informative, but there are other uses for oxygen in the home, like a 'gas torch' for welding (aka oxy\Acetylene), brasing, soldering, glass working,etc. and in this use a few safety issues you DID NOT cover, like standing to the side of the regulator when you open it, as the pressure of the gas could 'blow' the regulator apart, and the bonnet ( the part with the control valve/handle attached) could sheer off, and send the valve handle like a projectile right into you; cracking the valve for a second to blow away contaminents, which could ignite in, or foul the regulator components; also the reason for opening the tank valve fully, that is, so the seal on the stem of the valve can seat in the housing, it is a cryogenic gas (as it expands it cools the objects around it), so could 'weld' the valve open, by differential expansion of the valve parts), so the stem is sealed against the outflowing gas, by a seal in the open side of the operating range.
A struggle to hear the presenter because of the irritating lift music. I was seeking info on oxygen not a musical recital. I will not be watching it again.
This Video should be mandatory viewing for new oxygen patients. Excellent video. Thanks!
thank you so much for this helpful video and information

Good to know. Thanks for sharing.
VITAS oxygen safety video, on you-tube is very easy to access and self explanatory with all the important details. I love it!!!
How do you do normal things like driving with oxygen tanks?
The person saying vaping is safer than cigarettes? No, not true
What about when you crack the tank?
I know oxygen can be dangerous, but I have to cook our meals. Since we have a gas stove, I try to be careful. What advice would you give.
My brother is on oxygen but we don't have central heating, does anyone know a safe way to heat his room?
Bit as oxizen cylinders very small size, Howmaney kilo grams.

me: how do I get/use this thing at home?
this video: FIRE HAZARD FIRE HAZARD FIRE HAZARD FIREEEEEEEEEE
also me:
word to the wise
I think this is so dangerous, I would rather have the kind that comes from the air, I've had it, and you feel safe, I'm afraid of the real oxygen.
Vaping would be a safer alternative to smoking :)
my Dr wants me to go on real oxygen, & I'm scared to death
Me too😥🙏
