A patient is scheduled for a procedure in a hospital across town. The expected travel time is 2 hours. There are two E cylinders in the ambulance. The patient is on 8 l/m via air entrainment mask, with a safety factor of 500 psig will the patient have enough oxygen to get to the other hospital?
Calculate the duration of the following gas cylinders. Include a safety factor.
E cylinder with 1200 psi. Attached to a nasal cannula running at 3 l/m.
H cylinder with 2200 psi. Attached to a jet nebulizer with a flow of 12 l/m.
Calculate the duration of the following gas cylinders if the gas cylinder was to be run until empty.
E cylinder with 680 psi attached to a nasal cannula at 1 l/m
The tank has 2200 psig of which 200 psig cannot be used, so subtract 200 from 2200 to get 2,000 psig that is actually usuable per hospital policy.
Find the conversion factor to convert psig into available liters of oxygen:
