nitrogen Wholesale Nicolas Feldhahn Jersey , 21 oxygen and the other 1 being a mixture of argon, hydrogen, carbon dioxide and other rare gases. Obviously it is the oxygen component that is vital for human life. Medical professionals keep special types of oxygen masks to hand in case of emergency situations where patients need to breathe more easily. The types of oxygen masks available fall into two categories: rebreather and non rebreather masks. Here we will give you a guide to both.

Rebreather oxygen masks have a soft plastic reservoir bag at one end which saves approximately one third of a person s air. The rest of the air is let out via ports in the side which are covered with a one way valve. The purpose of this is to allow the person to re breathe some of the carbon dioxide. This acts as a way of stimulating breathing again.

The non rebreather masks are slightly different to the rebreather masks in that it has several one way valves fixed in the side ports. This particular type of oxygen mask will also have a reservoir bag attached, however the bad has a one way valve which will prevent the exhaled carbon dioxide from getting back into the resevoir. Clearly this mask will prevent the patient from re breathing the air as it is able to escape through the side ports.

The purpose of both of these masks is to provide large high volumes of oxygen to patients who require them in emergency situations. Common conditions which require a high supply level of oxygen are cardiac disease, shock or trauma Wholesale Milos Pantovic Jersey , severe blood loss, seizures and of course hypoxia (severe blood loss).

As well as rebreather and non rebreather oxygen masks, there are several other types of masks each with it s own specific use. Valve bag masks consist of a manual respirator who s purpose is to deliver pure oxygen to the patient, aeroplanes have oxygen masks which drop down from cabins in emergency situations, vets have specially made masks for use on animals Wholesale Mats Hummels Jersey , firefighters have their own self contained breathing apparatus which also doubles up in it s use as it also provides eye and face protection. Because breathing oxygen is clearly hazardous in areas where fires may be burning, self contained breathing apparatus such as those used by firefighters are normally filled with compressed breathing air rather than oxygen. Mountain climbers also have their own specially made oxygen masks and of course fighter pilots have their own aviator masks.

Special caution must be exercised when it comes to using oxygen masks as oxygen is a obviously a flammable gas. In the case where someone is receiving oxygen there should be a no smoking sign clearly displayed. Any electrical equipment in the vicinity should also be fitted with grounding adaptors to avoid the risk of any sparks. Any person using oxygen at home should be thoroughly trained and briefed on the dangers involved such as using the oxygen supply close to stoves or any portable heating units such as an electrical fire. Oxygen tanks music be held in a specially made cart so that they can be transported around without getting jolted, bumped or dropped as this could cause the tank to become punctured and risk the chance of an explosion.

Munich provides a welcome break for tourists Published: 13.10.2008 | Author: pmcindoe | Category: Destinations

Although being Germany’s third largest city, Munich has the country’s strongest economy and lowest unemployment rates for a major city.

Munich’s popularity is such that it is twinned with seven cities worldwide – including Cincinnati Wholesale Marco Friedl Jersey , Bordeaux and Kiev.


Every year, people from around the globe descend on the German city to experience its rich culture. The operas and orchestral work of Europe’s great composers are regularly on show in Munich’s many theatres and music halls. Famous composers such as Wagner and Strauss spent much of their lives drawing inspiration from the city, as did Queen singer Freddie Mercury.


The River Isar flows through Munich, and the Deutsches Museum can be found on an island on this river. The building is one of the world’s oldest science and technology museums and is a major draw for some visitors.


In 2006, the Earth’s focus was on Germany as it hosted the football World Cup and Munich’s Allianz Arena was one of the 12 venues chosen for the tournament. In all Wholesale Manuel Wintzheimer Jersey , six games were held at the stadium including the opening match of the competition and one of semi-finals. The German national team, as well as the city’s two professional teams – Bayern Munich and 1860 Munich – play their home games at the Allianz Arena.


The stadium has a unique design and the entire exterior of the building is comprised of panels that can be individually coloured using lights. Depending on whom the home team is on any given matchday, the stadium changes colour to match their strip – white for Germany, red for Bayern Munich and blue for 1860 Munich. Before the Allianz Arena was opened in 2005, the Munich clubs played their home games at the Olympic Stadium – which was built specifically as the main venue for the 1972 Olympic Games.
