Definition:
*Oxygen

therapy is the administration of oxygen
at concentrations greater than room air ( 21%)

*With goal of treating or preventing the
symptoms and manifestations of hypoxia(a state
of oxygen deficiency reaching the tissues)

DEVICES
The oxygen delivery devices can be
categorized as
Low flow systems
Reservoir systems
High flow systems
Enclosure systems

Oxygen Therapy
Design & Performance
◦ Low flow Devices
 Flow does not meet inspiratory demand
 O2 is diluted with air on inspiration
 Devices deliver Fio2 ranging from 22-60%
E.g
 Nasal cannula
 Transtracheal catheter

10
Nasal Cannula

11
NASAL CANNULA
low oxygen device
 This

device delivers an unpredictable amount of
oxygen ranging from 25-45 % at 1 - 6 L/min
depending on how much the patient inhales through
the mouth

 Higher

flow rates are uncomfortable for the patient

A

high flow rate can quickly dry out the nasal
mucosa and become rapidly uncomfortable

Lmin=28% 2
Lmin=32% 3 Never
Lmin=36% 4 deliver more
Lmin=40% 5 than 2-3 Lmin
Lmin=44% 6 to client with
chronic lung
disease

 Client able
to talk and
eat with
oxygen in

may cause
irritation to
the nasal and
pharyngeal
mucosa

Easily used if oxygen

16
SIMPLE FACEMASK
low oxygen device


The simple facemask at an oxygen flow of 6 L/min delivers
approximately 35-60 % oxygen



Increasing the flow to 10 L/min may increase oxygen
concentration to about 50 %



If the flow rate is less than 6 L/min (as cylinder nears
empty), the patient may re-breathe much of his own
exhalation and thus, the concentration of oxygen delivered
will be low, possibly severely hypoxic

Partial Rebreathing Mask with reservoir
Moderate oxygen device
Delivers

35-60% Oxygen at 6-10 L/min flow

Ω First third of exhaled gases mix with reservoir
Ω Exhaled gases from upper airway are oxygen
rich

23
High Flow system
It provide oxygen at flow rates high
enough to satisfy patient’s inspiratory
demands.
 Such high flows( i.e. 35-40 lit approx) are
possible by
1. Entrainment of room air
2. High flow rates and reservoirs
E.g
 Venturi masks

Entrainment system

◦ What is Entrainment?

26
VENTURI EFFECT

Oxygen

is forced through a jet
orifice entering the mask. As there
is pressure drop across jet orifice,
room air entrainment occurs
through side ports

Oxygen Hood
High oxygen device
 Clear

plastic shell encompasses the baby's head
 Well tolerated by infants
 Size of hood limits use to younger than age 1 year
 Allows easy access to chest, trunk, and extremities
 Allows control of Oxygen Delivery:
o Oxygen concentration
o Inspired oxygen temperature and humidity
 Delivers 80-90% oxygen at 10-15 liter per minute

38
CPAP
 
Administering oxygen by CPAP(continuous
positive airway pressure):
 
1-Nasal CPAP.
2-Endotracheal CPAP.
 

01/31/14

39
Nasal CPAP:
Nasal CPAP: It consists of a single
nasopharyngeal tube that deliveries 2-8
cm of positive pressure with or without
o2.
  Nursing care :
 - Frequent suction .
- Tube care.
- Change the nasal tube.

40
Endotracheal CPAP
 

Endotracheal CPAP: Positive pressure
delivering via an ETT.
  Nursing care :
 - Use sterile suctioning techniques
- Mouth care
- Change the ETT every seven days .

 Oxygen

is a drug and should be administered keeping
following things in mind: mode of administration, flow
rate, FiO2 (venturi), treatment goal, monitoring, when
to stop.

What is free radical?
A

free radical is an atom or group of
atoms possing one or more unpaired
electrons.
Radical + radical reactions  typically
very fast
Radical + Non-radical reactions  twide
range of reaction rates.

What is an Antioxidant?
A

substance that, when present at a low
concentration compared with that of an
oxidizable substrate, inhibits or prevents
oxidation of the substrate.
