Re: LOX

[Jeremy Hawk <akulahawk@earthlink.net>]

I've only seen a LOX system on one ambulance. As far as capacity 
goes, the system that was installed in that ambulance was about 3x 
that of any cylinder that we'd had. The downside was that the system 
leaked badly enough that all the LOX would be gone in 3 days, whether 
or not we'd actually used any on a patient. At least there was a 
"backup" cylinder that was available. Because that system could be 
left on, the leak had to be in the LOX tank or hoses to the selector 
valves. We could not, however, nail down the source of the leak. 
If/when it was operational, we loved it because we had a much more 
than adequate supply of O2.
