2.  O2 conc required by pt
 O2 conc achieved by the delivery device
 Importance of accuracy of device
 Client comfort and client mobility
DELIVERY SYSTEM- SELECTION

3. Prescription should include
Flow rate
Delivery device
Duration
Instruction for monitoring

4. O2 Delivery systems
Ambient pressure
– Variable performance devices
– Fixed performance devices
Positive pressure ventilation
– Non invasive (BIPAP, CPAP)
– Invasive

5. Classification
 Low flow systems
– do not provide constant FIO2
– Part of tidal volume is provided by room
air.
– Ex: nasal cannula, simple mask , rebreather
mask .
 High flow systems
– deliver specific and constant percent of
oxygen .
– Ex: Venturi mask .

6. Nasal cannula (prongs):
 It is a disposable.
plastic devise with two protruding
prongs for insertion into the nostrils,
connected to an oxygen source.
Used for low-medium concentrations of
Oxygen (25-45%).

8. Easy to use
Well tolerated
Comfortable for long period
Patient can eat and talk easily.
ADVANTAGES

9. Dryness of mucosa
Crusting over secretion
 Epistaxis
DISADVANTAGES

10. Face mask
The simple Oxygen mask
The partial rebreather mask:
The non rebreather mask:
The venturi mask:

11. The simple Oxygen mask
 Simple mask is made of
clear, flexible , plastic or
rubber that can be molded
to fit the face.
 It is held to the head with
elastic bands.
 Some have a metal clip that
can be bent over the bridge
of the nose for a
comfortable fit.

12. The simple Oxygen mask
It delivers 35% to 60% oxygen .
A flow rate of 6 to 10 liters per
minute.
Often it is used when an increased
delivery of oxygen is needed for
short periods

Wasting
Uncomfortable for pt
while eating or talking

14. Is prescribing O2
through face mask
@ 4L/min correct??

15. The non rebreather mask
 This mask provides the highest
concentration of oxygen (95-
100%) at a flow rate6-15 L/min.
The bag is an oxygen reservoir
 1 L reservoir bag

16. The non rebreather mask
 When the patient exhales
air. the one-way valve
closes and all of the expired
air is deposited into the
atmosphere, not the
reservoir bag.
 In this way, the patient is
not rebreathing any of the
expired gas.

19. Venturi mask
 It is high flow
concentration of oxygen.
Oxygen from 40 - 50%
At liters flow of 4 to 15
L/min.
The mask is so
constructed that there is
a constant flow of room
air blended with a fixed
concentration of oxygen

20. The venturi mask
 is designed with wide- bore tubing and
various color - coded jet adapters.
 Each color code corresponds to a precise
oxygen concentration and a specific liter
flow.
The venturi system,
 Room air dilutes the oxygen entering the
tubing to a certain concentration
 The amount of air drawn in is determined
by the size of the orifice (jet adapter).

21. The venturi mask
The narrower the jet adapter,
the greater the air dilution, and the
lower the concentration of oxygen.
 Operate on Bernoulli principle
- As gas flow under pressure at rapid
flow rate an area of pressure develops
lateral to the small opening and lead to
entrainment of room air through the side
port.
