/ Oxygen, Rental, Respiratory / By

For COPD Patients & Families | Emergency Oxygen Delivery in Dallas, TX

When your loved one suddenly can’t breathe, nothing else in the world matters.
Their chest rises fast… their hands tremble… their eyes search for air that isn’t there.

In those terrifying moments, your heart races, panic surges, and the only thought left is:

“I need oxygen NOW.”

This guide is written for that exact moment — when the concentrator stops working, when the tank runs dry, when COPD flares without warning, and when help can’t wait until morning.

Here’s exactly what to do in the next 5 minutes to keep your loved one safe and get emergency oxygen delivered to your door tonight.

1. Stay Calm — Your Loved One Needs You Focused

In an oxygen emergency, panic is your enemy.

Take one breath.
Just one.

Your calm, steady presence is the first step to stabilizing the situation and getting oxygen fast.

2. Check the Oxygen Setup Immediately

Before calling anyone, review the essentials:

If using an oxygen concentrator:

  • Is it plugged in?
    Try another outlet.
  • Is there power to the house?
  • Is the tubing connected tightly?
  • Is the machine beeping, flashing red, or overheating?
    ➜ If yes, turn it off immediately.

If using tanks:

  • Look at the gauge.
    If it’s at zero or close, stop using it immediately.

These 20 seconds of checking could save your loved one’s life.

3. Switch to Backup Oxygen (If Available)

Move them to any available backup source:

  • Portable oxygen tank
  • Backup E-tank
  • Secondary concentrator

If the backup tank is empty or not functioning — you need emergency oxygen right now.

6. When You Should Call 911 First

If any of these happen, call 911 immediately:

  • Blue lips or fingertips
  • Confusion, disorientation, or trouble staying awake
  • Oxygen saturation stays under 88%
  • Severe shortness of breath not improving

7. After Tonight: Protect Your Home from Future Oxygen Crises

Most emergencies happen because families don’t have:

  • A backup tank

  • A refill schedule for tanks
  • A bedside tank for nighttime emergencies

Once tonight is stable, we help you build a failsafe oxygen plan so you never face this fear again.
