UTHSCSA N3802 Oxygen Therapy Equipment

QuestionAnswer
Nasal Cannula at 1L/min 24% FiO2
Nasal Cannula at 2L/min 28% FiO2
Nasal Cannula at 3L/min 32% FiO2
Nasal Cannula at 4L/min 36% FiO2
Nasal Cannula at 5L/min 40% FiO2
Nasal Cannula at 6L/min 44% FiO2
O2 in the air 21%
What range of % of FiO2 can a nasal cannula provide? 24-44%
What range of rates can O2 be set at on a nasal cannula? 1 to 4L/min
Simple Face Mask 5-6L/min 40% FiO2
Simple Face Mask 6-7L/min 50% FiO2
Simple Face Mask 7-8L/min 60% FiO2
Simple Face Mask >8L/min 60% FiO2
What range of % FiO2 can a simple face mask provide? 40-60%
What range of rates can O2 be set at on a simple face mask? 5-8L/min
Venturi mask 4L/min 24-28% FiO2
Venturi mask 8L/min 35-40% FiO2
Venturi mask 12L/min 50-60% FiO2
What range of % FiO2 can a venture mask provide? 24-60%
What range of rates can O2 be set at on a Venturi mask? 4, 8, or 12 L/min
What are the advantages of a nasal cannula? safe and simple; easily tolerated; delivers low concentrations while allowing the client to eat, speak, and drink; does not impede eating or talking; inexpensive; disposable
What are disadvantages of a nasal cannula? unable to use with nasal obstruction; drying to mucous membranes; can dislodge easily; causes skin irritation or breakdown; clients breathing pattern will affect exact FiO2
What are advantages of a simple face mask? assist in providing humidified oxygen
What are disadvantages of a simple face mask? Exact FiO2 level is difficult to estimate; requires high FiO2 levels to prevent rebreathing of carbon dioxide; client inhales room air through side holes in the mask
What are advantages of Venturi masks? controls the amt of specified oxygen concentration; does not dry mucous membranes, delivers humidity with oxygen concentration
What are disadvantages of Venturi masks? hot and confining; increased levels of humidification can irritate skin; a specific flow rate is necessary to deliver a specific FiO2, FiO2 can decrease if the mask does not fit; interferes with eating and talking
What range of % FiO2 can a partial rebreathing reservoir bag mask provide? 40-60%
What range of rates can O2 be set at on a partial rebreathing reservoir bag mask? 6-10 L/min
What range of % FiO2 can a nonrebreathing reservoir bag mask provide? 60-100%
What range of rates can O2 be set at on a nonrebreathing reservoir bag mask? 6-15 L/min
What range of % FiO2 can a face tent provide? 28-100%
What range of rates can O2 be set at on a face tent? 8- 12 L/min
What range of % FiO2 can an oxygen hood provide at 5-8L/min? 24-40%
What range of % FiO2 can an oxygen hood provide at 8-12L/min? 40-85%
What range of % FiO2 can an oxygen tent provide? up to 50%
What range of rates can O2 be set at on an oxygen tent? 10-15L/min
What is the lowest flow rate a nasal cannula can be set on? 1L/min
What is the highest flow rate a nasal cannula can be set on? 6L/min
What is the lowest flow rate a simple face mask should be set at? 8L/min
What is the highest flow rate a simple face mask should be set at? 12L/min
What is the lowest flow rate a mask with a reservoir bag should be set at? 6L/min
Why do masks with reservoir bags have to have the flow rate set above 6L/min? below 6L/min there is a risk of carbon dioxide rebreathing
What is a partial rebreathing reservoir bag mask? mask with no inspiratory valve so that the beginning portion of exhaled air returns to the bag and mixes with the inspired air; ports allow most expired air to escape
What is a nonrebreathing reservoir bag mask? mask with valves that close during expiration so that the exhaled air does not enter the reservoir and is not rebreathed; valves close on inspiration to prevent inhalation of room air
What is a face tent? soft aerosol mask that fits loosely around the face and neck
What are the advantages of a face tent? convenient for providing humidification and oxygenation, alternative to an aerosol mask for those who feel claustrophobic
What are the disadvantages of a face tent? oxygen concentration cannot be controlled, difficult to keep in place
What is an oxygen hood? a disposable vinyl box that fits over a child’s head to provide warm humidified oxygen at a controlled temperature
What flow rate should an oxygen hood not be set at and why? set no less than 5 L/min or it could lead to carbon dioxide narcosis
What is an oxygen tent? a canopy that encloses the child and is used to provide oxygen, humidification, and a cool environment to control temperature
