oxygen delivery systems

When Should Each Type Be Used?

The choice of oxygen delivery system depends on the patient's condition and oxygen requirements:
Nasal Cannula: Suitable for patients with mild hypoxemia or those requiring long-term oxygen therapy.
Simple Face Mask: Used for short-term oxygen therapy or when higher oxygen flow rates are needed.
Venturi Mask: Ideal for patients with COPD or other conditions requiring precise oxygen control.
Non-Rebreather Mask: Indicated for patients in acute respiratory distress needing high levels of oxygen.
High-Flow Nasal Cannula: Often used in critical care settings for severe hypoxemia or respiratory failure.
Mechanical Ventilation: Necessary for patients who are unable to maintain adequate oxygenation through non-invasive means.
