The device used for a patient to inhale a mixture of atmospheric air and oxygen from its source, and o2 contained within a reservoir bag is?
|
|
|
Risk for suffocation |
One of the most serious complications for a patient using a partial rebreather mask is?
|
|
|
NON-Rebreather Mask |
The device that allows for all of the exhaled air to leave the mask rather than partially entering the reservoir bag?
|
|
|
Risk for O2 toxicity |
The main disadvantage of using the non-rebreathermask is?
|
|
|
Venturi Mask |
The device with a large ringed tube extending from it that has adapters within the tube that are color-coded permitting only a specific amount of room air to mix with oxygen?
