    Oxygen D tank refilling

    From the King county protocol. "When the patient’s oxygen saturation is 95% or greater, do not administer oxygen." That is a nice attitude. It is always good to learn i can agree. But that protocol, i think its just so you dont waste your O2. Like, its already 95 % on room air, shrug, I...

    Oxygen D tank refilling

    I already know where the agency goes, but that place is huge and does big orders, like really big, and Im not sure if they would bother with one customer with one tank. I'd ask the Medical Director, but I doubt he would know the answer to my question, as I am certain, as it is also said, very...

    Oxygen D tank refilling

    I respect your right to free speech, as this is America, ( at least where I am typing) however I respectfully disagree, I have been doing first aid for over 25 years, with time in military and law enforcement and most recently EMS. Why would I ever change my mind about having O2 at home...
