Whether it’s the peaks of Breckenridge, the glades of Aspen, or the Legendary Back Bowls of Vail, Colorado’s mountain resorts offer an unparalleled adventure. However, the thin air at high altitudes can pose significant challenges, from headaches and nausea to shortness of breath and insomnia. To combat these symptoms, many turn to supplemental oxygen. But when it comes to choosing between an oxygen concentrator and an oxygen canister, the difference is night and day.
The Oxygen Canister: A Limited Lifeline
An oxygen canister, often marketed as “canned air”, is a small, portable device designed to provide short bursts of oxygen. While convenient, canisters come with many limitations:
- Limited Supply: Each canister contains a finite amount of oxygen, typically providing only a few minutes of use. This means you must buy multiple canisters if you plan to spend even the smallest amount of time at altitude, making canned air cumbersome and costly.
- Short-term Relief: Canisters are designed for temporary relief. They are not suitable for ongoing use, which is often necessary for individuals who are affected by altitude sickness. Headaches, Nausea, Insomnia, dyspnea, etc are all symptoms that are unlikely to be impacted by canned air due to the limited duration of use.
- Cost and Waste: Purchasing multiple canisters can quickly become expensive, and the disposable nature of the canisters contributes to environmental waste. Limited efficacy, high cost, and the disposable nature of store-bought canisters really limit the application of Oxygen Canisters.
The Oxygen Concentrator: Unlimited, Reliable Support
In contrast, an oxygen concentrator from Bluebird Oxygen offers a superior solution:
- Unlimited Supply: Unlike canisters, an oxygen concentrator provides a continuous flow of medical-grade oxygen. As long as the unit is powered, you have an unlimited supply of high-purity oxygen, ensuring you can breathe easy throughout your entire stay.
- Long-term Comfort: Oxygen concentrators are designed for sustained use. Whether sor resting in your accommodation, a concentrator can deliver the oxygen you need for hours on end, significantly reducing the symptoms of altitude sickness and even improving your sleep.
- Cost-effective and Eco-friendly: Renting an oxygen concentrator from Bluebird Oxygen is not only cost-effective in the long run but also environmentally friendly. There’s no need to dispose of multiple canisters, reducing waste and your environmental footprint.
