PartySafe Medics Now Has Oxygen Tanks

PartySafe Medics earned G-46 approval from the Fire Department of New York to carry non-compressed, medical-grade oxygen tanks on-site.

Several dr*g classes depress the central nervous system, including benzodiazepines, barbiturates, opioids, alcohol, and GHB (often more severely when used in combination). 

This diminishes involuntary respiration by slowing down one’s breath rate and reducing breathing depth, while also slowing down heart rate.

In contrast, stimulants can impede proper breathing due to hyperventilation, during which a person breathes too fast and shallow. These effects on a person’s respiration can lead to insufficient delivery of oxygen to the brain (also called “hypoxia”). 

Prolonged hypoxia can lead to permanent brain injury, cardiac arrest, and death.

Instead of waiting for arrival of an ambulance (during which the person’s condition worsens), having and using on-site oxygen allows for immediate administration and greatly reduces the risk of hypoxic brain injury.
