Collective experience with pulmonary rehabilitation and disease management has shown that patients with lung diseases including COPD and restrictive lung diseases live a longer and more productive quality of life if they can remain active. Patients who require oxygen supplementation but can otherwise be active should have the most portable and non-encumbering systems possible. Oxygen conserving devices have made a high level of portability possible. Small gas, liquid and even some concentrators have replaced the 20 pound E cylinder with 4 and 5 pound systems. In a parallel physiological development, exercise plus oxygen increases the physiological benefits of exercise and thereby enhances the patient's ability to function in life. This paper examines available options and their mechanical and physiological foundations.
肺康复和疾病管理的总体经验表明，患有包括慢性阻塞性肺疾病（COPD）和限制性肺病在内的肺部疾病的患者，如果能够保持活动，就能过上更长寿、更有意义的生活。需要补充氧气但在其他方面能够活动的患者应配备尽可能便携且不妨碍活动的系统。氧气节约装置使高度便携成为可能。小型气体、液体甚至一些制氧机已取代了重达20磅的E型气瓶，采用了4磅和5磅的系统。在一个平行的生理发展过程中，运动加吸氧可增加运动的生理益处，从而提高患者的生活功能能力。本文探讨了可用的选择及其机械和生理基础。
