The article focuses on selected aspects of designing medical gas pipelines in hospitals. These are the following issues: momentary balance of demand for medical gases and the principles of designing the distribution pipeline system. The issues of backup systems supplying the collection points were also discussed. The article omits the issues of the construction of devices supplying medical gases, focusing on the correct selection of their capacity to the size of demand. The following installations are discussed in the article: oxygen (O2), nitrous oxide {N2O), compressed air for medical purposes (MA4), compressed air for surgical purposes (SA7), vacuum (VAC). The design principles for other media are similar.
