2021-04-26 08:21:19 Oxygen Concentrator @militarychoiceblog

An oxygen concentrator is a medical device that concentrates oxygen from ambient air.

Atmospheric air has about 78 per cent nitrogen and 21 per cent oxygen, with other gases making up the remaining 1 per cent.

The oxygen concentrator takes in this air, filters it through a sieve, releases the nitrogen back into the air, and works on the remaining oxygen.

This oxygen, compressed and dispensed through a cannula, is 90-95 per cent pure. A pressure valve in concentrators helps regulate supply, ranging from 1-10 litres per minute.

According to a 2015 report by the WHO, concentrators are designed for continuous operation and can produce oxygen 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, for up to 5 years or more.

2021-04-26 08:19:32 Breakthrough Infection @militarychoiceblog

Breakthrough Infection are infections that occur in people who have been vaccinated.

Such cases are not out of the ordinary as the vaccines that have been approved so far the world over are made to protect against disease and not the transmission of the virus.

Phase 3 clinical trials conducted before vaccines were approved showed a fairly constant proportion of infections among those vaccinated.

In the AstraZeneca trial, for instance, 30 out of 5,807 vaccinated — about 0.5% — were symptomatic and tested positive 14 days after the second shot.
