For example, you may need it all day, every day, or for only part of the day during physical activity or sleep.

H-cylinders hold approximately 7107 liters of medical grade oxygen (USP) and are far too heavy to be considered portable. At a use rate of 1 LPM, these volumes equate to approximately 11 hours (E) and 118 hours (H) of use, not including oxygen flush time, which greatly exceeds the 1 LPM rate.
