Experience with My Airvo?

Posted by Erin @erinmarieupton, Feb 18 7:09pm

Hello. Does anyone have experience with My Airvo? A relative who is a respiratory therapist recommended checking it out to help with shortness of breath for my mom. She is always very short of breath due to her bronchiectasis, but does not qualify for supplemental oxygen. Thanks!

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the MAC & Bronchiectasis Support Group.

@erin arieupton Oxygen concentrators, which is what this sounds like, are often used for lung conditions like emphysema, so I looked in that group and found at least one user. You might like to connect with @11moondog11 in this conversation:

@sueinmn Thank you for your response. My mom definitely has bronchiectasis/MAC, I'm curious why it is not used more by this group (not expecting an answer, just wondering out loud). It would be amazing to have another tool to help alleviate her breathlessness. We will check in with her pulmonologist for his thoughts.
