As oxygen therapy continues to evolve, the conversation must extend beyond oxygen delivery alone. In his latest article for HomeCare Magazine, Rhythm Healthcare CEO Doug Francis examines the role mobility plays in long-term oxygen therapy and the importance of aligning oxygen solutions with each patient’s clinical needs and daily activities. Francis explores how equipment selection can impact a patient’s ability to remain mobile, maintain daily routines, and stay engaged in life outside the home. Mobility is part of the therapy itself.

90% of COPD patients on long-term oxygen therapy were identified as having restricted life-space mobility. Lower mobility was also associated with greater dyspnea and poorer exercise capacity. In a separate study of 4,596 patients with COPD, those reporting 150+ minutes of moderate-to-vigorous physical activity per week had a 34% lower adjusted risk of 30-day readmission than inactive patients. Now, let’s talk equipment. In a survey of 836 long-term oxygen users, portability ranked as patients’ highest priority, and 51% of tank users described their equipment as strenuous or extremely strenuous to use. And in a separate study of more than 100,000 long-term oxygen therapy patients, POC users had an estimated 15% lower risk of death over the 72-month follow-up compared with patients using compressed tanks. So, what if we stopped viewing mobility and portability as secondary considerations? What if we started viewing them as part of the therapy itself?

Join Rhythm Healthcare for No Patient Left Behind: Rethinking Portable Oxygen Therapy for High-Demand & Shallow-Breathing Patients, an educational webinar led by Dan Dunmire, RRT, Director of Respiratory Clinical Solutions. The Clinical Challenge: Why high-flow and shallow-breathing patients can get stuck relying on delivery tanks instead of transitioning to modern portable oxygen concentrators. The Cost of Tanks: The financial and operational burden tanks place on HME providers, along with the impact limited mobility can have on patient independence and health outcomes. The Clinical Gap: How fixed trigger sensitivity can result in missed breaths and treatment failure for patients with shallow breathing patterns. The Solution: How the P2-E7’s 7 pulse-dose settings and 5 levels of adjustable trigger sensitivity address the “Shallow Breathing Blind Spot” and help providers safely transition more patients away from tanks.

“The pain of the same has become greater than the pain of change.” -Doug Francis Portable oxygen is doing more than changing how respiratory care is delivered; it is helping patients remain active, independent, and connected to their communities. In a recent interview with The American Journal of Managed Care, our Founder and CEO, Doug Francis, discusses the shift toward home-based care, the evolution of portable oxygen concentrators, and how connected technology could continue improving patient outcomes while reducing costs across the healthcare system.
