I’m not a doctor either, but this post sounds EXTREMELY reasonable to me. No one should sleep with 100% Oxygen at a flow rate of 8 Liters per minute or higher “zipping” through their lungs. Humid Oxygen compared to dry Oxygen sounds BRILLIANT to me! Sitting on a stool and HOLDING the mask sounds BRILLIANT too! I’m sure that will prevent anyone from falling asleep with 100% Oxygen “zipping” through their lungs. Personally, if the Oxygen doesn’t abort my Cluster Headache in less than 10 minutes I shut the tank off and go for the 1/3 injection of Imitrex. EXCELLENT post!
