  2. Oxygen firebreak - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oxygen_firebreak

    A fire in an oxygen tube approaching an oxygen firebreak. An oxygen firebreak, also known as a fire stop valve or fire safety valve, is a thermal fuse designed to extinguish a fire in the delivery tube being used by a patient on oxygen therapy and stop the flow of oxygen if the tube is accidentally ignited.

  3. Oxygen mask - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oxygen_mask

    Respiratory care devices image. Oxygen is naturally occurring in room air at 21% and higher percentages are often essential in medical treatment. Oxygen in these higher percentages is classified as a drug with too much oxygen being potentially harmful to a patient's health, resulting in oxygen dependence over time, and in extreme circumstances ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nasal_cannula

    The nasal cannula (NC) is a device used to deliver supplemental oxygen or increased airflow to a patient or person in need of respiratory help. This device consists of a lightweight tube which on one end splits into two prongs which are placed in the nostrils curving toward the sinuses behind the nose, and from which a mixture of air and oxygen flows.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heated_humidified_high...

    The development of heated humidified high flow started in 1999 with Vapotherm introducing the concept of high flow use with race horses. [2]High flow was approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration in the early 2000s and used as an alternative to positive airway pressure for treatment of apnea of prematurity in neonates. [3]

    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. Bubble CPAP - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bubble_CPAP

    1. Gas source: An oxygen blender connected to a source of oxygen and compressed air is used to supply an appropriate concentration of inspired oxygen . The humidified blended oxygen is then circulated through corrugated tubing. 2. Pressure generator: Pressure in the bubble CPAP system is created by placing the distal expiratory tubing in water.
