Question

A baby requires positive-pressure ventilation due to apnea, but soon established spontaneous respirations and a heart rate over 100 beats per minute. Her oxygen saturation levels are lower than the target levels when in room air, so you wish to provide free-flow supplemental oxygen. Free-flow oxygen is not reliably delivered with which device?

Answer 1

mask attached to self-inflating bag

Step-by-step explanation:

Inability to breathe is called apnea. Individuals suffering from apnea, there is no muscles movement of inhalation and therefore the lungs volume do not change initially.

In the context, the baby once suffering from apnea was given ventilation and then later on, her breathing becomes normal. Now I wished to provide free flow oxygen but he free flow oxygen can not be delivered with a mask that is attached to a self inflating bag, however free flow oxygen can be given through an open reservoir.
