Ahhhhh, Oxygen.

As a physician practicing at high altitude, you are familiar with the necessity for supplemental oxygen. This can be especially true at night, when upper airways narrow and reflex-driven pharyngeal dilation is reduced . Nocturnal oxygen desaturation can lead to surges in blood pressure, interrupted sleep, and high altitude periodic breathing. Sometimes simply sleeping in an oxygenated environment for at least eight hours can restore blood oxygen levels in a way that provides relief throughout the day.

When your patients need nocturnal oxygen supplementation, the ideal choice is whole-room oxygenation. With an altitude simulation system from Altitude Control Technology, your patients set their desired altitude and we do the rest. There are no cannulas to replace or disruptive noises to reduce compliance. Sensors monitor the oxygen content, air quality, and atmospheric pressure to ensure that oxygen is consistently maintained in the sleeping space. Your patients sleep comfortably and wake rested and ready to enjoy the day.

Altitude Control Technology is the clear choice in home oxygenation. We analyze the space and use patented algorithms to model different scenarios including air flows, equipment configurations, occupancy levels, leak rates, and flow patterns. We integrate our system with the rest of the building, taking into account ventilation, humidification, and heat recovery system. Our Alticool technology ensures the equipment room is safely ventilated and cooled. Our systems are fire safe, quiet, and meet standards to keep the air fresh. Our Altistat controller makes setting the desired altitude as easy as setting the thermostat. Your patients can even control their system through their phone, ensuring the room is oxygenated and ready before they even arrive in the mountains.

Altitude Control Technology has installed systems at some of the leading research institutions such as the College of William & Mary Altitude Research Center, University of Texas, University of Colorado, and the Naval Medicine Research Center. When your patients need nocturnal oxygen supplementation, you can count on Altitude Control Technology to deliver.
