Abstract: An oxygen bottle carrier apparatus is particularly designed for securing a "D" size oxygen storage cylinder to a medical patient transport stretcher for transport to, from, or in an emergency medical transport vehicle. The carrier apparatus includes a flexible, coated material bag, open at one end, with a drawstring closure and adjustable straps adapted to be mounted on the upper framework of the stretcher in unused space just in front of the upper and lower frame members of the stretcher at its head end. The adjustability of the straps allows for use of the apparatus with various models of stretchers. The oxygen bottle is inserted through the open end of the bag so that only the bottle stem and associated valves and gauges protrudes from the bag. The bag is then closed using the drawstring closure. The apparatus is then mounted to the head end of the stretcher upper frame members by use of two straps located at either end of the bag.
