Nowadays portable oxygen concentrators (POC) are available. We elaborated a protocol to choose the type of deceive depending on activity and mobility skills. Aims: analyze the actual use of both deceives, evaluate the activity and mobility skills of our patients, compare the actual use with the theoretical use by applying our protocol and contrast the satisfaction between the two devicesMETHODS: Transversal observational study. We studied patients from our area treated with AO by February 2013. We carried out questionnaires about mobility and activity skills and satisfaction grade. We applied the protocol to patients with AORESULTS: 56 (83.6%) LO and 11 POC. 47.7% had a mild activity, 31.3% moderate and 21% high. The mobility was mild in 41.7%, moderate in 18% and high in 40.3%. Applying our protocol, POC should be prescribed in 40 patients (59%) and LO in 27. 32 cases (48%) have the adequate modality and we proposed a change in 35 (32 LO to POC), 12 accepted the change (LO to POC). The indication was reevaluated in 18 (27%), removed in 4. At satisfaction questionnaire, POC were more satisfiedCONCLUSIONS: Low rate of POC prescriptions. 59% of our patients have moderate or high mobility; cording to our protocol, POC is more adequate for them. This protocol needs further validation. Higher satisfaction level with POC. ER -
