Portable O2 Tank 

I know I posted this last year when my account was much smaller, but it is far and beyond one of my favorite clinical tricks and I wanted to share it with more people!

To anyone who has been stuck in the OR without an oxygen tank to go to PACU here's a great way to turn tour reservoir bag from the vent into a portable O2 tank. This baby 🎈 is capable of delivering between 3-5 L/min oxygen via nasal cannula. Read the full study (Anesthesia rebreathing bags: physical characteristics and use as portable oxygen reservoirs. R Smith et al. J Clin Anesth. Jul-Aug 1992) here: pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/1419011/
