Being diagnosed with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) is the beginning of a new journey in understanding and managing your respiratory health. COPD is a progressive disease characterized by increasing difficulty in breathing due to airflow blockage and lung irritation. Knowing the stages of COPD, as classified by the Global Initiative for Chronic Obstructive Lung Disease (GOLD), is crucial in managing the disease effectively. These stages help determine the severity of the condition and guide treatment strategies. Portable oxygen concentrators can be used for assistance in treating all COPD stages.
How Belluscura X-PLOR® Supports COPD Diagnosis
Facilitating Accurate Spirometry Testing
Spirometry is a pivotal diagnostic tool for COPD, measuring lung function and airflow obstruction. The Belluscura X-PLOR® portable oxygen concentrator enhances the spirometry testing experience by ensuring that patients are at their optimal respiratory health during the test. Our small, travel size portable oxygen concentrator provides pre-test bronchodilation through its advanced, adjustable delivery system, helping open up the airways for more accurate measurements.
Monitoring and Managing COPD Stages with Belluscura X-PLOR
Each stage of COPD—from mild to very severe—requires different management strategies. The Belluscura X-PLOR is designed to adapt to these varying needs. Its features allow for customized oxygen therapy, crucial for patients experiencing significant breathlessness in later stages, thus supporting better daily function and quality of life.
Belluscura X-PLOR: A Tool for Every Stage of COPD
Stage I & II: Mild to Moderate COPD
For patients in the early stages of COPD, maintaining an active lifestyle is key to managing symptoms. The Belluscura X-PLOR supports this with its lightweight, portable design, allowing patients to carry on with their daily activities without feeling weighed down by traditional, bulkier oxygen tanks.
Stage III & IV: Severe to Very Severe COPD
In more advanced stages, COPD can severely limit physical activity and quality of life. The Belluscura X-PLOR’s advanced technology delivers concentrated oxygen effectively, ensuring that patients can still engage in light activities and maintain their independence. The device’s pulse dose flow rate is particularly beneficial during physical exertion or sleep, periods when oxygen needs can spike unexpectedly.
