Q

Supplemental Oxygen: Flow Rate = Low Flow Oxygen

A

Supplies oxygen at flow rates that are lower than patient’s inspiratory demand

Fraction of Inspired Oxygen (FIO2) varies with respiratory rate (RR) and tidal volume (TV) = LFNC supplements O2 needs

1 – 6 L/min

18
Q

Supplemental Oxygen: Flow Rate = High Flow Oxygen

A

More precise O2 delivery

FiO2 does not vary with respiratory rate and tidal volume = exceeds O2 needs

Up to 60 L/min

19
Q

Effective Oxygen therapy is about =

A

finding a balance between delivering the lowest FiO2 in order to achieve normal oxygen saturations for the patient

20
Q

Low Flow Oxygen - nasal cannula

A

1-6 L/min

Delivers approximately 25-40% FIO2

Simple and safe

Connected to an O2 source and regulated by a flow meter

Easily mobile when connected to portable O2 tanks

Can be humidified = usually when >3 liters/min flow

21
Q

High Flow Nasal Cannula (HFNC)

A

Adjustable FiO2: 28% to 100% via an O2 blender

Adjustable Flow Rate: 10 - 60 L/Min; typically used in 30-60 range

Provides humidity

22
Q

HFNC - goals of Hi-Flow

A

treat hypoxemia

decrease WOB

provide adequate humidity for a trached patient

23
Q

Benefits of HFNC compared to a mask =

A

patient comfort

patient can communicate more easily

can eat and drink without changing O2 devices

allows for easier oral care maintenance

adjustable FiO2

meets their inspiratory demands = decrease work of breathing - by adjusting flow

24
Q

High Flow: Venturi Face Mask (Venti Mask)

A

Mask connected to a Venturi entrainment port device that mixes a specific volume of air and O2 (“dial-a-flow”) = Each valve tells you what flow is needed to achieve the desired FiO2

Precise levels of oxygen, humidification not needed

25
Q

High Flow: Venturi Face Mask (Venti Mask)
Disadvantages =

A

eating and talking

uncomfortable

air leakage

skin and eye irritation

26
Q

High Flow: Venturi Face Mask (Venti Mask)
colors and rates =

A

white:
flow = 4-6L/min
FiO2 = 28%

yellow:
flow = 8-10L/min
FiO2 = 35%

red:
flow = 10-12L/min
FiO2 = 40%

green:
flow = 12-15L/min
FiO2 = 60%

27
Q

Oxymizer pendant vs mustache =

A

Mustache (20 L/min)
Pendant (15 L/min)

28
Q

Oxymizer =

A

Conserves O2 through the use of a reservoir as it stores O2 during exhalation and delivers an O2 bolus during inhalation = long term use to decrease flow and increased oxygen concentration

Provides more O2 with less flow than other devices

Self-humidifying

29
Q

Low Flow: Aerosol Mask

A

Connected to wide bore tubing that receives aerosolized O2 from a nebulizer

Two holes for exhalation

FIO2: 40% - 60%

Flow: 6-15 L/min

Humidification may be needed

Short term use = replaced by nasal cannula

Used for high concentration of oxygen; no breathing assistance needed

30
Q

Low Flow: Aerosol Mask
Disadvantages =

A

Eating and talking
Rebreathing exhaled air

31
Q

Rebreathing Mask 2 types =

A

Aerosol mask with a reservoir bag = 1 Liter volume to store pure oxygen

Partial Rebreather
Non-Rebreather

32
Q

Rebreathing Mask
Disadvantages =

A

Eating and talking
Skin irritation
Air leakage from the mask

33
Q

Low/High Flow: Non-Rebreather Face Mask

A

FiO2: 60-90% FIO2

10 - 15 L/min

Works using a one-way valve that prevents exhalation into the reservoir bag and allows inhalation of nearly pure O2

Used for short term, hospital situation

34
Q

Low/High Flow: Non-Rebreather Face Mask
Disadvantages =

A

Eating = desaturate when mask is off

Risk of hyperoxygenation

35
Q

Partial Rebreather =

A

FiO2: 40%-70%
6 – 10 L/min

No valve in the mask = exhaled air may be inspired again

Used for longer periods of time
