Guest guest Posted September 9, 2003 Report Share Posted September 9, 2003 Hi , you are confusing oxygen tents with the old mist tents here. Oxygen tents are used in the hospital but they won't let you use it at home due to the risk that you could blow up the whole house if a crazy smoker lights his cigarette near the tent. I remember Jen Uphoff having that problem (not to be allowed to have an oxygen tent at home) a few years ago when Mallory had problems with her o2 saturation and she wanted to avoid a hospital stay.
