But you won't know untill you try.
Mind: the bottle has to have a regulator that allows for 7-12/15 liters per minute and you MUST have a mask, preferably a non-rebreather mask.
Canules (like you see in hospitals) are NO F"ING GOOD!
You can buy a small mask cheap at a medical supplies' store, a non-rebreather mask costs more. Ideally you have to have your doc/neuro prescribe this.
If that's a no-go, do as Margi suggested and get welders' supplies, a custom made regulator and a small mask.
Hope it works for you.
