A brief discussion on upgrade and renovation of medical oxygen systems
[Objective]To discuss the renovation of the oxygen system in a hospital,with the aim of improving the stability and safety of the oxygen supply,minimizing the impact on hospital operations,and ensuring medical safety.[Methods]The oxygen demand was calculated,determining that the emergency and respiratory wards required 113.64 m3/h and 85.695 m3/h of oxygen,respectively.Based on these data,specific renovation plans were proposed,including the addition of gas cylinders,replacement of pipelines,and installation of new pipeline maintenance valves.The renovation steps were detailed,and precautions during the construction process,such as communication with user departments,multi-department coordination,and emergency plan development,were emphasized.[Results]The renovation plan effectively resolved the issue of insufficient oxygen system pressure,particularly in the emergency and respiratory wards,ensuring the stability and safety of the oxygen supply.[Conclusion]When planning and designing oxygen systems,it is essential to consider more influencing factors and extreme usage scenarios to ensure the long-term reliable operation of the system.The importance of communication with relevant departments,multi-department coordination,and the development of emergency plans are emphasized to ensure the smooth execution of the renovation process and to minimize the impact on hospital operations.
