OXYGEN, REFRIGERATED LIQUID USP UN 1073 is a compressed gas and is extremely dangerously combustible. It has to be kept in an upright position at all times with adequate ventilation. Smoking is prohibited in the presence of oxygen, as it accelerates combustion, and combustibles can explode on contact with liquid oxygen due to its extreme cold oxidization. Liquid oxygen can cause severe frostbite; hence it should not be touched directly. Outfitted for oxygen administration, this oxygen is used in emergencies for resuscitation and oxygen-deficiency, but not on patients who have stopped breathing unless combined with resuscitative equipment. The Material Safety Data Sheet should be followed while handling the oxygen. In case of frostbite, immediate medical attention should be sought.
