You are planning a patient transport that will take approximately 1 hr. The patient requires manu-al ventilation with 10 L/min of O2. What is the minimum number of full E cylinders you would take with you?
 
  a. 2
  b. 3
  c. 4
  d. 5

Question 2

The gauge on an E cylinder of O2 reads 800 psig. Approximately how long would the contents of this cylinder last, until completely empty, at a flow of 3 L/min?
 
  a. 1 hr 15 min
  b. 1 hr 45 min
  c. 2 hr 10 min
  d. 2 hr 40 min

Answer to Question 1

ANS: A

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
Once the factor for a given gas and cylinder is known, calculating the duration of flow is a sim-ple matter of applying the following equation:
Duration of flow (min) = Pressure (psig)  Cylinder factor/Flow (L/min)
