Oxygen concentrations in tents.

Oxygen and Carbon Dioxide Concentrations in Oxygen Tents.

An examination of oxygen and carbon dioxide concentrations in adult oxygen tents.

^ y m i s work was undertaken in order to establish, if X possible, quantitative relationships between the rate of flow of oxygen into an adult oxygen tent, the rate of leakage from the tent, and the rate of evolution of carbon dioxide by the patient. It was hoped that it would be possible to predict a " maintenance rate " for a normal tent, a given rate of flow of oxygen being correlated with ...

Carbon monoxide poisoning in tents--a review.

This review discusses the overlooked problem of carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning within small tents. It summarizes previous case reports, reviews the toxicity of CO, and attempts to draw conclusions from experimental work. Finally, practical recommendations are developed on avoiding CO poisoning within tents. The term carbon monoxide was used in a search of the Medline database covering the years...

CRITICAL OXYGEN CONCENTRATIONS FOR BIODEGRADATION OF PCBs

Predictable oxygen concentrations with the Bird respirator.

IN 1964, Fairley and Britt investigated the adequacy of the air-mix control of ventilators operated from an oxygen source. 1 The mean inspired oxygen percentages were measured at various cycling pressures, and with the Bird Mark 7 ventilator the oxygen levels varied from 51.5 to 96.8 per cent, being highest at low flows and at high cycling pressures. Consequently, these authors recommended that...
