Solutions

Expert Solution

✓ Nasal cannula is used in :

- long term use of oxygen

- low to moderate Oxygen requirement

- no or mild respiratory distress

- chronic air flow limitations because a patient with hypoxaemia or hypercapnia requires low level of Oxygen delivery at 1-2 L /m beacuse a low arterial oxygen level is primary drive of patients for breathing .

✓ Flow rate is 1-6liter per minute FiO2 24%- 45%

- Flow rate liter /min = % FiO2 delivered

1L/m. =25%

2 L/m =29%

3L/m. =33%

4L/m =37%

5L /m. =41%

6L/min. =45%
