An oxygen flow meter is an essential portable medical device used to measure and regulate the amount of oxygen delivered to a patient. It is typically a small, transparent device connected to an oxygen tank or supply, featuring a gauge or dial that displays the flow rate in liters per minute (LPM). The flow meter allows medical personnel to adjust the oxygen flow with a control knob or lever to meet the patient’s specific needs. It includes a clear scale for easy readability, ensuring that the right amount of oxygen is delivered consistently. By providing precise control over the oxygen supply, the flow meter helps prevent both under- or over-delivery of oxygen, which is crucial for patient safety and effective treatment in emergencies.
