This script will help you with nursing-related oxygen calculations.
Also available as an online tool, scroll down for the link.

Usage: ./o2.sh $si $pr $to $do
Three variables are needed, the other will be calculated. Unknown variable should be entered as 0
$si = Size of the o2 tank in liters (eg 2, 5, 10)
$pr = Pressure in o2 tank in atm (eg 120, 65, 90)
$to = Total time o2 needs to run in minutes (eg 720, 300, 1500)
$do = Dosage of o2 in ltr per minute (eg 2, 4, 10)
example: ./o2.sh 2 85 2 0 will output 85 minutes.
example: ./o2.sh 40 90 720 0 will output 5 liters per minute

Online version
Thanks to the Illumination Software Creator application builder I've made
an online version. Same license, has bugs, not ready for production, regular
blabla.. Use on your own risk.
