the face into
which oxygen
flows

short-term use
● Not
well-tolerated
by children
SIMPLE MASKS

inflatable bag
that stores 100%
oxygen
PARTIAL REBREATHER
MASK
● Tube made of flexible rubber or plastic
● Delivers oxygen through the nose into the
posterior nasopharynx

clients

inflatable bag
and one-way
valve

highest oxygen
concentration
NON-REBREATHER
MASK

that mixes a
precise amount
of atmospheric air and oxygen

tubing and color
coded jet
adapters
VENTURI MASK
● “Croup tent”
● For children beyond early infancy, most likely
active toddlers
● Children should be covered with a gown or
cotton blanket
OXYGEN TENT
● “Face bucket”
● Soft piece of plastic sits beneath the chin,
mouth & nose not enclosed by plastic
● For clients with facial trauma or burns
FACE TENT
● A rigid plastic dome that encloses an infant’s
head
● Provides precise oxygen levels and high
humidity
OXYGEN HOOD
● Also called Ambu bag
● Made of rubber or silicone and forms part of
the basic life support equipment in all clinical
settings.
● Provides positive pressure ventilation and
high concentration of oxygen
MANUAL RESUSCITATION BAGS
To allow uninterrupted delivery of oxygen
while the client ingests food or fluids
NASAL CANNULA
To provide moderate O2 support and a higher
concentration of oxygen and/or humidity
than is provided by cannula.
SIMPLE FACE MASK
● To provide O2 support and a higher
concentration of oxygen
● Administered to infants who can breathe on
their own
OXYGEN HOOD
● A group of treatment that serves as a means of
clearing the lungs of accumulated mucus
● Uses gravity & physical therapy
CHEST PHYSIOTHERAPY
OXYGEN LIFESPAN COMPUTATION
PSI - 200 X CYLINDER LETTER / FLOW RATE IN L /MIN
INDICATIONS FOR CHEST PHYSIOTHERAPY
● With increased amounts of mucus or thick
secretions
● With weak breathing muscles
● With ineffective cough
Consist of diaphragmatic & pursed-lip breathing
& effective coughing practices to achieve a more
efficient & controlled ventilation
★ ALWAYS INHALE FROM THE NOSE because it
can filter the air, and make it warm and humid.
BREATHING/COUGHING EXERCISES
● Strengthens the diaphragm during breathing
● FREQUENCY: Five (5) minutes, several times a day
BEFORE meals & at bedtime.
DIAPHRAGMATIC BREATHING
● Improves oxygen transport
● Helps induce a slow, deep breathing pattern
● Helps prevent alveolar collapse
PURSED LIP BREATHING
● Enhances effects of spontaneous cough
● Serves as prophylaxis against postoperative
pulmonary complications
★ If the PT’s cough is weak, ask them to cough
again
COUGHING EXERCISE
A rhythmical force provided by clapping the
cupped hands against the chest wall of the client to
loosen or dislodge retained secretions.
CHEST PERCUSSION/CLAPPING
● Used after or alternately with percussion to loosen
secretions.
● Application of vigorous quivering or tremor to the
chest wall during expiration to help increase the
velocity of expired tidal volume from the small
airways.
CHEST VIBRATION/SHAKING
Use of specific positions to drain secretions from
the affected bronchioles of the lung segments into
the bronchi & trachea through the force of gravity.
Patient remains in each position for 10-15 minutes
POSTURAL DRAINAGE
Presence of hypotension or vasoactive medication
REVERSE TRENDELENBURG POSITION
● A process of adding medications or moisture to
inspired air.
● Improves airway clearance
NEBULIZATION
Relax airway muscles, making breathing easier.
Delivered as a mist for rapid relief in asthma and
COPD.
Bronchodilators
Thin and break down mucus, aiding in its
clearance. Nebulized for direct action in the
lungs.
Mucolytics
Reduce airway inflammation and swelling.
Inhaled mist targets lungs to control
Corticosteroids
The aspiration of secretions through a catheter
connected to a suction machine or wall suction
outlet.
SUCTIONING
Removes secretions from the upper respiratory
tract.
ORAL SUCTIONING
● Provides closer access to the trachea and requires
sterile technique
● For comatose and stuporous patient
ORO/NASOTRACHEAL SUCTIONING
Removes secretions from the upper respiratory tract
ORO/NASOPHARYNGEAL SUCTIONING
A tube that is inserted directly to the trachea -
A tube that is inserted in the mouth to the trachea with the use of laryngoscope -
TRACHEOSTOMY TUBE
ENDOTRACHEAL TUBE
Via endotracheal tube or tracheostomy
TRACHEAL SUCTIONING
disconnect the client from the ventilator and reconnect again.
Open Method
the suction catheter attaches to the ventilator
tubing and the client does not need to be
disconnected from the ventilator.
Closed Airway/Tracheal Suction (in-line suction)
Study of the actions and effects of drugs within a
living system.
