I assume you are asking about patient transport? However, I haven't come across a formula for this kind of scenario though I am pretty sure of the following: 1. portable ventilators have different consumption rates depending on types (e.g. electric or pneumatic) and brand (e.g. LTV, Oxylog) 2. oxygen consumption can vary depending on several factors (e.g. minute volume which can be difficult to predict in a spontaneously breathing patient, total ventilator flow) 3. we do not consume 100% of the cylinder's o2 content; we replace the cylinder as soon as it reaches dangerous low levels Cheers!
Generally, they're classified according to their size and capacity. H tanks are the typical bulky ones you see in the ward, while E tanks are those smaller versions we use for transporting patients over short distances.
if my calculations are correct. 1 H tank at 1L/min should last for about 4 days? my mom consumes 1 tank at 1L/min in just around 40hrs. may na miss ba po akong factor?
Sorry for responding late. This calculation is only theoretical. There could be other factors why cylinders run out sooner than expected: 1. Possible leak in the device or cylinder port 2. You don't really consume the entire content of the tank before replacing it (not advisable) 3. The tank gauge might not be calibrated (it's not always 2200 psig)

I learned more from you than my actual anesthesiology professor! God bless you.
It means that the first formula without subtracting the residual value is applicable.in full tank only?
Why you didnt use the residual value in your first problem?
great video but what is a tank factor! can you explain what tank factor is in depth and clearly pleaseeeee?
Great video
what tank factor you guys use in the Philippines?
How about computing the o2 duration using a portable ventilator on full support mode?
This may not be applicable since ventilators deliver O2 at much higher flow rates.
@@AtYourSIRvice do we have formula for this case?

@@AtYourSIRvice thank you sir
How can we classify our Oxygen tank if it's H or E type?
Generally, they're classified according to their size and capacity. H tanks are the typical bulky ones you see in the ward, while E tanks are those smaller versions we use for transporting patients over short distances.
Your the best sir!!it help me at calculating in our math subject!!
I don't see the connection but glad to be of help
Sir, paano po yung computation kapag naka high flow nasal cannula at CPAP or BIPAP? Thank you.
Thank you!
thank you so much this helped me
Glad it helped!

Kuya, yung 50lbs po ba na tank is H type na cylinder?
I suppose so kuya
how to check the volume of the oxygen tank?
Look at the pressure gauge if available. Otherwise, you have to crack it and connect one.
