RESUMEN

This study introduces the "Adjustable Oxygen Adapter," designed to address interruptions in oxygen supply for patients transitioning from oxygen spray bottles, particularly in wards with single-outlet flowmeters. Inspired by the "Three-Way Piston Rotating Adapter," this innovative design, operated by a single switch, ensures uninterrupted oxygen supply during equipment changes. Stability testing, conducted with a flow monitor by a respiratory therapist, confirms that the adapter provides a stable flow rate and oxygen concentration, offering a practical solution for seamless transitions between oxygen devices in clinical settings.
