Survey for Patients Using Supplemental Oxygen

For years, the American Association for Respiratory Care has been hearing from patients who use supplemental (home) oxygen, about the problems they face – from delivery, to insufficient amounts for day to day living, to a complete lack of access for liquid oxygen.

Now, for the first time in years, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) is proposing significant changes to supplemental (home) oxygen and the AARC is working with our partners to make sure that major changes are made to improving patients’ experience with supplemental oxygen.

In order for us to better advocate and fight for patients, we need your help. Please take a moment to share this link with your patients and ask them to complete this brief survey today.

Testimonials

“I have now been using the Aerobika® OPEP, the AeroEclipse II® BAN and the Ombra® compressor for a little over a year now and the results I have seen are almost dream worthy. I have never really known what it’s like to actually breathe close to a “normal” non CF patient. “

“I can breathe deeper because it makes me use parts of my lungs that I have never had to use. “

“I think the thing I’ve noticed most is after I do my inhaled medications at night I have no rattling in my lungs when I go to bed.“

“There’s funny little ways that it’s made a difference. I was coughing so hard and there was so much pressure in my lungs that I had to sleep sitting up. It was hard to go out walking my dog for example because I was so breathless. So I really find the device helps to clear my lungs, I've been able to lie down at night so that just in itself it is a very good thing because it's better rest.”

“It means better health, it means I feel better. It also helps to just clear my airways in everyday situations if I want to go out to a show which can be hard to do when you’re a cougher. I use this a lot before I go to clear my airways so I don’t have to run into that problem when I’m out.”

“The Aerobika* OPEP device has proven to be more easy [sic] to use and monitor. We struggle to get my daughter to perform her chest therapy using the traditional [competitive] device. This has proven to be more effective.”

“I have had chronic cough for 5 years now. After just two uses I slept through the night without coughing several times during the night. I normally had severe long cough spells at least once a week…”
