    • An oxygen cylinder is a cylindrically shaped metal container used to
    store oxygen that has been compressed to a very high pressure.
    • Cylinders are fitted with customized valves (either bullnose or pin
    index type) with valve guards, which are opened with valve keys.

    • They decrease internal tank pressure down to a working pressure

    • They read and display the internal tank pressure
    • They meter out the precise flow for patient use.

    How to determine oxygen consumption for a
    health facility

    9
    Exercise 5.1
    Case scenario 1.Give Exercise about oxygen
    consumption and # cylinder needed

    Hint:
    Duration (Min) = [Cylinder Pressure -500] * Tank factor (0.28 for E, 3.14 for H)
    Flow litter per min[1 – 10 LPM]

    D tank= 0.16
    G tank= 2.14
    M tank= 1.56

    A simple guide to changing a cylinder

    Anyone who changes a gas cylinder must:


    1. Be fully trained for their own protection and to comply with the Manual
    Handling regulations.

    2. Use appropriate protective clothing (PPE) such as gloves, safety glasses


    and protective footwear.

    3. Appreciate and understand the safety precautions required in handling


    oxygen cylinders

    11
    Transport of cylinders
    Before transporting, ensure the cylinders are:
    1. Located in a compartment separated from the driver

    2. Adequately restrained

    3. Checked for leaking, and have their valves closed

    12
    Troubleshooting
    Fault Possible cause
    No oxygen is flowing • Empty cylinder
    • Flow meter knob or cylinder valve is
    closed.
    • Faulty regulator
    Leakage from cylinder or • Cylinder is not connected to pressure
    Flow meter regulator properly
    • Faulty or missing washer between
    regulator and cylinder
    • Flow meter seal damaged or loose
    Cont…
    Flow meter ball not Faulty flow meter
    moving, yet oxygen is
    flowing
    Pressure gauge does not Faulty pressure gauge
    show pressure, yet oxygen
    is flowing
    User ppm
    • Cleaning
    • If humidifier bottle is used, refill with clean water
    • Clean cylinder, valve and flow meter with damp cloth
    • Visual check
    • Check cylinder is correct type and marked oxygen
    • Check all parts are fitted tightly and correctly
    • Check for leakage: hissing sound or reduction in pressure
    • Functional check
    • Close cylinder valve after each use
    • Remove valve dust with brief, fast oxygen flow
    • Check flow can be varied using flow control
    Accidental release measures

    If a large volume of medical oxygen is released, It may begin moving at high speed
    in erratic directions.

    • Close the cylinder valve

    • Where possible, isolate all sources of ignition

    • If release continues, evacuate the area and ensure that the affected area is
    adequately ventilated before re-entry.
