Post by randal on Feb 11^th, 2004, 6:06pm

Hello
I am going to ask my Doc about Oxygen when I go see him--Could I get some details on Usage and what mask and anything else you can tell me.
Thanks Randy

Randy, see the great info provided on this website under the list of items to the left....see oxygen info. It answers all your questions.

Don't forget you need a NONREBREATHER mask and a regulator that goes up to 15 LPM.

8-12lpm for 15 minutes through a non-rebreathing mask. If you can get a bubbler (humidifier) as well, I would.

Just a word on O2. It works great for me and many others but MUST be done correctly. It must be used with a non-rebreather mask at a flow rate of at least 8 to 12 lpm. Many of the regulators today only go to 5 lpm and that just ain't enuff. If, after reading the info on this site and elsewhere you still have questions, feel free to email me.
