Question
Answer
Low flow systems   Do not meet the patients inspiratory flow demands.,Normal inspiratory flow rate is 25 to 30 L/min,Additional flow comes from RA  
🗑
Low flow systems include   Nasal Cannula,Nasal,Catheters,Transtracheal Catheters, Simple masks, Partial Rebreathing Masks, Non-rebreathing Mask  
🗑
High Flow Oxygen Systems Include   Venturi Mask or air-entrainment masks,Aerosol Mask, Face Tent, T-Piece, Trach Mask, Oxygen Tent  
🗑
Nasal Cannula and Nasal Catheters   Delivers 24 to 44% oxygen at 1 to 6 L/min 1 = 24, 2 = 28, 3 = 32, 4 = 36, 5 = 40, 6 = 44  
🗑
Nasal Catheters position   measured from nose to ear, lubricated, inserted to just above the uvula  
🗑
Nasal Catheters cons   deep insertion can cause air swallowing and gastric distension , must be repositioned every 8 hours to prevent breakdown  
🗑
Transtracheal Catheters   Delivers low flow rates (1 to 3 L/min) directly to the trachea through a small incision, Requires less oxygen (lower flows) because the upper airway deadspace is bypassed  
🗑
Transtracheal Catheters risk   Can develop infection and irritation at site and there is a risk of accidental removal, If pt becomes SOB or has increased, Flush with saline, Cleaning Rod, reposition  
🗑
Cannulas   better tolerated, may be humidified but often not if run @ less than 5 L/min, there are two types of O2-conserving cannulas   
🗑
Nasal reservoir   reservoir just below the nose stores ~ 20 mL of O2 ,allows for lower flows because of increase O2 delivery  
🗑
Pendent reservoir   pendent stores O2 ,must exhale through nose  
🗑
Pendent reservoir limits   HFNC - 6-15lpm  
🗑
Simple masks   Delivers 35 to 55 % O2 at flows of 5 to 12 L/min  
🗑
Partial Rebreathing Masks   Delivers 35 to 60 % O2 at flow rates of 8 to 15 L/min  
🗑
Partial Rebreathing Masks Cons   Flow rate must be sufficient to keep bag 1/3 to 1/2 inflated at all times  
🗑
Non-rebreathing Mask   Flow rate must be sufficient to keep bag 1/3 to 1/2 inflated at all times ,Is equipped with a one-way valve that does not allow exhaled gas into the reservoir, One way valves are located on both expiratory ports of the mask to prevent RA entrainment   
🗑
Methods for setting up high flow oxygen   air entrainment mask, mechanical aerosol systems, Gas Injection Nebulizer- need high flow flowmeters, High FiO2 Misty Ox- for FiO2 of .60+ , Blender and titration system  
🗑
High flow O2 systems provide   all of the inspiratory flow required by the patient at consistent FiO2s, These devices are normally attached to nebulizers (Venti-mask may or may not be)  
🗑
Venturi Mask or air-entrainment masks   provide FiO2's from 24 to 50%  
🗑
what happens with Venturi Mask or air-entrainment masks   Increasing flow will not alter FiO2 (precise) The size of the entrainment port determines FiO2 The larger the port, the more RA entrained, the lower the FiO2  
🗑
Aerosol Mask   Delivers 21-100% FiO2 depending on nebulizer setting, Flow rates of 8 to 15 L/min   
🗑
Aerosol Mask limits   On 100% the device will probably not meet flow demands.(>60%) (No air entrained so flow = flowmeter setting)  
🗑
Face Tent   21% to 40% depending on nebulizer setting Flow rates of 8 to 15 L/min  
🗑
Face Tent limits   Used mainly for patients who can not tolerate a mask  
🗑
T-Piece   21-100% depending on nebulizer setting Flow rates of 8 to 15 L/min  
🗑
T-Piece limits   Used on intubated or trached patients  
🗑
Trach Mask   35-60% O2 depending on nebulizer setting Flow rates of 10 to 15 L/min  
🗑
Trach Mask limits   Adequate flow shown by mist flowing out the exhalation port at all times  
🗑
Oxygen Tent   21 -50% at flow rates of 10 to 15 L/min Used mainly on children with croup or pneumonia   
🗑
Oxygen Tent Risks   Problem with leakage ,Fire hazard  
🗑
High FiO2's Important Points   High FiO2's (>.60) may not meet the patient's inspiratory flow demands To insure adequate flow with stable FiO2's, a special made high flow device should be used or two flowmeters set up to provide at least 40 L/min total flow  
🗑
High FiO2's Risk   A restriction, such as a kink, or water in the tubing, causes back-pressure into the nebulizer. This decreases the amount of RA entrained and INCREASES the delivered FiO2. increasing flow on a high flow device will not increase FiO2, only total flow  
🗑
Head box-   small, clear plastic enclosures over infant's head or head and upper torso  
🗑
Head boxes allows   for a higher oxygen concentration and more accessibility to patient without disturbing oxygen delivery. Best not to entrain room air into head box because of noise and microorganism introduction (Blender)  
🗑
air: oxygen entrainment ratios:   .60 1:1, .50 1.7:1, .40 3:1, .35 5:1,.30 8:1  
🗑
