Using Oxygen
WARNING: Oxygen is a highly combustible gas.
Avoid the use of open flames, smoking materials, or
equipment capable of producing sparks in any area in
which oxygen is being used.
WARNING: Oxygen-in-use warning signs should be
prominently displayed in the room where the
Intensive Care Unit is used, and on the outsides of all
entrance doors to the room.
WARNING: Do not place any animal that has been
exposed to an explosive gas such as ether into the
Intensive Care Unit.
WARNING: Do not attempt to use an oxygen
concentration greater than 40% unless, in your
professional opinion, it is absolutely necessary.

3. Press the oxygen on/off switch. The amber
light in the switch comes on (Figure 54). If the
set-point needle is to the right of the calibra-
tion needle, oxygen begins flowing and the red
system light comes on.

the red set-point needle in the oxygen
concentration meter to the desired oxygen
concentration.

If the black needle in the meter is to the left of the red needle, the
oxygen system will begin supplying oxygen and the system light will
come on. If the black needle is to the right of the red needle, the
oxygen concentration is higher than called for. The oxygen system will
not operate and the system light will not come on.
