Emergency Oxygen & Respiratory Equipment: What Every Facility Should Have

When seconds count, the right oxygen equipment can mean the difference between life and loss. In 2025, healthcare facilities, EMS teams, schools, and even large workplaces are prioritizing emergency oxygen kits and advanced respiratory equipment to meet both patient needs and regulatory standards.

This guide breaks down the most critical devices—like the oxygen demand valve, flow selector valves, and resuscitator kits—and helps you determine what every facility should stock.

Understanding Oxygen Delivery: Demand Valve vs. Constant Flow

There are two primary oxygen delivery systems used in emergencies:

Demand Valve Oxygen Systems

• Delivers oxygen only when the patient inhales

• Reduces oxygen waste and extends tank life

• Ideal for trained responders and conscious patients

• Example: Allied Healthcare Demand Valve Resuscitator

Constant Flow Selector Valves

• Delivers oxygen continuously at a preset rate

• Easier to use in unresponsive or trauma patients

• Common in hospital oxygen wall systems and ambulances

• Example: Allied Flow Selector Valve with 0-25 LPM range

Pro tip: Use demand valves when you want to conserve oxygen, and constant flow valves when oxygen must be delivered without interruption.
