    Study Notes

    Emergency Oxygen Administration

    • Location of Oxygen Supply: Found at the back of the MSB clinic, across from the radiology bay, against the wall.

    • Oxygen Cylinder Color: Oxygen tanks are identified by a green color, indicating they contain oxygen.

    • Oxygen Administration Purpose: Administered when a patient’s breathing is inadequate to maintain proper blood oxygen saturation.

    Oxygen Tank Components

    • Portable Size E Oxygen Cylinder: Recommended for dental offices, providing approximately 30 minutes of oxygen supply.

    • Regulator: Combines a reducing valve and flow meter. It safely controls the release of pressurized oxygen.

    • Flow Meter: A dial that regulates the amount of oxygen delivered, measured in liters per minute (L/min). It is determined by the patient's condition, delivery device, and lung capacity.

    Oxygen Delivery Devices in Dental Office

    • Nasal Cannula:

      • Rests on the patient’s upper lip, with prongs in the nasal passages.
      • Loops around the ears for support.
      • Delivers oxygen at 1-6 L/min, requiring activation prior to placement.
    • Non-Rebreathing Face Mask:

      • Covers the patient’s nose and mouth, typically secured with straps.
      • Includes a reservoir bag for additional oxygen supply and features a one-way valve to prevent exhaled gas from mixing with the reservoir oxygen.
      • Delivers oxygen at a rate of 6-12 L/min, depending on the patient’s needs.
    • Bag Mask: (Implied but not detailed in the text)

      • Commonly used but specific delivery mechanism not described.

    Important Considerations

    • Oxygen Flow: Adjusted according to the patient's specific condition and the type of delivery device being used.
    • Safety Features: Delivery devices like the non-rebreathing mask have safeguards to ensure effective oxygen administration and prevent contamination.
