This Ski Patrol, EMS, EMT training video covers using oxygen, including using a non re-breathing mask and a nasal cannula. To use the oxygen, crack the valve, check the O-ring, install the regulator and then set the flow. Max pressure for the non re-breather is 15 liters per minute and the max pressure for the nasal cannula is 6 liters per minute.

Oxygen Set Up With Non-Rebreather and Nasal Cannula

Saturday, September 5th, 2009

This video covers setting up your oxygen tank, then hooking up a non-rebreather, then switching that out for a nasal cannula and then dismantling the tank and regulator. The one thing I noticed is that she didn’t crack the tank before she put on the regulator. You need to crack the tank first to clear debris out of the tank/regulator interface so you don’t get junk in the regulator.
