Low Flow Devices
Nasal cannula, simple face mask and nebulizer mask
Nasal Cannula
Max liter flow = 6 lpm
For more stable patients that can breath through their nose
Good for patients who can’t keep a mask on (vomiting)
Simple Face Mask
6-10 lpm
No reservoir bag
Not used often
Nebulizer Mask
4-6 lpm
Allows administration of Oxygen through the mask
Non-Rebreather Mask
12-15 lpm
Patient inhales from a reservoir bag but does not exhale back into it.
High Flow Devices
NRB, Filtered O2 mask
Filtered O2 Mask
Can run at low, medium or high concentrations
Compatible with nebulizer therapy
Can be used with any patient with suspected or confirmed respiratory infection
Ventilation Rates - Adult, Child and Infant
Adult - 1 every 6 seconds
Child - 1 every 3 seconds
Infant - 1 every 3 seconds
