The plastic tubing can also catch fire. Be careful not to use the oxygen near a flame of any kind, including a lighted cigarette or gas range. Do not use aerosol sprays such as air fresheners or hairspray, vapor rubs or petroleum-based jelly near your oxygen unit. These items are all very flammable. Traveling with oxygen can be done with ease, but it takes planning to ensure enough oxygen for the trip and for use at your destination.
Air travel requires more planning and coordination with the airline.
Talk with your doctor and oxygen supplier for advice about traveling.
