Our oxygen and respiratory support service covers oxygen concentrator setup, BIPAP/CPAP device tuning and follow-up for patients with COPD, chronic respiratory failure, pulmonary fibrosis and sleep apnea. Our respiratory-experienced nursing team is reachable 24/7 across Istanbul.
What Is Home Oxygen and Respiratory Support?
When the lungs cannot adequately uptake oxygen or expel carbon dioxide, special devices support the breathing function. Used incorrectly they are ineffective or cause side effects — so device choice, accurate settings and regular follow-up are critical.

- Mask fitting and training: Mask adjustments that don't cause pressure sores
- Device setting follow-up: Pressure and oxygen levels per doctor's order
- Aspiration: Secretion clearance, cannula care for tracheostomy patients
- Pulse oximetry follow-up: Saturation control via fingertip measurement

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I rent the oxygen device?
Yes — monthly rentals are available. For long-term use (6+ months) purchase is usually more economical. We help match the option to your budget.
Does state insurance cover oxygen devices?
State insurance covers oxygen concentrators and BIPAP devices for patients meeting certain criteria (blood gas results, doctor's report). We guide you through the application.
How many hours per day should I use the device?
Per doctor's recommendation. COPD patients on continuous oxygen often need 15–24 hours/day; sleep apnea is 6–8 hours of nighttime use only.
The mask is hurting my face — what should I do?
This usually indicates wrong size or type. Our nurse trials different masks (nasal pillow, full face, hybrid) to find your fit.
What do I do during a power outage?
Concentrators need power. Keep a backup oxygen tank ready. If breathing worsens during the outage, call 112 and notify us as well.
