Cylinder conversion factor = 0.98 L /psig * All calculations are based on a full cylinder (2000 psig, 353 liters “D”, 1963 liters “88”) changed at 200 psig. Based on total continuous flow. • INOMAX Flow = [Desired dose x total ventilator flow] / Cylinder concentration-desired dose • Cylinder volume = Cylinder conversion factor x cylinder psig • Cylinder duration = Cylinder volume / INOMAX Flow rate Calculations are considered estimates and may vary under clinical circumstances.
Oxygen Duration Chart Oxygen Dilution Duration During INOMAX® (nitric oxide) for inhalation Therapy When INOMAX is injected into the inspiratory limb of the breathing circuit, the oxygen concentration (FiO2) is diluted. The amount of dilution depends on the INOMAX dose and the set FiO2. The following formula can be used to calculate the amount of oxygen dilution:
[INOMAX dose / cylinder concentration] x set FiO2
