The Oxygen Crisis

On Saturday (3/7/2021), the hospital reported that central liquid medical oxygen supply had been exhausted at 8 p.m. Its reserve of oxygen tanks would only last for another four to six hours.

In April 2020, the World Health Organization issued a method to calculate the need for oxygen.

Patients in a severe condition need 10 liters of oxygen per minute or 600 liters per hour, whereas critical patients need 30 liters per minute or 1,800 liters per hour.
