There are several types of oxygen delivery systems used in clinical settings:
Nasal Cannula: A simple and commonly used device that delivers low to moderate levels of oxygen. Simple Face Mask: Provides higher concentrations of oxygen than a nasal cannula, typically used for patients requiring moderate oxygen therapy. Venturi Mask: Delivers precise oxygen concentrations and is often used for patients with chronic respiratory disorders like COPD. Non-Rebreather Mask: Offers high concentration oxygen delivery, usually for patients in critical conditions. High-Flow Nasal Cannula: Provides heated and humidified oxygen at high flow rates, often used for patients in severe respiratory distress. Mechanical Ventilation: For patients who cannot breathe independently, providing controlled oxygen delivery via an endotracheal or tracheostomy tube.
