2l/m ideally, up to 4/5 can be given but not for long as it dries and burns nostrils

The typical flow rate for oxygen delivery via nasal cannula is between 1-6 liters per minute. The specific flow rate prescribed will depend on the patient's oxygen needs as determined by their healthcare provider. It's important not to adjust the flow rate without consulting a healthcare professional.

How much FIO2 for 4L O2?

For a flow rate of 4L/min of oxygen, the approximate FiO2 delivered through a nasal cannula is around 36%.


What is the highest liter of o2 that should be administered by nasal canula?

The highest liter flow rate of oxygen that should be administered via nasal cannula is 6 liters per minute. Beyond this flow rate, the cannula may not effectively deliver the intended oxygen concentration to the patient, and a different oxygen delivery system may be more appropriate.


What percentage of oxygen is delivered by a 5 liter nasal cannula and a 50 percent venturi mask when used together?

Why would you need to do that anyway? If you need the concentrated O2 that a mask provides, then a nasal cannula is not affective.


Can a nasal cannula be used on trauma patients?

You could unless maxfax trauma is present. You wouldn't use nasal cannulae in trauma patients as well, you would probably give 15L/min O2 via a non-rebreather mask until stabilised, sats aim for 94-98%. (British Thoracic Society guidelines)


What is the normal oxygen concentration of a man?

A normal O2 Sat on room air is 96-100% . When a patient is on O2 by nasal cannula, the Sat level will of course be higher due to O2 is continuous @ 2 liters/NC. Some patients with high anxiety will demand the need for O2 when Sat level on room air is 97%. It always depends on the individual person, because some people may not be short of breath @95% O2 Sat on room air. Again, those with COPD must be assessed very freq, because they should only recv up to O2 2L/NC on a cont flow. The same patient may recv an MD order for PRN O2 ie: O2 2L/NC if Sat< 96% on RA @ night only. Look up online re: COPD and the reasons for recv only a certain amt of O2 everyday.


What is the maximum O2 for nasal cannula?

The delivery of external oxygen (O2) depends on the condition. To prevent shock, O2 is often set high, such as 8 L /min. (liters per min). But, in someone with emphysema, for example, anything higher than 2 L/min can kill because the brain reacts differently to CO2 in the lungs in emphysema (reverse feedback than normal... normally we breathe in response to higher Co2 levels, triggering us to exhale and inhale).


Proper o2 flow for a non-rebreather mask?

A nonrebreather mask (NRB) should have an oxygen flow rate of at least 10 liters per minute in order to deliver the maximum oxygen concentration.


What are the effects of exercise on peak flow rate?

yes it does in many ways such as Exercise will effect your breathing and your heart rate by making them both faster. It does this because you need more oxygen to your muscles so you are breathing faster to get in more o2 and your heart beats faster to circulate that o2 to the muscles in your body.


Two ways to increase oxygenation to the myocardium?

Increasing oxygenation to the myocardium can be achieved by improving blood flow through vasodilation of coronary arteries using medications like nitroglycerin or increasing oxygen supply through supplemental oxygen therapy. Another method is enhancing cardiac output by optimizing hemodynamic parameters such as heart rate and contractility to improve oxygen delivery to the myocardium.


When blood o2 decreases what happens to respiratory rate?

It will increase.
