[QUOTE="Apache, post: 29015, member: 828"] I'm a little confused by the medical device. A respirator is used on a patient either in a coma (part of a life support machine) or under general anaesthetic. It is connected to a tube into the windpipe (endo-tracheal tube). It breathes for the patient pumping air into the lungs. People with asthma have nebulisers - a device that forms a fine mist of a certian drug. Some people with respiratory problems have supplimental oxygen, the most economical way is an oxygen generator. A device that plugs in and concentrates the oxygen in the air from 21% upto 95% and can deliver between 7-10 litres per minute. The 'back-up' for one of these is an oxygen cylinder. They don't use excessive ammounts of power. I can't imagine a patient would be sent home on a respirator in the true sense of the term! [/QUOTE]
