Using Oxygen Tanks

If you have a lung problem such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) or pulmonary fibrosis, you might have low oxygen levels. If so, you may need extra oxygen, or oxygen therapy. Oxygen therapy is given using special equipment. This animation tells you about using an oxygen tank, also known as an oxygen cylinder. An oxygen tank is a metal cylinder filled with compressed oxygen. Oxygen tanks come in both large and small sizes. The large ones usually stay in one place, such as your home. The smaller ones are portable. You can roll them around with you or even carry them in a backpack. Watch to learn how oxygen tanks work, their parts, and how to use them effectively and safely. Always consult your healthcare provider if you have questions about your oxygen therapy prescription and using your oxygen equipment.

This didn’t explain enough. I’m a newbie called Lincare and no one is available on weekends for portable oxygen. I’m about in tears 😢

Sir, when can I change the cylinder in the hospitals? The cylinder contains 2000 psi Should I change it at 1000 psi? Or at 500 psi Is there a reference or standard for that?
