SAFETY NOTE
• Oxygen supports combustion process. Smoking and open re are not permitted when oxygen
is used during therapy.
• Several deaths occurred in hospitals in the past due to patients who smoked despite being
treated with oxygen. In order to take a drag, the oxygen tube was removed from the face and
put on the bed. This made it possible for the oxygen to spread across the beddings and the
patient’s clothes. The patient fell asleep and the lit cigarette set the bedding on re. It was not
possible to ght the re due to the spread oxygen. It kept burning even after the attempts to
extinguish it. The patient nally died of the burnings.
