Hi !! In October 2007, my pulmo put me on 2 liters of oxy. 24/7. I

have remained on oxygen for 10 months now, but have been on 5 liters

24/7 for many months. I only put it on 6-7 when cooking, laundry or

work around the apt. Sometimes not. I do find that with my oximeter

around my neck checking the 'sats' that on #5, it drops to 85 and

lower, so I put it on 6-7 when moving around. For sleeping and

otherwise, 24/7 is at #5 all the time. I have tried sitting on the

couch with oximeter on and no oxygen on for 10 min. and I can not go

more than 1 minute without oxygen or my sats go down below 80. It is

amazing that I trully need it 24/7
