Don't know if anybody has posted this link before, but I think if it is so it doesn't really matter:

PDF 28 pages, size: 1MB

Thank you, Friedrich.

I was interested to read that one's position during oxygen therapy can make a difference--specifically, the recommendation was to sit forward, looking towards the floor, in order to promote venous drainage. Not something I had heard before.

Although the paper repeats the 7 lpm recommendation rather than the higher flow rates, I was happy to see that 02 was at the top of the list of efficacious abortives for CH.

Best,

George

Hello George,

forgot to add: That paper is not new and may also have some outdated information (e.g. Gamma Knife). Couldn't find a date it was written, the newest reference included is from 2004.

I still think it gives a good overview.

pf wishes,
Friedrich
