Five tasks of oxygen
- Flush the fresh gas flowmeter
- Powers the oxygen flush
- Activates fail safe mechanism
- Activates oxygen low pressure alarm
- compresses the bellows of mechanical ventilators

Oxygen pressure failure device/failsafe
Proportioning system (hypoxic guard)
How does the hypoxia prevention proportioning system work?
Nitrous - oxygen proportioning
all final breathing mixtures must be 23-25% oxygen
ratio of NO2: O2 must not exceed 3:1
High pressure system location
Cylinder—> cylinder regulators
High pressure system components
Yoke things
cylinder things
Intermediate pressure system pressure
pipeline=50 psi
tank=45 psi
Low pressure system pressure
slightly above atmospheric but variable (14.7 or 16 psi)
Intermediate pressure system location
Pipelines—>flowmeter valves
Low pressure items
Flowmeter tubes
Vaporizers
Check valve (if present)
Common gas outlet
Manifold
Low pressure system pressure
slightly above atmospheric pressure but variable
Low pressure system location
Flowmeter tubes –>common gas outlet
Low pressure system components
Flowmeter tubes
Vaporizers
Check valves
Common gas outlet
If oxygen pressure falls below ____psi, the failsafe (hypoxia) will trigger an alarm
30 psi
If oxygen pressure falls below ____ psi, failsafe will stop N2O flow or reduce it proportionately
20
Failsafe device senses _________ NOT ______
senses pressure, not gas concentration
Reynold’s number
Density x Diameter x Velocity
_______________________________
Viscosity
Reynolds number tells us if:
Turbulent flow in flowmeter is
Laminar
Turbulent
Transitional
Reynold’s number <2000
Laminar
Flow is dependent on gas’s viscosity
Reynold’s number >4000
Turbulent flow
Reynold’s number 2000-4000
Transitional
First stage regulator system and pressure
Reduce high/variable pressure in a cylinder to lower (intermediate) pressure (40-50 psi) via diaphragm valve
Second stage regulator system and pressure
Reduces pressure from 40-50 psi (first stage) to 16-24 psi via diaphragm
=keeps flow more constant in flowmeter
Safe tank handling: ALWAYS
Protect a cylinder when carrying, it is the most fragile part
Safe tank handling: NEVER
-Stand a cylinder upright without support -lay on side instead
-Leave empty cylinder on the machine
-Leave plastic cover on the port while installing
-Use more than one washer between cylinder port and yoke
-Rely only on a cylinder’s color- READ LABEL
-Oil valves
-Remove a cylinder form a yoke without filling the space with a yoke plug (back up strategy for guarding against check valve failure(
