Study Notes
Supplemental O2 Dosages and Delivery Systems
- Nasal cannula delivers oxygen via tubes to the nostrils for patients who can breathe independently but need more oxygen saturation.
- Nasal cannula is used when SpO2 is between 91-94% and oxygen dosage is 1-6 L/min.
Simple Oxygen Mask
- Delivers low-flow oxygen to both mouth and nose.
- Used when SpO2 is between 88-92% and oxygen dosage is 6-10 L/min.
Non-Rebreather Mask
- Allows for inhalation of O2 from a bag reservoir and exhalation of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere.
- Used when SpO2 is between 86-90% and oxygen dosage is 10-15 L/min.
Bag Valve Mask
- Used when SpO2 is lower than 90% and oxygen dosage is 15+ L/min.
