What is oxygen supply?

Oxygen is supplied to the patients in the hospital in two forms, in portable tanks and in the main hospital oxygen tank. Portable tanks are used to supply oxygen to patients when they move around the hospital for tests, therapy or simply walking. The main hospital oxygen tank is connected to the hospital rooms through pipes. The oxygen connector may be seen coming out of the wall of a patient's room. The hospital staff will place a special adapter into the connector that is used to regulate the amount of oxygen that can be delivered to a patient.
