Background: Patients can experience persistent cognitive complaints and deficits in long-COVID. Inflammation and capillary damage may contribute to symptoms by interfering with tissue oxygenation.
Methods: This was an exploratory pilot crossover study designed to describe the effects of supplemental oxygen (portable oxygen concentrator, POC) on cognitive performance and peripheral and cerebral oxygen saturation at rest and exercise.
Introduction: Portable oxygen concentrators (POCs) are medical devices that provide supplemental oxygen to patients requiring long-term oxygen therapy. However, little information is available on day-to-day patterns of how or even whether patients actively switch between their POC mobility features and flow setting options.
Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted to assess POC usage among patients who used an Inogen One G5 POC in the USA.
