You are asked to transport a patient who is receiving Oxygen from a nasal cannula at 5 liters per minute

(LPM). The gauge on the H cylinder reads 1500 PSI. How long will the cylinder provide the appropriate
flow? 1500 x 3.14 = 4710 L 4710/5=942 minutes or 15 hours and 42 minutes

full tank of Oxygen (2100 psi) is being stored in a room where the ambient temperature is 37 degrees
Celsius. The Tanks is moved outside where the temperature is now 34 degrees Celsius. What is the new
pressure inside the tank once the temperature equilibrates? 2100 psi/310 K = X/307 K

(2100) (307)/310=X 644700/310=X X=2079.7

A home health patient has a liquid oxygen tank that weighs 20 pounds. At 10 pounds, the tank is empty.
How many liters of Oxygen is available when the tank is full? 20-10=10 342.8 x 10 = 3428 L

A tank of oxygen with 1600 psi is being stored in a room where the ambient temperature is 32 degrees
Celsius. The tank is then transported outside where the temperature is 36 degrees Celsius. What is the
new pressure inside the tank once the temperature is allowed to equilibrate?

1600 psi/305K = X/309K (1600) (309)/305 = X 494400/305=X X = 1621

5 liters of oxygen is being stored at a temperature of 37 degrees Celsius. If the temperature is increased
to 40 degrees Celsius, what is the new volume?

5 L/310 K = X/313 K (5) (313K)/310K=X 1565/310=X X=5.05L

If 6 liters exhibits a pressure of 1200 psi, what pressure would result from the volume being decreased
to 4 liters?

(1200 psi) (6 L) = X (4 L) (1200 psi) (6 L)/4 L = X 7200/4 = X X = 1800

Calculate the duration of the liquid oxygen supply if the liquid supply weighs 30 pounds and the oxygen
demand is 4 L/min

30 x 342.8 = 10284 L 10284/4 = 2571 minutes or 42 hours and 51 minutes

You are asked to transport a patient who is receiving Oxygen from a nonrebreather mask at 15 liters per
minute (LPM). The gauge on the E cylinder reads 1500 PSI. How long will the cylinder provide the
appropriate flow until you reach your safety factor of 500 PSI?

1000 x 0.28 = 280 L 280/15=18.67 minutes
