1st, I assume you are talking about a welding regulator.

If that is true, just turn it up SLOWLY and find a rate that allows you to hyperventilate. It's really not that hard. Just don't get hung up on numbers.

Here is what I do.

1. Make sure the tank valve is off
2. Make sure the regulator valve off
3. Turn on tank valve
4. SLOWLY bring regulator pressure up to a flow rate that supports aborting the attack (this varys from person to person)
5. As pain subsides, begin to lower the rate of flow
6. When it is over turn regulator valve off
7. Turn tank valve off

Where there is life, there is hope.
Where there is Oxygen, you must use proper caution.
So be safe, don't smoke while using O2. Kill the pain and not yourself.
