SOLUTIONS
●● 21%
Answer: Concentration of oxygen in room air
●● How many liters of oxygen per minute the patient receives
Answer: Oxygen Flow
●● 1-6 L/min
Answer: Flow Rate for Nasal Cannula
●● 6-15 L/min
Answer: Flow Rate for High Flow Nasal Cannula
●● 5-8 L/min
Answer: Flow Rate for Simple Face Mask
●● 6-10 L/min; no valve present; allows patient to rebreathe 1/3 of
exhaled air with room air
, Answer: Partial Rebreather Mask
●● 10-15 L/min; one-way valve; patient cannot rebreathe exhaled air
Answer: Nonrebreather Mask
●● 4-10L/min delivers precise oxygen percentage for patient with
chronic lung disease
Answer: Venturi Mask
●● 30-60 L/min; provides PEEP along with high levels of oxygen
Answer: Optiflow
●● Improves oxygenation by relaxing the respiratory muscles which
allows more oxygen to be delivered into the alveoli
Answer: PEEP
●● 0-10 L/min; noninvasive ventilation; provides forced pressure on
inspiration and expiration to keep airway open; does not require oxygen
Answer: BiPAP
●● 0-10 L/min; positive pressure ventilation to keep airway open during
sleep; does not require oxygen
Answer: CPAP
