2. Medical gas supply - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Medical_gas_supply

   Medical oxygen storage tanks at the Royal Women's Hospital, Melbourne, Australia. Oxygen may be used for patients requiring supplemental oxygen via mask. Usually accomplished by a large storage system of liquid oxygen at the hospital which is evaporated into a concentrated oxygen supply, pressures are usually around 345–380 kPa (50.0–55.1 psi), [1] [2] or in the UK and Europe, 4–5 bar ...

3. Oxygen tank - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oxygen_tank

   High pressure oxygen storage cylinder, colloquially referred to as an oxygen tank. Oxygen tanks are used to store gas for: medical breathing (oxygen therapy) at medical facilities and at home (high pressure cylinder) breathing at altitude in aviation, either in a decompression emergency, or constantly (as in unpressurized aircraft), usually in ...

4. Gas cylinder - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gas_cylinder

   In Australia, Europe and North America, tapered neck threads are generally preferred for inert, flammable, corrosive and toxic gases, but when aluminium cylinders are used for oxygen service to United States Department of Transportation (DOT) or Transport Canada (TC) specifications in North America, the cylinders must have parallel thread. DOT ...

5. Self-contained breathing apparatus - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Self-contained_breathing...

   Uses compressed oxygen. Uses an oxygen-generating solid. This involves a chemical reaction between potassium superoxide with exhaled water and carbon dioxide. A chlorate candle has to be struck to start the device. To reduce pressure buildup from use, a pressure-relief valve with saliva trap is included.

   The International Pharmacopoeia specifies that Medical oxygen produced by air liquefaction has a purity of at least 99.5% oxygen by volume. The World Health Organization (WHO) specifies that for pressure swing adsorption (PSA) plants, medical oxygen produced from ambient air has 93±3% oxygen, and for oxygen concentrators, 82% from room air (21 ...

7. Resuscitator - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Resuscitator

   A resuscitator is a device using positive pressure to inflate the lungs of an unconscious person who is not breathing, in order to keep them oxygenated and alive. [citation needed] There are three basic types: a manual version (also known as a bag valve mask) consisting of a mask and a large hand-squeezed plastic bulb using ambient air, or with supplemental oxygen from a high-pressure tank.
