What is a Flowmeter? | Oxygen Therapy

A flowmeter is a device used to measure the flow rate of a gas or liquid passing through a system. In the context of oxygen therapy, a flowmeter is typically used to regulate the flow of oxygen from a tank or concentrator to the patient. By adjusting the flow rate, healthcare providers can ensure that the patient receives the appropriate amount of oxygen to meet their needs. Flowmeters are essential tools in oxygen therapy to monitor and control the delivery of oxygen to patients with respiratory conditions.
