Oxygen tent: A tent-like device used to deliver high levels of oxygen to a patient in a bed.
Oxygen is a colorless, odorless and tasteless gas that makes up about 20 percent of the air we breathe (and at least half the weight of the entire solid crust of the earth) and which combines with most of the other elements to form oxides.

Oxygen inhalation should be instituted, even if there are no signs of injury and should be carried on for 30 min of each hour for 6 hr.
Because the administration of oxygen should be continuous (1 hr maximum for continuous treatment with 100% oxygen), a small portable oxygen tank plus mask should be available for use during transfer of a patient from the plant to a hospital.
