Vidya Devi won the battle against the fatal infection in just 12 days with the support of her family and their doctor's advice. Her elder son, Hari Mohan, said that her oxygen level had dipped to 79 one day. "Everyone in the family got worried." #Corona2ndWave #Covid19IndiaHelp
He said they then asked her to sleep in the "prone" position, adding that it helped improve her oxygen level to 94 in four days. "She is now fully healthy and her oxygen level is 97 these days." #proning #Corona2ndWave #IndiaFightsCorona #IndiaFightsBack
As India faces a shortage of hospital beds amid a record surge in coronavirus infections, several infected people have had to seek treatment at home. Shortage of oxygen cylinders has given rise to increasing sale of oxygen concentrators. But what are they?

An oxygen concentrator uses ambient air to concentrate oxygen. It can dispense 90-95% pure oxygen by compressing it from atmospheric air, which comprises 21% oxygen and 78% nitrogen. The air is filtered through a sieve, and then the nitrogen is released back into the air. #Oxygen
The oxygen is concentrated inside the device and a pressure valve helps regulate the supply, ranging from 1-10L/min. Experts say, 90-95% pure oxygen generated by oxygen concentrators is good enough for mild and moderate COVID-19 patients with oxygen saturation levels above 85%.
