What is the maximum flow rate of oxygen that can be delivered by a medical oxygen regulator?

The maximum flow rate of oxygen that can be delivered by a medical oxygen regulator depends on the type of regulator and the level of pressure being used. Typically, medical oxygen regulators can deliver flow rates ranging from 0 to 25 liters per minute (LPM). However, some specialized regulators can deliver even higher flow rates, up to 60 LPM.
It is important to note that the maximum flow rate should not exceed the recommended flow rate for the specific oxygen delivery system being used, as higher flow rates can lead to complications such as oxygen toxicity or fire hazards. The recommended flow rate should be determined by a healthcare provider based on the patient's needs and condition.
