A

oxygen tent

27
Q

the delivery of oxygen for therapeutic purposes

the process of the exchange of air between the lungs and the environment, including inhalation and exhalation

A

ventilation

40
Q

an oxygen-delivery apparatus consisting of a mask with holes on each side that allow exhaled air to escape and color-coded entrainment ports that are adjustable to allow regulation of the concentration of oxygen delivered

A

venturi mask
