-
most commonly used oxygen delivery device
nasal cannula
-
does not impede eating or speaking and is easily used at home
nasal cannula
-
mask that is connected to oxygen tubing, a humidifier, and a flowmeter, has vents on both side to dilute the oxygen and allowed exhaled carbon dioxide to escape. often used when increased delivery of oxygen is needed in a short amount of time
oxygen mask
-
never apply the simple oxygen mask with a delivery flow rate of less than ......
5 liters per minute
-
mask equipped witha reservoir bag for the collection of the first part of the pateint's exhaled air. the air in the reservoir is mixed with 100% oxygen for the next inhalation
partial rebreather
-
this mask permits the conservation fo oxygen
partial rebreather
-
patient can inhale room air through openings if flow is briefly interupted
partial rebreather
-
delivers highest concentration of oxygen via a mask to a spontaneously breathing patient. two one way valves prevent the patient from rebreathing exhaled air
non rebreather
-
malfunction of bag could use carbon dioxide build up and suffocation
non rebreather
-
allows the mask to deliver the most precise concentration of oxygen. has a large tube with an oxygen inlet, tube narrows and pressure drops causing air to be sucked in through side ports.
venturi mask
-
