Home, Cabin and RV Use

The TXO2® AUTOMATED First Aid Oxygen unit may be the best life insurance you can keep in your home or in places away from your home, e.g., an RV, or summer or winter cabin, etc. in a 911 medical emergency. Emergency medical assistance may not be readily available.

The TXO2® AUTOMATED First Aid Oxygen unit has been designed for the person that knows practically nothing. And, for a very small cost you can buy yourself a better chance of extending your life or someone else's life should there be a medical emergency in your home or away from home.

Many of you who read this brief article may have already achieved an age where 911 types of medical emergencies are more likely. If you are well into the AARP age, you may have already been diagnosed as having maladies such as congestive heart failure, emphysema, diabetes, and the like. Heart attacks, respiratory difficulty, and "fainting" while in the home or on the road are not uncommon events. Time is not on your side. Too often because of inadequate oxygen, victims suffering from these emergencies go into cardiac arrest before emergency medical service (EMS) arrives. Also, they may suffer avoidable brain damage.

The TXO2® AUTOMATED First Aid Oxygen unit may mean the difference as to whether you remain alive, or, if you remain alive, mentally whole prior to arrival of EMS. Inadequate oxygen for a brief (2-3 minute) span can cause irreversible brain damage or neurological disorder or both. Consider this, assuming you, the victim, were alive when the EMS arrived, oxygen would have been the first treatment. It makes no logical sense for not giving oxygen prior to arrival of an EMS unit. There is no downside to giving oxygen but failure to give oxygen can be extremely hazardous to ones health (read Q+A).

The TXO2® AUTOMATED First Aid Oxygen unit is so simple to use. There are no switches and no regulators to adjust. It is lightweight. Just pull out the unit from the cradle and place the mask over the face of the victim. If you are the one suffering chest pains, difficulty of breathing, etc. you can do this yourself and call for EMS. Mouth to mouth CPR is a poor substitute. Rescue breathing, if you know CPR, can be implemented through the mask, which is a CPR mask. Basically, the message is GIVE Oxygen, don't let the victim critically deteriorate in your home. As some have said, "Better Safe Than Sorry".
