Most portable liquid oxygen (LOX) containers are designed to be used upright; a few models can be used either upright or on their backs. If tipped into other positions, the containers may leak, presenting a risk of injury and increasing the chances of a fire. Healthcare providers who work with patients using these devices--whether in the hospital or home care setting--must know which positions the devices can be safely operated in, as well as how to react if the devices are tipped into unsafe positions.
大多数便携式液氧（LOX）容器设计为直立使用；少数型号既可以直立使用，也可以背向放置使用。如果倾斜到其他位置，容器可能会泄漏，存在受伤风险并增加火灾几率。使用这些设备为患者提供护理的医疗服务人员——无论是在医院还是家庭护理环境中——都必须知道设备在哪些位置可以安全操作，以及如果设备倾斜到不安全位置时应如何应对。
