2. Oxygen tent - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oxygen_tent

   Oxygen therapy often benefits patients by providing more oxygen to their lungs and consequently to their tissues. Typically, the treatment raises the amount of oxygen in the blood, decreases load on the heart, and facilitates breathing. It can ease symptoms such as cough and dried up secretions that occur in respiratory conditions.

3. Self-contained breathing apparatus - Wikipedia

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

   Z88.2–2015 notes that "open-circuit SCBA are equipped with a full facepiece or tight-fitting hood", and, like closed-circuit SCBAs, can be configured in pressure-demand or demand mode. Air is not recirculated in an open-circuit SCBA. [12] Z88.2 notes that these SCBAs normally use compressed air, but can also use cryogenic air or compressed ...

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Breathing_apparatus

   An oxygen concentrator is a device that concentrates the oxygen from a gas supply (typically ambient air) by selectively removing nitrogen to supply an oxygen-enriched product gas stream. They are also used industrially and as medical devices for oxygen therapy. [58] Two methods in common use are pressure swing adsorption and membrane gas ...

   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 ...

6. 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 ...

7. Supplied-air respirator - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Supplied-air_respirator

   Air-purifying respirators have APFs in the range 5–50 while SARs are in the range 25–2000, and full-facepiece pressure-demand SARs with an auxiliary pressure-demand SCBA have an APF of 10,000. For substances hazardous to the eyes, a respirator equipped with a full facepiece, helmet, or hood is recommended.
