O2 Delivery Devices
Nasal Prongs
- Can comfortably deliver up to 6L/min (FiO2 24-44%)
Nasal Accumulator (Mustache)
- Delivers up to 15L/min
- O2 accumulates in the oral cavity
- Higher flows ensure that those who are breathing mainly through mouth still get supplemental O2
Airvo
- High flow up to 40-60L/min
- High flow = PEEP support
- FiO2 up to 100% but adjustable
- Warmed
- Humidified
Simple Oxygen Mask
- Flows of 6-12L/min (FiO2 35-50%)
- Minimum of 6L to prevent rebreathing of CO2
- Can attach a nebulizer to it
- Holes at the sides allow for room air admixture and escape of CO2
Venturi Mask
- Flows of 4-12L/min (FiO2 24-60%)
- Can dial in a more precise O2 delivery
Non Rebreather Mask
- Simple mask but with a reservoir bag = 100% FiO2
- Flow 6-15L/min
- Minimum flow 6L to prevent CO2 accumulation
- Called a non rebreathing due to one way valves on sides to prevent rebreathing of CO2
Bipap/Bilevel
- Adjustable O2
- Adjustable Inspiratory and expiratory pressures
- Ideally patient is fully conscious (but often used in ICU for altered hypercarbic patients with COPD as a bridge to steroid response)
- Excellent for pulmonary edema as a bridge to diuresis
- Not good for pneumonia with secretions (dries secretions and does not promote coughing and clearing)
Ambu Bag
- Flows of 15L/min
- Reservoir back = 100% FiO2
- Can attach a PEEP valve to prevent atelectasis
- Can remove mask and attach to ETT or Tracheostomy
Trach Hood
Trach Hood
- O2 delivery device for patient with Tracheostomy
- Must be humidified or it dries the airway
