@IvanBFit]

Awesome video man especially from a professional in the field of pulmonary function. I'm considering the possibility of using it at a triathlon and they actually sell pocket-sized cannisters that can easily fit in my jersey pocket. So based on your analysis, it can nonsignificantly (trend) boost forced vital capacity (FVC) upwards it seems. Well that's interesting, because some but not all research has found correlation between FVC and maximal oxygen consumption (VO2 max). So hypothetically, this could give a plausible acute boost (few seconds) to endurance performance, and while a few seconds may not seem like a lot statistically, practically it may make all the difference in a race outcome. Anyway, really great review and especially with science involved and it's no surprise you have a solid sub count. Good stuff 👍

Thanks for explaining. I had read comments on O2 on Amazon. For me, I have very low blood pressure and normal temperature about 94.6, which I blame for faintness and about a half hour of strenuous yawning usually at bedtime.

[@visamedic]

COVID put me in the ICU during Delta. We had a ton of contacts at the time and 3 cardiac arrests. I held out at home as long as I could, but after a week, I couldn’t hardly move or breath. My sats when my crew picked me up we’re at 73%. 10 days in the ICU, almost 4 additional months on O2. I was very much pissed off and in denial as to how bad I had got. I’m a hunter, hiker, backpacker, fisherman, all around outdoorsman. Most of what I do starts at 5000 feet. As soon as I could drive I took trips to see if I could go to altitude, starting at like 3-4000’. At 25-3k I started to get air hunger. By 4 lightheaded. Put myself on oxygen, 4 lpm, recovered pretty good, then dropped it to the 2 lpm I was supposed to be on (at roughly 325’). At 5000’ I could hardly breath. I couldn’t walk around even with the 2 lpm. So I increased the O2 and recovered and went home…very slowly. Didn’t say I was a rocket surgeon, just stubborn as hell. So I would do this every week while I was instructed to wean off the O2. I finally, toward the 4 month mark could go to 5k without almost passing out. And I moved slow I could ambulate some. That spring, maybe 7-8 months after the initial bout, I met my brother and my niece up at 6500’ in Kings Canyon. I felt a bit light headed, but I still had 2 tanks with a “sipper” regulator on it, but was doing ok. That night I closed my tent up, not thinking about ventilation (never worried about it before) and woke up to SOB and low sats (88-90). Made it to my truck where the O2 was set up, almost passed out (84%) and bumped myself back up. Opened up the tent a bit and slept good the rest of the night. Fast forward 6 months later. I’m 52 and for some reason I still think I’m 10’ tall and bullet proof…I go deer hunting. I thought let’s be safe…novel idea, and I’ll buy a 6 pack of these “just in case” (I had returned all my equipment at this point). First night at 7200’ I go hypoxic. Trailer was too closed up, with a Mr Buddy Heater (and before you go there, this has been done multiple times before, but with better venting) Wake up at about 0400, feeling like I’ve been drinking all night. Checked my sats, and I was at 84-87%. It took a while, but after 2 cans, my sats were at 98%, and I maintained that with 2 other cans long enough to pack up camp with help and move down. So that was an actual real world test, and it did what it was supposed to do. Now, unfortunately, I’m still recovering from this crap. My breathing is much better. I just came back from a trip at 7800’ with little to no issues, same tent, but I keep those in the tent and the vehicle now. Going to look into one of those portable oxygen concentrators and keep it in my vehicle, or travel trailer. What are your thoughts on those?

Look up 02 Trainer on youtube..It works, I had sleep apnea (started at aged 35) now it's fixed aged 57..I sing aa well and my lung capacity has improved, I sing stronger than at aged 30..Anway, it's worth looking at, way cheaper than the expensive ones and works.

Been feeling better this past month or so but I have gone through a few of these oxygen cans. They really feel good when you're out of breath in the middle of a hike.

I've heard of people using it for headaches. It is worth a try. Let me know if it works or not

[@matthewblankowski2265]

I want to try this during those 20 second jujitsu breaks before the next roll. See if I can catch my breath faster.

[@rtclinic]

Do it and reply back on if it helped..

[@matthewblankowski2265]

@@rtclinic can confirm it helped. Caught my breath in 3 pulls on it instead of a minute of normal breathing. It was super weird but worked.

[@jetskirandyx]

Thanks for testing it. I teach martial arts and thought about it between sparring rounds.

[@cassiepatterson561]

Do you think this would help with nighttime asthma flair ups? I’m looking for something supplemental so I can use my inhaler once and not puffing away all night wasting valuable and expensive albuterol lol.

[@rtclinic]

Do you use a spacer with your albuterol mdi?

[@cassiepatterson561]

No I do not. Should I?

[@jeffreymonahan6826]

great vid ! thanks dude

[@rcolucci09]

I want to know if it helps if I'm winded from cardio. I see NFL athletes use oxygen masks on sideline to catch their breath. Is it same "quality" or concentration or effect?

[@rtclinic]

It is within just a few percentage points of medical grade oxygen that is used at football games. The effect should be nearly identical to medical grade with the benefit of being pressurized.

[@rtclinic]

@@MaryKansloot Yes. Cold won't affect it.

[@GTSongwriter]

I was hoping you would use a oxi meter to show those numbers too. You know, the meter that goes on your finger.

[@rtclinic]

Yes. That's a good idea, but even if it went up, it would go down in 5ish minutes

[@phreed6320]

That would be a great video idea. May have to test it out myself.

[@AquaTech225]

I don’t mess with that oxygen. I took like 5-6 breaths from someone’s oxygen concentrator. With it on 3LPM and just holding the hose end 2-3” from my mouth an only took 5-6 like 3/4 breaths mixed with just oxygen in the room to. An that stuff had me feeling crazy and slightly dizzy just some weird feeling

[@TLC26]

My mom is on 5 liters of oxygen. She gets winded very easily and we have tried 3 different brands and they work!!! If her oxygen goes down to 87ish after she takes 3 spays it can go up to 95😁 They are pricey but functional if you need to breathe.

[@rtclinic]

Has she tried to use an incentive spirometer. It might optimize her oxygen uptake ability. It can be reused too.

[@TLC26]

@@rtclinic she has IPF and chronic cough so she can't breath into it as it triggers a cough attack.

[@rtclinic]

Has she tried a respiratory muscle trainer? Sometime called a threshold PEP device.

[@MoparAdventure]

Lox is a hangover cure. It gives you a nice boost.

[@rtclinic]

I'll take your word for it Tristan 😆

[@MoparAdventure]

@@rtclinic In the marines I knew guys who would go to the parachute riggers and take hits off their lox tanks when they were feeling thrashed from the night before.

[@billycorgan1465]

Is this something that would help me play soccer better i get out of breath fast i am 37 would this help with breathing or stamina

[@rtclinic]

It would help recruit alveoli and may help you recover faster when you get shortness of breath. I don't believe it will help endurance because it is short term

[@rickbaker4571]

Did you read the instructions? that's a rhetorical question. Obviously, not.

[@shane9597]

On a hot humid southern day if you had it cooled it would refresh. It could be used to cool face.

[@rtclinic]

One of those spray bottle fans would be cheaper and more effective at cooling you down. 🤔

[@brendalong303]

Would this be safe to take on plane?

[@rtclinic]

I'm not sure... I guess it would be similar to taking hairspray in your carryon

[@Realestategirll]

hi everyone does the bottle have to be shook before use?

[@rtclinic]

Nope.
