Emergencies

There are many emergencies where the oxy99 canister will become a handy tool. If someone is experiencing a difficulty in breathing, he can be administered the oxygen from the can. Oxygen is known as the most used drug for emergency situations. Keeping Oxy99 in your home will be helpful in case of cardiac emergencies when oxygen is required immediately.

Apart from the breathing and cardiac emergencies, oxygen is also needed for persons suffering from hypoxia (low level of oxygen in the cells) for relieving pain and breathing discomfort. In many cases where person loses consciousness because of an accident, a shock or fear, oxygen has to be forcibly fed into the lungs of the person. At such times, if you have got an Oxy99 can, it will help you deal with the emergency in a better way until the medical help becomes available. It is recommended that you use the following protocols for administering emergency oxygen:

  • When a person is not breathing.
  • When an infant is breathing fewer than 25 or more than 50 breaths per minute.
  • When a child is breathing fewer than 15 or more than 30 breaths per minute.
  • When an adult is breathing fewer than 12 or more than 20 breaths per minute.
