Abstract : An Oxygen concentrator is a devices designed to provide a constant and cost-effective supply of oxygen. Unlike traditional oxygen cylinders, they draw ambient air and employ advanced processes, such as pressure swing adsorption (PSA) or membrane technology, to extract and deliver highly concentrated oxygen to individuals with chronic respiratory conditions. This technology has revolutionized patient care, allowing many to receive oxygen therapy in the comfort of their homes, thus reducing the burden on healthcare facilities. The compact and portable nature of oxygen concentrators ensures mobility and independence for patients, enhancing their quality of life. This has been particularly valuable during the COVID-19 pandemic, as concentrators played a vital role in providing oxygen to patients in makeshift healthcare settings and at home, alleviating the stress on overwhelmed healthcare systems.
