The gauge should register in the green range,which indicates that there is an adequate amount of oxygen in the cylinder.The respiratory therapy department oversees oxygen administration,but there is no reason to contact them because there is no problem.The cylinder of oxygen being used is fine and does not need to be replaced at this time.The oxygen rate is considered medication and should not be changed.
