All of the severe conditions that a person can suffer from always involve a major organ that the body needs to function properly. The lungs are the usual target of serious diseases. When this happens, the person can die instantly but there are also others who have survived but they need to have constant air supply for them to continue breathing.

This can be a hassle at first, especially if the person is not used to carrying something around at all times. But since it is essential for breathing, it will become a part of your body somehow.
When choosing a device to supply air, you first need to determine whether you need the continuous flow or the pulse flow.
