MrJ2U Posted July 19, 2021 Share Posted July 19, 2021 2 hours ago, CALSinCM said: Here's one of my favorite. Many Traditional Thai Medicines are being touted as working to alleviate Covid. But sell a Traditional Thai Medicine online and claim it alleviates Covid and go directly to prison. So only certain, special people and institutions can give out TTM for Covid and everyone else is a fake and fraud and needs to go to jail. How does that work in reality? Same way it works for cannabis. Certain people are protected and others are not? This country really does suck sometimes. All about money and wealth and power. So unfair. Most corrupt government everything to rule Siam. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dying from lack of Oxygen sounds something out of a nightmare. Lazada is selling for about 10k an oxygen concentrator from Haier. It can get to 90/95% pure oxygen, depending on how high the flow rate is. Some cheaper models are 5k up but I'd say it would be hard to find HEPA filters for them as they are noname products. I'd say a concentrator would be a better idea than oxygen tank, as it can run continuously and concentrates O2 from the air. Once tank is empty, it's empty, but this can run all the time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In other countries the governments were happy that people took the initiative to import these tests and selling them to all who needed them. Why you have to go to jail for the same here? Military government. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I expect filling stations for med grade oxygen would become hard to find along with the shortage of tanks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, it is a machine that takes oxygen from the air, which is filtered and then sends it through the mask to breathe. Other than removing water when tank is full and changing HEPA filter once in 6-12 months I didn't see anything more to be changed. https://www.lazada.co.th/products/haier-oxygen-concentrator-ha105-7-1-i1942500751-s9062359816.html There are others, Haier is just a known brand I recognise. The ones for 6k baht are noname brands. Omron is Chinese version and not sure it's real or not, so I didn't post it.

I can't get my tank refilled locally, or at the local hospital even before covid. I have acquired an oxygen concentrator hospital grade made by *Oxy Life* I would say worth a lot more than 20k THB. It does not collect water, the water acts like a filter (think Bong) , and can be changed with drinking water, the air filters can be cleaned by washing in water, easily every 100 hrs. I rarely need it anymore but am selfishly hanging onto it. Edited July 20, 2021 by brianthainess 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the USA that's what they give elderly patients. Easy to use and transport around the house. I'll definitely take a look. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The ones for 6k baht are noname brands. Omron is Chinese version and not sure it's real or not, so I didn't post it. Complete information about oxygen-concentrators from the WHO. General for all models, covers use, specs, flow rates, etc. Does not discuss covid. Seems that air filters can be user cleaned and are not part of the O2 concentration process. They remove dust and bacteria. There are two special sieve bed modules that perform concentration. Lifetime seems to be between 18 months and a few years. More than enough for one pandemic. https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=&ved=2ahUKEwiaxMyX9fDxAhWhGKYKHYEGBFgQFjALegQIFhAD&url=https%3A%2F%2Fapps.who.int%2Firis%2Frest%2Fbitstreams%2F887042%2Fretrieve&usg=AOvVaw3EdM4cKmLNcCwhsUFNVWl2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rabas Posted July 20, 2021 Share Posted July 20, 2021 Here is a hospital guidance flowchart for COVID oxygen treatment, with flow rates. https://www.leedsth.nhs.uk/assets/35b7940958/LTH-COVID-Oxygen-Guideline-v1.1-09.04.2020.pdf Flow rates range from 2L/min to 15L/min, most common concentrators are about 3L, 5L, and 7L/min. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
