The use of medicinal oxygen can be dangerous. The spontaneous combustion of an oxygen cylinder was the cause of a fire in an operating theatre and an emergency medical service. The fire developed after turning on the gas main while the flow supply valve was already open. Not opening the pressure reduction valve while the oxygen flow supply valve is open can prevent this type of fire. Information from the contractor shows that the probability of such an incident is 1 in a million.
医用氧气的使用可能存在危险。一个氧气瓶自燃是手术室和急救医疗服务机构发生火灾的原因。在气流供应阀已经打开的情况下打开主气阀后引发了火灾。在氧气气流供应阀打开时不打开减压阀可以防止此类火灾。承包商提供的信息表明，此类事件发生的概率为百万分之一。
