Question

1) NASAL CANNULA: If the nasal mucous membranes become dry, a water source can be placed on the system to humidify the oxygen. O2 delivered __-___L/min

2) A rate of 5-10 L/min can deliver oxygen concentrations from 40% to 60%.
3) mask uses a reservoir to capture some exhaled gas for rebreathing. Vents on the sides of the mask allow room air to mix with oxygen. It can deliver oxygen concentrations of 50% or greater. (minimum 10L)
4) mask has one or both side vents closed to limit the mixing of room air with oxygen. The vents open to allow exhalation but remain closed on inhalation. The reservoir bag has a valve to store oxygen for inhalation but does not allow entry of exhaled air. It is used to deliver oxygen concentrations of 70% to 100%. (Minimum 10L/min)
5) a small tube that is surgically placed through the base of the neck directly into the trachea to deliver oxygen (long term O2 therapy)
6) used for the patient who requires precise percentages of oxygen, such as the patient with chronic lung disease with CO 2 retention. A combination of valves and specified flow rates determines oxygen concentration.
A) 1-6 / Simple mask / Non-rebreather mask / Tracheostomy tube / Venturi mask
B) 2-8 / Partial rebreather mask / T-piece / Endotracheal tube / Face tent
C) 3-10 / Venturi mask / High-flow nasal cannula / Tracheostomy collar / Simple mask
D) 4-12 / Oxygen tent / BiPAP / CPAP / Face mask

Answer 1

This explains the different oxygen delivery devices and their oxygen concentration ranges.

Step-by-step explanation:

1) The nasal cannula delivers oxygen at a rate of 1-6 L/min. If the nasal mucous membranes become dry, water can be added to the system to humidify the oxygen.

2) A rate of 5-10 L/min using a simple mask can deliver oxygen concentrations from 40% to 60%.

3) A non-rebreather mask uses a reservoir to capture exhaled gas for rebreathing and can deliver oxygen concentrations of 50% or greater at a minimum flow rate of 10L/min.

4) A venturi mask has one or both side vents closed to limit the mixing of room air with oxygen. It is used to deliver oxygen concentrations of 70% to 100% at a minimum flow rate of 10L/min.

5) A tracheostomy tube is a small tube surgically placed in the trachea to deliver oxygen for long-term oxygen therapy.

6) A venturi mask is used for patients who require precise percentages of oxygen and is determined by a combination of valves and specified flow rates.
