Need Respiratory Equipment near Laguna

I have emphysema and need a reliable oxygen concentrator and non-invasive ventilator for sleeping.

In the US I used a Resmed Astral 150 for sleeping and an Everflo Respironics as my oxygen concentrator.

Quality and oxygen flow of concentrators here seems questionable and I can't even find a non invasive ventilator.

Any thoughts/direction????

Thank you.

No, my pulmonologist is in the US.

Need to make arrangements for this medical equipment before my arrival back in the Philippines.

Unfortunately I can't help you with sourcing that that equipment locally, but how large is it? Could you bring it?

Just FYI, you probably know this, but look carefully into the air quality where you are located - I have personally found many parts of the PI have bad air, especially cities of course. But I can tell you my asthma is worse out in the province where there are lots of molds and they burn frequently, than it ever was in my Cebu City location - up on the hill in Busay.

Burning of green and wet vegetation, not to mention what else gets mixed into it, creates highly toxic air. Normally my asthma is extremely well controlled and never an issue. I am an endurance cyclist and I do bike in the PI too. But with with any lung disease or degradation I would think you would want to carefully look at the air quality where you are going. I know it's not the question you asked.
