LOS ANGELES, Feb. 8, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- As adventurers prepare for high-altitude journeys, VARON recognizes the significance of respiratory health in navigating the challenges of elevated terrains. Therefore, VARON offered their suggestions on specific scenarios during high-altitude trips based on their research, emphasizing the versatility of stationary oxygen concentrators, including models like the VH-3, and how they can enhance the overall travel experience.

1. Adapting to Reduced Oxygen Levels during High-Altitude Travel:

Traveling to high-altitude destinations requires a gradual adaptation to reduced oxygen levels. Stationary oxygen concentrators, like the VH-3, prove invaluable during travel, especially in vehicles. With a car power inverter, these models can operate in the car and offer a continuous supply of supplemental oxygen, ensuring a gradual acclimatization to changing altitudes, and promoting a smoother transition for individuals moving between different elevations.

2. Supporting Physical Activity at High Elevations:

Engaging in physical activities such as skiing or hiking in high-altitude areas demands additional respiratory support. In that case, Stationary oxygen concentrators can be strategically placed in motels or rented accommodations, offering a consistent and reliable source of high-concentration supplemental oxygen before and after outdoor excursions, enhancing overall comfort in high elevations and recovery from fierce activities. Although a home unit like VH-3 does not support portable use on batteries, its compact body and lightweight design still make it easy to bring along on a trip.

3. Mitigating Altitude Sickness Symptoms:

Altitude sickness symptoms can dampen the high-altitude experience. Utilizing a stationary oxygen concentrator in the motel or temporary residence is a practical solution. It can help alleviate symptoms, ensuring a more comfortable and enjoyable stay and allowing you to fully appreciate the beauty of high-altitude environments.

4. Enhancing Comfort During Extended Stays:

For those planning extended stays in remote high-altitude locations, a stationary oxygen concentrator like the VH-3 becomes an indispensable companion. On such occasions, traditional oxygen solutions for traveling in high altitudes, such as canned oxygen, bring much more hassle than assistance. A stationary oxygen machine guarantees an uninterrupted and sustainable supply of supplemental oxygen, contributing to a positive and sustained experience throughout the journey no matter how long it is going to last.

5. Providing Support for Individuals with Respiratory Conditions:

Individuals with respiratory conditions can face heightened challenges at high altitudes. Having an oxygen concentrator in your car and temporary living place will provide ongoing oxygen support 24/7, allowing those with specific health considerations to partake in the journey with confidence and peace of mind.

6. Home Oxygen Concentrator vs. Canned Oxygen:

While canned oxygen has been a common choice for ensuring adequate oxygen supply in high-altitude travel, comparing it to oxygen concentrators reveals distinct advantages:

Duration and Efficiency:

Canned oxygen provides a limited supply which may not be sufficient for long-term use.

Oxygen concentrators consistently produce oxygen, offering a more sustainable and reliable solution for extended periods, crucial for prolonged days on the elevations.

Convenience and Cost-Effectiveness:

While canned oxygen is portable, its limited supply can be impractical for longer trips. Sometimes to sustain an oxygen supply throughout the journey, one may need to bring a dozen oxygen cans. At the same time, regular use of canned oxygen can become costly due to the need for replacement.

Home oxygen concentrators, though not portable, offer sustainability and ease of mobility, ensuring an uninterrupted oxygen supply throughout extended adventures. Moreover, if you need oxygen at your side anytime and anywhere, you can also choose from portable oxygen concentrators like VP-2. As a one-time investment, Oxygen concentrators provide ongoing value with basically no recurring expense.

Empowering High-Altitude Adventures with Knowledge and Support

Incorporating a stationary oxygen concentrator like the VH-3 into high-altitude travel plans addresses thin oxygen challenges while contributing to overall respiratory well-being. VARON remains dedicated to providing solutions that improve the high-altitude breathing experience for outdoor enthusiasts.
