Why do patients get oxygen in a can and not from the air?
Air only has about 20% oxygen, almost all of the rest is nitrogen. An oxygen tank has 100% oxygen and is used in some cases for breathing sicknesses. These patients don't need 100% oxygen, but just a bit more that is mixed with normal air when they breath in.
Can oxygen in a tank combust?
No. Oxygen itself is not flammable. Rather, it supports the combustion of flammable materials. Oxygen tanks do, however present a fire hazard. Normal air is 21% oxygen, while oxygen tanks carry 100% oxygen. A higher concentration of oxygen makes it easier to ignite flammable materials and allows a fire to burn hotter.
What is oxyen used for?
Oxygen is used for respiration by living organisms to generate energy. It is also used in various industrial processes like welding, cutting, and refining. Additionally, oxygen is administered in medical settings to support patients with breathing difficulties.
What is the percentage of oxygen delivered by bag valve mask w a connected reservoir?
A bag-valve mask with a connected reservoir can deliver approximately 95-100% oxygen when used correctly with a high-flow oxygen source.
What happens to oxygen over 100 degrees?
At temperatures over 100 degrees Celsius, oxygen remains in a gaseous state. However, if the temperature continues to rise significantly, oxygen molecules can break apart into individual oxygen atoms.
How is nitrogen poisonous to humans?
Breathing 100% of it... No oxygen...
Is being on oxygen like being on life support?
A person can be on oxygen due to difficulty breathing for a variety of reasons such as lung disease, but life support means you are on a ventilator. Oxygen is also always used on a ventilator and can be used at 100%, but people using oxygen for difficulty breathing generally (if they're not too sick) can even walk around if they use a portable oxygen apparatus.
How do you treat decompression sickness?
By re-compression in a hyperbaric chamber with set periods of breathing 100% oxygen- the treatment plans are called 'Tables' and there are about 4 tables that are used to treat DCS.
What percent oxygen does a patient receive from rescue breathing without supplemental oxygen?
Twenty one percent, which is the equivalent of room air.
Can a child be over oxygenated by too fast bagging with ambu bag?
Your typical Ambu bag with O2 and a resiviour bag will deliver 100% oxygen if used correctly. If your patient is in respiratory arrest, this oxygen delivery rate is proper, however a BVM (bag valve mask) should NEVER be used on anyone if they are breathing, unless you're using small squeezes to ASSIST in labored breathing.
Can any sound person take oxygen regularly fro m a cylinder?
Yes. There is no problem with breathing straight from the tank. Even in airplanes, as you reach an altitude of around 20,000 feet, you are breathing 100% Oxygen. Just don't smoke while you are doing it.

Can silicon be used as glue?
100 % silicone is used as adhesive to make aquarium tanks and similar. i guess that qualifies it as 'glue'.
How far does 100 pounds of oxygen go in space?
It is difficult to quantify how far 100 pounds of oxygen would go in space as it depends on the exact conditions and usage. However, in terms of breathing, it would depend on the rate of consumption by the person or system using the oxygen.
Can you get to much oxygen and what will happen?
you cant get too much. once the air has reached 100% oxygen no more can get in the air. if you breathe it in, you might feel a bit dizzy as you're not used to it but its not harmful at all, just not used to it

Can you dive deeper on oxygen?
Yes. Because you are breathing in less nitrogen therefore less nitrogen can be dissolved into your blood. I think the average is 34% oxygen (Compared to the normal 21%) however 100% burns your lungs.
