Guest guest Posted May 7, 2008 Report Share Posted May 7, 2008 Geeta Great trip. I knew someone from Bangalore and he swore it was paradise. I encountered bad concentrator once too. As to yours could have been the concentration. I do carry a liter meter to check flow and most concentrators have warning systems on the percent oxygen but some don't. Sorry for those problems but glad the rest went ok. Really need to carry oximeter and catch yourself long before you hit the 70's, like the moment you hit 90. I was walking with three healthy men in SA and I had to pace and check oximeter and adjust my flow. Fortunately they all have PF wives and were fully aware of all things associated. But glad you're home and good now and did enjoy your trip in spite of the problems. > > Hi Bruce and all the gang!! > I thought i must tell you all that while your were > all on your respective trips , I too, went on a trip > to Banagalore about 800km from Mumbai, a one hour > flight away.The Airlines provided free o2 and my sats > were as high as 99 during the flight I used up 1 > bottle but while returning i required 3 bottles as > the flight was delayed, in the airport i used my > Eclipse POC at 3L when I was moving around, and at 2L > when I as sitting i also used the mains wherever > possible.
