Oxygen causing harm?

[triemal04]

About the overall mortality maybe not; about whether it is harmful or not or if there are drawbacks, I'd say yes.

Some study must have popped up. B/c something has changed. I used to buy NRB's by the case, now I buy like six..at a time. Six masks.. A cylinder lasts three months, vs a few weeks. Keep changing stuff, so it's cheaper to run a service. We could save loads if they did away with board and collars.

We already did.

I can't pull up the actual study, but are those results statistically significant?

They aren't, not even close. So no reason to suspect even a signal especially when the rest of the data all suggest harm.
