Low And High Flow Oxygen Delivery Devices

As the high flow oxygen delivery devices have already been discussed let us see what the low flow ones are.

Low and high flow oxygen delivery devices.

Low flow variable performance delivery systems. In most low flow systems the flow is usually titrated on the oxygen flow meter and recorded in litres per minute lpm. The indications advantages and disadvantages of each device and delivery system are presented. Thus when the total ventilation exceeds the capacity of the oxygen reservoir room air is entrained.

Supplemental oxygen low flow systems mask face tent non rebreather mask provides relatively stable fio2 levels as long as respiratory rate and pattern are stable can deliver high fio2 but actual amount will vary from breath to breath examples include nasal cannula simple face. See also below guidelines for additional information. Oxygen use has extended from inpatient to outpatient settings for patients with chronic pulmonary diseases and complications of hypoxaemia. Respiratory care low high flow o2 and devices.

High flow nasal cannula. High flow fixed performance delivery systems. Low flow oxygen delivery devices. A quick overview of low flow o2 devices.

Terms in this set 24 what is the difference between high and low flow o2 therapy. High flow oxygen therapy systems used in the hospital environment usually consist of a blender used with or without oxygen from a wall outlet humidifier heated tubing and nasal cannula. This article presents an overview of oxygen devices oxygen concentrators compressed gas cylinders and liquid oxygen and delivery systems high and low flow. The hfnc is an oxygen delivery system that includes an air oxygen blender humidifier heater and nasal cannula to deliver precise and very high flow oxygen to your patient.

The system provides a high flow of heated humidified air to the patient via the nasal cannula. High flow the fio2 is fixed and meets the demand of the pt. Where the airvo2 is used as an oxygen delivery device the flow from this device is independent to the flow of oxygen. Low flow is varible and does not meet the demand of the pt.

High flow delivery method. 2 low flow systems provide oxygen at flow rates that are lower than patients inspiratory demands.
