Nitrous oxide
Pain relief and sedation.
- Anaesthesia with oxygen in theatres
- Dental sedation
- Pain relief in labour rooms
Carbon dioxide
For keyhole surgery and clinics.
- Laparoscopic surgery (inflating the abdomen)
- Cryotherapy in skin and gynae clinics
- Incubators in hospital labs
Nitrogen
For tools, labs and lines.
- Driving pneumatic surgical tools
- Lab analysers
- Purging gas lines
How hospitals use each gas
Every department uses gas differently. We plan the cylinder sizes and refills for each one.
Wards and ICU
Patients on oxygen therapy get it through a regulator, flowmeter and humidifier, by nasal cannula or mask. ICU ventilators draw oxygen nonstop, so the ICU is usually the biggest user in the building. Most hospitals keep large cylinders on a manifold with a full set on standby, so the swap happens without the patient noticing.
Operation theatres
Anaesthesia machines blend oxygen with nitrous oxide to keep the patient asleep and pain free. Keyhole (laparoscopic) surgery uses CO₂ to gently inflate the abdomen, so the surgeon has room to see and work. Theatres need every cylinder full before the first case of the day.
Emergency and ambulances
Small, light cylinders (around 10 litre) ride in ambulances and on trolleys for patient transfers. They empty fast and need a quick turnaround, because an ambulance cannot leave with an empty cylinder.
Dental and day care clinics
Dentists use nitrous oxide with oxygen for calm, conscious sedation. Skin and gynae clinics use CO₂ for cryotherapy and minor procedures. Clinics use less gas, so smaller cylinders and a monthly refill usually work best.
Hospital labs
Pathology and research labs use CO₂ to run incubators and nitrogen for analysers. Lab gas needs a steady supply and a consistent grade, cylinder after cylinder.
Patients at home
Families caring for a patient at home take an oxygen cylinder on rent or buy one, with the regulator and flowmeter set up. When it runs low, we refill it or swap it for a full one.
How long does an oxygen cylinder last?
Divide the litres of gas in the cylinder by the flow in litres per minute. The answer is how many minutes it will last.
| Flow rate | 6.8 cubic meter cylinder | 9.91 cubic meter cylinder |
|---|---|---|
| 1 L/min | about 113 hours | about 165 hours |
| 2 L/min | about 56 hours | about 82 hours |
| 5 L/min | about 22 hours | about 33 hours |
| 10 L/min | about 11 hours | about 16 hours |
Approximate times from a full cylinder at a steady flow. Always keep a spare.
How we keep your hospital supplied
Oxygen, nitrous oxide, CO₂ and nitrogen from one supplier, so your team makes one call.
Who we supply
We do not publish the names of the hospitals and clinics we supply.
Safe handling
No smoking, no flames
Oxygen makes fire burn far faster. Keep cylinders away from heaters, stoves and anyone smoking.
No oil or grease
Oil on a valve or regulator can ignite under oxygen pressure. Handle fittings with clean, dry hands.
Store upright and chained
Keep cylinders standing, secured to a wall or trolley, in a cool room with fresh air.
Medical cylinders for patients
Use medical (MF) cylinders for patients. Never connect an industrial cylinder to a patient.
Frequently asked questions
Do you supply medical oxygen to hospitals in Lahore?
Yes. We supply medical oxygen, nitrous oxide, CO₂ and nitrogen to hospitals and clinics across Lahore, with refills on a fixed schedule and urgent top ups on WhatsApp.
Can you deliver an oxygen cylinder for a patient at home?
Yes. You can rent or buy an oxygen cylinder with the regulator and flowmeter. Send your location on WhatsApp and we confirm the delivery time.
How long will one oxygen cylinder last?
It depends on the cylinder size and the flow the doctor prescribes. As a guide, a 6.8 cubic meter cylinder at 2 litres per minute lasts about 56 hours. See the table on this page for other sizes and flows.
Do you supply nitrous oxide for dental clinics?
Yes. We supply nitrous oxide for dental sedation and theatre anaesthesia, in cylinder sizes that suit a clinic.
Can you set up a fixed weekly supply for our hospital?
Yes. Tell us your usage and we set a weekly, twice weekly or monthly schedule, with full cylinders in and empties out on the same visit.
Which cylinder sizes do you have for medical use?
Medical (MF) cylinders from 10 litre up to 80 litre, with large ones holding 6.8 or 9.91 cubic meters of gas. Small ones suit ambulances and home patients, large ones suit wards and ICUs.
