From emergency medicine to intensive care: oxygen cylinders in use

Oxygen cylinders are pressurised containers used to store and transport medical oxygen in compressed form. These cylinders play a central role in medical care as they provide a portable and readily available source of oxygen needed in various clinical situations.

Medical applications:

Ventilatory support: in emergency medicine, anaesthesia and intensive care, oxygen cylinders are used to ventilate patients who are unable to breathe on their own.

Oxygen therapy: In respiratory diseases such as COPD or asthma, the administration of additional oxygen can improve oxygen saturation in the blood and alleviate symptoms.
