Tim et ak,

This is not just insane; it is potentially quite harmful, unethical, etc.

Hi all,

A colleague of mine came across the following study when searching for some H2/O2 safety data. We're rather shocked that someone is administering a 2:1 mix of hydrogen and oxygen to patients via nasal cannula. Having zero background in medicine, I have no idea whether breathing explosive mixtures is a common practice, but the chemist in me says this is an explosion (inside the respiratory tract!) waiting to happen. Any thoughts? Is this as insane as I think it is?
