Doug, How many triage situations would you have going on one bottle of O2 that most boats carry, most of them have one mask of each type not multiple. Unless there is a CF of magnitude then multiple patients in triage shouldn't be in the equation. I understand that all valves in place to provide the highest FO2 is what is desired, my question is why would it have been removed if there would be only one patient on a bottle and that patient was going to be continuously monitored? I don't understand that statement "We might run out of O2.. Well and good, but if the patient is being tended properly it shouldn't pose any hazard.
