Oxygen
Oxygen may be used for patients requiring supplemental oxygen via a mask. Usually accomplished by a large storage system of liquid oxygen at the hospital which is evaporated into a concentrated oxygen supply, pressures are usually around 55 psi. In small medical centers with a low patient capacity, oxygen is usually supplied by multiple standard cylinders.
