, Explain the hazards of medical gas cylinder storage in Pt care spaces
1. High pressure hazard: act like a projectile or spin in circles with great
force if the cylinder valve is damaged
2. Flammable gas: possible ignition by ignition sources
3. Oxidizing gas: cause combustible or non-combustible materials to
burn hot and bright
4.Displaced oxygen: reducing oxygen concentration below what is
needed to support life.
5.Compressed Gases: Empty cylinders can be easily mistaken as being
full
