A large amount of oxygen is indispensable for the treatment of new coronary pneumonia infectious diseases. Oxygen is generally stored in medical oxygen tanks. Recently, accidents of oxygen tank explosions and fires have occurred in many hospitals, causing heavy casualties. It can be seen that the safe use of oxygen tanks is not only of great significance to medical treatment, but also guarantees the personal safety of ordinary residents. Therefore, the use, storage and transportation of medical oxygen cylinders should be strictly managed to avoid the explosion of oxygen cylinders.
First of all, during transportation, the oxygen tank should be tightened with a safety helmet and wear a bottle protector; lightly loaded and unloaded to avoid collisions; it is forbidden to roll on the ground or fall from a high place; Bottles are transported in the same vehicle.
Secondly, when storing oxygen tanks, the storage environment should avoid sunlight exposure, keep away from high temperature, open flames and metal splashes; it is forbidden to pile up flammable materials within 10 meters; oxygen cylinders should be stored upright, and the bottle cap should be screwed on to prevent grease and dust from entering the bottle. There are railings and brackets fixed to prevent tilting; in addition, oxygen cylinders should be more than 1 meter away from radiators and other heat sources.
Finally, during the use of the oxygen cylinder, before installing the pressure reducing valve, slowly open the valve of the gas cylinder, blow off the dust inside and outside the interface, install the pressure reducing valve, and then open the valve for inspection; during the operation, people should be on the side of the interface, It is not allowed to face the interface; it is necessary to check that the leather tube joint is free of dust and metal filings before connecting. After the leather tube is removed, it must not be placed on the sky or on the ground to prevent impurities from entering; Reserve 1 to 1.5 atmospheres to check with air and prevent impurities from entering; when used in winter, the thawing bottle valve can only be used with hot water or steam, and it is strictly forbidden to use flame heating or iron hammering; when working in the same place as an electric welder, for To prevent gas cylinders from being charged, insulating pads should be added at the bottom of the cylinders; metal pipes and equipment in contact with gas cylinders should be equipped with grounding wires to prevent fire and explosion caused by static electricity.
