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.

This video helped save a life. Had a power outage, both my mom's portable tanks were out. Thank God that tank was here, & it help her get through. Thanx a million for that vid!!

You’re welcome

This is the first thorough explanation I have received about using the tanks I received

[@RNScrub]

You’re welcome

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 😅

[@djdonald243]

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

[@susangore-dorado6038]

Thank you. I am away from home and this is the first time I have used one. Oxygen is flowing

[@chrisstinewhall9419]

This was great! My dad is using oxygen now and I feel more comfortable now, watching your video!

How long does a tank that size last?

[@RNScrub]

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

[@toandiloya585]

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]

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

[@toandiloya585]

@@RNScrub Thank you for your prompt response. I just wanted to make sure I was doing this correctly. Have a Happy New Year!

[@BettyWhite2171]

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

[@RNScrub]

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

[@frannysantos8568]

Does it not need an oxygen humidifier?

[@RNScrub]

You can probably attach one

[@hillbillyflipper3843]

Why does my pulse oxygen regulator keep puffing even when I don't have it on

[@RNScrub]

Not to sure on that

[@dbdb4067]

Why does the air comes through the neck when i turn it on

[@RNScrub]

that i am not sure,

[@sourceuniverse7483]

Is it quiet..should I be hearing it come out?

[@RNScrub]

Should be quiet, if you hear it coming off then something is loose

What size tank is that?

[@RNScrub]

not sure just a standard size tank

[@user-vq3hv7bw5o]

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?

[@RNScrub]

I would not be sure it’s mostly who ever handles the oxygen cylinders

@@RNScrub for E size like the video up

[@user-vq3hv7bw5o]

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

[@G-Three3]

Do u refill these

[@RNScrub]

The people who handle the oxygen can refill and exchange them

[@tendayizhou9687]

😮

[@patruch9367]

All my tanks are empty but weren't used

[@RNScrub]

Should be fine, they can be checked and refilled by an authorized oxygen supplier

Please speak clearly it's matter of life and death for people uses oxygen therapy including myself, thankyou.
