How to use oxygen cylinders
1 Be sure the flow regulator knob is set at zero
2 Make sure the T-handle is tight.
3 Place the cylinder wrench on the cylinder’s
on/off valve, located at the top of the cylinder.
4 Open the valve by turning it counterclockwise one full turn. As the valve opens,
the gauge on the regulator will show the
amount of pressure in the cylinder. A full
cylinder will read about 2000 psi (pounds per
square inch).
5 Adjust the flow regulator knob to the flow
rate your doctor prescribed.
6 Attach tubing to the nipple adaptor on the
regulator.

Very helpful, thank you. Editorial note, the language you used to describe a fallen and busted open Oxygen tank was a bit soft. My Oxygen manual that they gave us describes as “it may become a deadly projectile”. Much clearer about the safety risks 😅

Best to have a cart made to secure extra tanks upright.

You missed commenting on the most important part and that is the small brass in river washer that sits over the pin that connects to the oxygen tank. If you are missing that washer or it’s worn out all the oxygen will blow out past the valve you need to double check when you get the regular that you only have, the washer installed but spare and they always come in a bag when a regulator ships. I keep a small bag of those brass and rubber washers that I buy off Amazon close to our oxygen tanks and oxygen can be a lifesaver and an emergency.

When im using this. The piece isnt working. It was working a few hours ago from a peramedic but now its just not working as it should. Its just leaking when we open the valve with the key

New to using oxygen and am still uncertain what the correct method is to Turn off the oxygen tank, I was told to do the following: 1st turn off wait until there's no hissing sound Then turn dial to 0 Is this correct? Thanks in advance

@RNScrub Жыл бұрын

Correct but I believe it’s so the remaining oxygen gets expelled out and doesn’t force pressure inside the tank

How long does a tank that size last?

@RNScrub Жыл бұрын

4-6 hours if set on 2 liters. If set higher then won’t last as long

The air keeps coming out of the top thing where I put the key...

@RNScrub Жыл бұрын

Make sure a nasal cannula is attached. Air shouldn’t be coming out from the top unless it’s a defect

Sir, when can I change the cylinder in the hospitals? The cylinder contains2000 psi Should I change it when1000psi ? Or at500psi Is there a reference for that?

Did you rely on the regulator's standard? Or there is a reference that stipulates filling the cylinder In my opinion, the cylinder should be changed if the pressure reaches 1000 psi It is considered a waste because only 50% was used

@stephanieroberts1394 Жыл бұрын

What size tank is that?
