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.
