Tank Calculation
Duration of Flow =
Oxygen Tank Conversion Factor * Remaining Tank Pressure (psi) / Continuous Flow Rate (L/min)

Total Arterial O2 Content
CaO2= (1.34 x Hb x SpO2) + (PaO2 x 0.003)
How to Determine Pt Inspiratory Flow
Flow= Volume (L)/time (min)
Determining the total flow in a high flow delivery device
If air/O2 is for example 30 then it is 8:1 so for every 1 litre of oxygen 8 L is being entrained into the device
for total flow add the two toegther (=9) and then multiple by the set flow
Calculating Flow in Liquid Oxygen System
Gas Remaining= (Liquid Weight [lb]) x 860/ 2.5 L/Ib
Duration of Contents (min)= Gas Remaining (L)/ Flow (L/min)
Remeber 1 L of Liquid O2 = 2.5 lb
