Oxygen Therapy flow rates
In the field while using an oxygen delivery system one can not always rely on what the gadge relays. There are several things to keep in mind while using this equipement. You need to know the remainding volume is, calculate this with residual (500 lt.)and tank size. An equation is used to develope a measurement for remainding time.

(tank size)= metered reading - residaul x litres per minute at (? x 1.56) M-tank = time left

For the M ,D. E tanks what are the recognized equations to determin the tome left on that specific tank?

WikiProject Medicine Student Workplan
Hello all, I am a 4th year medical student enrolled in the UCF WikiProject Medicine course, and I am planning on pursuing a career in anesthesiology. As part of a school course I will try to contribute to this Wikipedia article over the course of the next 4 weeks. In particular, I am planning on:

General:

- Edits/rearrangement to the article for grammar, flow, and succinctness.

- Add a section regarding physiological effects of oxygen supplementation, with appropriate references

- Embed associated links to other Wikipedia articles to my snippet

- Reorganize the "Side Effects" section in a way that provides more structure to the overall article, and depending on the overlap with physiological effects condense them into a single section

- Double-check article/references for out-of-date information/linkrot, contribute more detail to particular sections when I feel detail is lacking

- Add subsections to portions of the article where I feel it would benefit from additional structuring, e.g., "Delivery"

- Avoid medical jargon when sensible

- Add a graphic/figure to the article.

If I am doing anything negatively impacting the article please let me know; I would be happy to make the appropriate change(s) and I am open to feedback.

Hello Alex Nahn, this is Alex Lin here to peer review your great work thus far.

Couple suggestions:

1. Could benefits from some changes to the chronic conditions/contraindications/AEs - consider adding a heading to chronic condition above the area where you suggest careful titration - add bullets for clarity - add a lead in sentence for AE's which differentiates it from contraindications

2. Physiologic effects - could benefit from clarifying what type of physiologic effects in the header

3. Consider detailing FiO2 earlier on than in delivery - this could help clarify a commonly confusing terminology b/w FiO2, different oxygen saturations

4. Rename "As a drug delivery route" - aesthetically dissimilar from other headings

Thank you for your time.

Hey Alex, thank you for your suggestions. I have detailed changes I have made: Suggestion 1: - Chronic conditions was a previously existing title which the paragraph falls under; I do not feel an additional header may be needed at this point in time. - Thank you for adding bullets - A lead-in sentence has been added per your recommendation

Suggestion 2: - I have no clear system to arrange the variety of physiologic effects so they are listed alphabetically. Not all of the physiological effects are pathological, and sometimes they affect the same system in different ways. I feel like increasing the categories of effects will add to article clutter.

Suggestion 3: - FiO2 is now described earlier in the article with an accompanying definition.

Suggestion 4: - Good catch! The heading has been changed to 'Drug Delivery'.

Thanks! Alex Nhan (talk) 14:01, 17 November 2021 (UTC)
