Setting up oxygen therapy equipment involves several steps:
Verify the physician's order for the oxygen therapy, including the flow rate and delivery method. Check the oxygen source, whether it's a concentrator, cylinder, or wall outlet, and ensure it's functioning properly. Assemble the necessary equipment, such as the oxygen tubing, humidifier (if required), and delivery device. Connect the tubing to the oxygen source and adjust the flow rate as prescribed. Place the delivery device on the patient and ensure it fits correctly.
