Given below is the respiration management table which shows the oxygen percentage exhaled, measured against a number of respiratory measurement tools such as Nasal Cannula, simple mask, venturi mask, partial re-breathing mask, non-rebreathing mask. This oxygen delivery devices and flow rates chart shows the O2% delivered measured for each tool. This table helps doctors choose the right type of mask for the patients depending upon the type of respiratory ailment of the patients.
| Device | Flow/Rate(L/min) | %O2Delivered |
|---|---|---|
| Nasal Cannula | 1 | 24 |
| 2 | 28 | |
| 3 | 32 | |
| 4 | 36 | |
| 5 | 40 | |
| 6 | 44 | |
| Simple Mask | 5-6 | 40 |
| 7-8 | 50 | |
| 10 | 60 | |
| Venturi Mask(with Appropriate Entrainment Port) | 4 | 24 |
| 4 | 28 | |
| 6 | 31 | |
| 8 | 35 | |
| 8 | 40 | |
| 10 | 50 | |
| Partial Rebreathing Mask | 6-10 | Upto 80% |
| Non Rebreathing Mask | 10 | 80-100% |
This oxygen delivery devices and flow rates chart shows how many oxygen percentages delivered according to the different flow rates. The percentage of oxygen inspired depends on the flow rate and the delivery device.
