and oxygen
Put (very) simply, Oxygen is a chemical element that has the symbol O2. It is the third most common element in the universe, after hydrogen and helium. Oxygen makes up more than a fifth of the Earth’s atmosphere by volume. On top of being used by plants and animals for respiration (the breathing process), oxygen is also used in medicine to treat people with breathing problems.
Oxygen therapy
O2, which is vital for life, is found in the air we breathe. Some people with breathing difficulties (like those listed below) can’t get enough oxygen naturally. These people often need supplemental oxygen, which is referred to as oxygen therapy.

Technical concepts explained:
Oxygen concentrators using pressure swing adsorption (PSA) technology are used widely for oxygen provision in healthcare applications, especially where liquid or pressurized oxygen is too dangerous or inconvenient, such as in homes or mobile clinics.
An oxygen concentrator takes in air and removes nitrogen from it, leaving an oxygen-enriched gas for use by people requiring medical oxygen due to low oxygen levels in their blood.
Oxygen purity refers to the percentage of pure oxygen produced in a sample. For example, 90% oxygen purity in 1 litre per minute
produces 3 times more oxygen than 30% oxygen purity in 1 litre per minute.
Litre Per Minute (l/min or LPM) measures the velocity at which air flows into the sample probe. So, for example, a flow rate of 5 LPM @ 90% purity produces 5 litres of 90% pure oxygen every minute (as the OLV-5 oxygen concentrator).
CPAP is a positive airway pressure (PAP) ventilator in which a constant level of pressure greater than atmospheric pressure is continuously applied to the upper respiratory tract of a person. Applying positive pressure may be intended to prevent upper airway collapse, which occurs in obstructive sleep apnoea, or to reduce the work of breathing in certain respiratory conditions (see above).
An Oxygen cylinder is a pressure vessel for storage and containment of Oxygen at above atmospheric pressure.
High-pressure gas cylinders are also called bottles. Inside the cylinder, the stored contents may be in a state of compressed gas. A typical gas cylinder design is elongated, standing upright on a flattened bottom end, with the valve and fitting at the top for connecting to the receiving apparatus.
In both clinical and emergency-care situations, oxygen concentrators have the advantage of not being as dangerous as oxygen cylinders, which can, if ruptured or leaking, significantly increase the combustion rate of fire. As such, oxygen concentrators are particularly advantageous where oxygen tanks may be dangerous or unfeasible.
Oxygen concentrators are considered sufficiently foolproof to be supplied to individual patients as a prescription item for their homes. Typically they are used as an adjunct to CPAP treatment of severe sleep apnea. There also are other medical uses for oxygen concentrators, including COPD and other respiratory diseases.
