OXYGEN CYLINDERS

Introduction:
Oxygen is essential for stabilizing patients with hypoxia or respiratory distress. An oxygen cylinder is a pressurized container storing compressed oxygen for medical use, particularly for individuals experiencing breathing difficulties or low oxygen levels. It’s a vital tool in oxygen therapy, providing supplemental oxygen through devices like masks or nasal cannulas.
Importance in Air Ambulance:
Aircraft cabins may not offer sufficient oxygen pressure for critically ill patients — supplemental oxygen is vital.
Technical Details:
Medical-grade cylinders with flow regulators, stored securely, with multiple backup units for redundancy.
Patient Benefit:
Ensures uninterrupted oxygen therapy at all altitudes, helping maintain normal oxygen saturation levels.
