I'm sure some of the TX locals will chime in with suggestions as they see this. Right now, we plan on just driving around between Dallas and west TX. This isn't our first trip to TX so we are just picking a section we haven't been to before.
I too have heard of people trying low flow O2 while sleeping with mixed results.
I recall one person stating that just a plain CPAP seems to help with night attacks.
Combining the 2 is an interesting idea but I can offer no personal experience, nor can I recall anyone trying such a setup. It would seem that using a concentrator AND combining the room air flow from the CPAP wouldn't give the user anywhere close to the pure O2 we recommend for an abort but as a preventative....I guess it could help? The setup would definitely increase the level of O2 per breath verses room air. Perhaps that might make a difference for some?
Please update us as to its long-term effectiveness. This is worth watching.
All you need is a provider for the tanks, you can buy the regulator you need off Amazon for under 30 bucks......
If you are looking for an O2 supplier to rent you a high flow reg, you will look a long time. Most of them don't even know they exist.
"AFNOR" is the standard of the connection as best I can tell. It looks like from the pics that the valve is considered part of the tank as in the UK and not swapped from tank to tank as needed as we do in the US. Am I correct or am I just looking at it wrong?
This is a problem I've been wanting to address. Different countries have different connections and it's hard for someone in the US to say exactly what you might need. I have the vision of putting together a guide for different areas of the world. I guess I should get started.......
Let's start with you posting a couple of pics of the tank and regulator fittings you are working with in Belgium and we will go from there.
No such thing as hopeless.....difficult maybe.....not hopeless.
This is my belief, but I am as unqualified as you to say for a certainty.
I can say with absolute certainty getting a bad concussion has not a single positive aspect involved with it. Not a damn one.
