The document outlines various oxygen delivery devices and their indications for use in treating conditions like hypoxia and emergency situations. It details the side effects and specific features of devices such as simple oxygen masks, venturi masks, non-rebreathing masks, oxygen hoods, nasal cannulas, face tents, and tracheostomy masks. Each device has specified flow rates and expected oxygen concentrations for effective therapy.
Indications for Oxygentherapy
Treatment of documented hypoxia/hypoxemia determined by SpO2 or PaO2.
Treatment of an acute/emergency situation
• Dypnoea, tachypnea, bradypnoea, apnea
• Pallor, Cyanosis
• Use of accessory muscles (nasal flaring, intercostal/subcostal retraction, tracheal
tug)
• Shock/Hemorrhage/Seizures/Hypothermia/Resuscitation
Short term therapy
• Post anaesthesia
• Post surgery

Oxygen : Sideeffects
• Physical risks- fire, injury to nose, dryness/crusting.
• Functional risks- hypoventilation and CO2 retention (eg COPD)
• Cytotoxic damage (FiO2>60%) - fibrotic changes in lungs on long term use
(free radical injury)
• Pulmonary Atelectasis
• Retinopathy of prematurity

4.
Simple Oxygen mask
•Delivers humidified oxygen (aerosol adapter can be added)
• Minimum flow rate 6 l/min (to clear exhaled CO2 from mask)
• Approx O2 conc- 6L=40%, 7L=50%, 8L=60%.
Dr Yusuf Imran, J.N.M.C, AMU, India
Venturi Mask
• DeliversHumidified oxygen
• FiO2 is set by entrainment dial on mask
• Low conc- 24%, 26%, 28%, 31%
• High conc – 35%, 40%, 50%, 60%
Dr Yusuf Imran, J.N.M.C, AMU, India
Non Rebreathing Mask
•Used for high FiO2 delivery in emergency
• FiO2 range 60 to 100%
• Reservoir bag is used to provide up to 100 % FiO2.
• Flap valves minimize entrainment of room air.
• Flow rate is adjusted according to patients respiratory pattern to keep the
reservoir bag inflated.
Dr Yusuf Imran, J.N.M.C, AMU, India
Oxygen hood
• Delivershumidified oxygen to patients weighing <15 kg.
• FiO2 range upto 90-100%.
• Minimum flow rate 8-10 l/min (to clear exhaled CO2 from the hood)
• Oxygen analyzer can be used to measure FiO2.
Dr Yusuf Imran, J.N.M.C, AMU, India
Nasal Cannula
• Delivershumidified oxygen
• Nasal passages must be patent
• FiO2 depends on the flow rate
• Can be used to provide CPAP in infants
• Infants Adults
¼ L - 35 % 1 L - 24%
½ L - 45 % 3 L - 32%
1 L - 55% 6 L - 44%

FaceTent
• Loose fitunder the chin for patient comfort, speaking etc.
• Maximum FiO2 = 40-50 %
• Oxygen conc is unstable
• Minimum flow rate 8 L/min
Dr Yusuf Imran, J.N.M.C, AMU, India
Tracheostomy Mask
• Deliversheated, humidified Oxygen or air
• FiO2 is set by dial on blender
• Maximum FiO2 = 40-60 %
• Minimum flow rate = 8 L/min
