Oxygen Delivery Devices

Non-specific FiO2:
1. Low Flow or Variable Flow
2. Reservoirs



Specific FiO2:
1. High Flow

Oxygen Delivery Devices: Non-Specific FiO2


Low-Flow or Variable Performance

Flows < 8 LPM



But: PIF requirements are 30-40 LPM



Therefore: Inspired oxygen will be diluted with entrained ambient air



So: FiO2 cannot be predicted breath-to-breath

Oxygen Delivery Devices: Non-Specific FiO2


Low-Flow or Variable Performance


Nasal Cannula

Two plastic prongs sit at base of nares and connect to 5-6’ of small bore tubing



• Flows 1-6 LPM and FiO’s 0.24 - 0.44



• > 4 LPM require humidifier

Oxygen Delivery Devices: Non-Specific FiO2


Low-Flow or Variable Performance


Nasal Cannula

Clinical Uses:
• Continuous delivery, short- or long-term
• Low percent requirements
• Adults, children, infants

Oxygen Delivery Devices: Non-Specific FiO2


Low-Flow or Variable Performance


Nasal Cannula

Advantages:
• Easy to apply, well tolerated



Disadvantages:
• Lower O2 requirements
• Higher flows cause nasal dryness and bleeding

Oxygen Delivery Devices: Non-Specific FiO2


Reservoir Systems

Employ a mechanism to gather and store O2
between breaths



Higher FiO’s available



But: FiO2 still unpredictable breath-to-breath

Oxygen Delivery Devices: Non-Specific FiO2


Reservoir Systems

1. Reservoir Cannula or Pendant



2. Reservoir Masks
- Simple
- Non-Rebreathing
- Hi-Ox80®

Oxygen Delivery Devices: Non-Specific FiO2


Reservoir Systems


Reservoir Cannula

Designed to conserve O2 (up to 75%)



Mustache or pendant style



Reservoir stores approx. 20 ml O2 during expiration

Oxygen Delivery Devices: Non-Specific FiO2


Reservoir Systems


Reservoir Cannula

• Flows 1-4 LPM and FIO2’s 0.22 - 0.35



Disadvantages:


• Bulky


• Cumbersome


• Low patient compliance



Rarely used

Oxygen Delivery Devices: Non-Specific FiO2


Reservoir Systems


Reservoir Cannula: Simple

Plastic, cone-shaped, fits over nose and mouth


- Small bore inlet port with small bilateral


exhalation ports



• Mask stores 100-200 ml gas for use in next inspiration -> increases FiO2



• Flows 5-10 LPM and FIO2’s 0.35 - 0.50

Oxygen Delivery Devices: Non-Specific FiO2


Reservoir Systems


Reservoir Cannula: Simple

Clinical Uses:
• Emergency, post-op recovery
• Short-term
• Moderate oxygen requirements

Oxygen Delivery Devices: Non-Specific FiO2


Reservoir Systems


Reservoir Cannula: Simple

Advantages:
• Quick, easily applied
• Adults, children, infants
• Inexpensive



Disadvantages:
• Uncomfortable
• Must remove for eating

Oxygen Delivery Devices: Non-Specific FiO2


Reservoir Systems


Reservoir Cannula: Non-Rebreathing

300-500 ml reservoir bag at inlet to mask, stores extra O2 for next breath



Directional valves placed between bag & mask and on exhale ports
- prevent rebreathing into reservoir or


dilution from ambient air


Oxygen Delivery Devices: Non-Specific FiO2


Reservoir Systems


Reservoir Cannula: Non-Rebreathing

• Flows 6-10 LPM and FiO2’s 0.60 - 0.80



Safety Concerns:
• No access to ambient air if directional valves stick closed or insufficient O2 flow



THEREFORE
• One exhalation port valve removed

Oxygen Delivery Devices: Non-Specific FiO2


Reservoir Systems


Reservoir Cannula: Non-Rebreathing

Clinical Uses:
• Severe emergencies
• Short-term
• High FiO2’s available

Oxygen Delivery Devices: Non-Specific FiO2


Reservoir Systems


Reservoir Cannula: Non-Rebreathing

Advantages:
• Quick, easy to apply
• High oxygen levels



Disadvantages:
• Must meet patient’s PIF or FiO2 - unpredictable and variable

Oxygen Delivery Devices: Non-Specific FiO2


Reservoir Systems


Reservoir Cannula: Hi-Ox 80

FiO2: >80%


- Attached reservoir bag



Flow: 8 LPM,


- Meet PIF via reservoir bag



Oxygen Delivery Devices: Non-Specific FiO2


Reservoir Systems


Reservoir Cannula: Hi-Ox 80

• Non-rebreathing style



• Able to filter expired gases

Oxygen Delivery Devices: Specific FiO2


High Flow Systems

• Specific oxygen concentrations or FiO2’s



• Employ ‘air-entrainment principles’



• Most common systems for acute care therapy



• MUST meet patient’s Peak Inspiratory Flow (PIF) to ensure FiO2

Oxygen Delivery Devices: Specific FiO2


High Flow Systems


Air Entrainment

Oxygen directed through small nozzle or jet
surrounded by entrainment ports -> ambient air
entrained by ‘shear’ forces



To generate a specific oxygen percent


• MUST be able to provide > 40-60 LPM to meet patient’s PIF

Oxygen Delivery Devices: Specific FiO2


High Flow Systems


Air Entrainment

Air-entrainment varies directly with
1. the size of the jet
2. the velocity of oxygen at the jet
3. the size of the entrainment port

Oxygen Delivery Devices: Specific FiO2


High Flow Systems


Air Entrainment

The smaller the jet -> the greater the oxygen velocity -> the greater the ambient air-entrainment -> the lower the FiO2



The greater the ambient air-entrainment -> the higher the total gas output

Oxygen Delivery Devices: Specific FiO2


High Flow Systems


Mixing Air and Oxygen

Calculate with Magic Box


- always start with Air at 20 and O2 at 100


- calculate so O2=1 in final ratio


- determines how much air to entrain

Oxygen Delivery Devices: Specific FiO2


High Flow Systems


Mixing Air and Oxygen

Total Output Flow


1. Calculate Air: O2 ratio for desired FiO
2. Add ratio parts together
3. Multiply sum of ratio by the source O2 input flow (adjustable based on patient needs)
