2. Indications for oxygen therapy • To correct hypoxemia V/Q mismatch ↓ diffusion hypoventilation • To ↑ dissolved oxygen Anemia Cyanide and CO poisoning • ↑ oxygen demand high altitude Shivering Thyroid crisis Hyperthermia • Anaesthesia- Preoxygenation – intestinal distension and ↑ PAH

3. Anoxia No oxygen availability in tissues • Hypoxia Lack of oxygen availability in tissues • Hypoxaemia Lack of oxygen in the blood

4. Tachypnea Paleness Tachycardia Mild hypertension Restlessness Headache Lassitude Tachypnea Cyanosis Bradycardia Arrythmias Hypotension Confusion Impaired judgement Signs of hypoxia Mild to moderate Severe

5. Classification • According to design • Low flow • Reservoir • High flow • Enclosure • According to performance • Fixed • variable

7. According to design • Low flow Gas flow of apparatus is insufficient to meet all inspiratory requirements • High flow Gas flow of the apparatus is sufficient to meet all inspiratory requirements • Reservoir Stores a reserve volume that equals or exceeds the patient tidal volume

8. According to performance • Fixed FiO2 If the system provides all the patient’s inspired gas • Variable FiO2 If the system provides only some of the inspired gas, the patient draws the remaining from surrounding air

9. Variable performance devices No capacity Nasal catheters Nasal cannulae Small capacity Face masks Large capacity device Mask with bag Fixed performance devices HAFOE systems Anaesthesia circuits Ventilators According to performance

10. Lowflow Nasal cannula Nasal catheter Trans tracheal catheter Reservoir Reservoir cannula Simple mask Partial rebreathing mask Nonrebreathing mask Nonrebreathing circuit High flow Air entrainment mask Air entrainment nebulizer Blending system Enclosure Oxyhood Isolette Tent According to design

11. Patient factors Inspiratory flow rate Duration of inspiration Duration of expiratory pause Minute ventilation Device factors Oxygen flow rate Physical volume Resistance Variable performance devices

12. How to select • Purpose • Patient Age Level of Consciousness Pattern of breathing • Performance of the device

13. Advantages No rebreathing Better tolerated Easy to use Disposable Low cost Disadvantages Flow > 3 L / min not tolerated Gastric distension Drying of mucosa O2 wastage Jet lesion if vents are blocked Unstable Nasal cannula FiO2 range : 0.22 -0.45

14. Home care patients needing long term therapy Low – moderate FiO2 during eating Nasal cannula- Uses

15. Advantages Good stability Disposable Low cost Disadvantages Difficult to insert Change every 8 hrs High flow increases back pressure DNS or polyp may block insertion May provoke swallowing or gagging -aspiration Nasal catheterFiO2: 0.22-0.45

16. Nasal catheter- Uses • 250ml- 8L flow • During bronchoscopy • Longterm care of infants

17. Advantages Lower oxygen cost No skin, nasal irritation Improved compliance Improved exercise tolerance Increased mobility Enchanced image Disadvantages High cost Surgical complication Infection Mucous plugging Lost track Trans tracheal catheter FiO2 0.22-0.35

18. 250ml- 4L Ambulatory patients who need increased mobility Patients who do not accept nasal O2 Trans tracheal catheter -Uses

19. FiO2 in low flow system • Anatomical reservoir 50 ml • 6 L/min =100ml /sec • 500 ml tidal volume 50 ml --100 % 100 ml -100 % 350 ml -20 % • Total oxygen-50+100+70=220 ml • Fio2 =220/500=0.44 • For every L= changes by 0.04

20. Nasal cannula, catheter

21. Face mask Mask with reservoir bags

22. 250ml- 4 L /min FiO2- 0.22-0.35 Advantages Lower O2 cost Increased mobility Less discomfort Disadvantages Unattractive Cumbersome Poor compliance Regularly replace every 3 weeks Reservoir cannula

23. Oxymizer reservoir cannula Pendant reservoir cannula

24. Reservoir cannula- Uses • Home care • Ambulatory patients

25. Low capacity devices(physical volume adds a dead space) • Rebreathing possible : - Device volume is high - O2 flow is low - Expiratory pause is short • Better tolerated at high flows • At high flows O2 is lost through the vents

26. 5-12 L/ min FiO2 0.35-0.50 Advantages Easy to apply Disposable Inexpensive Disadvantages Uncomfortable Must be removed for eating Prevent radiant heat loss Block vomitus Simple face mask

27. Simple face mask Tracheostomy mask

28. Conventional face mask with CO2 sampling port Bevel tip sample tube in the mid dome of a medium concentration oxygen mask Monitor respiration Capnoxygen mask

29. Partial rebreathing mask 6-10L /min FiO2 0.35-0.60 Has no valves Inspiration –O2 flows to mask and patient Expiration – source O2 and expired gas enters the bag Non rebreathing mask 6-10L/min FiO2 0.55-0.70 Has 2 one way valves Insp- insp valve opens provides O2 to patient Exp- exp valve opens divert exp gas to atmosphere Large air leaks

30. Large capacity devices • A reservoir bag is attached to the mask • O2 can accumulate throughout the respiratory cycle • Rebreathing is possible • Tight fit • Flows which prevent collapse of bag during inspiration FIO2 = 0.6 – 0.9 possible

31. Non rebreathing mask Most useful in Emergency department 12-15L/min Adult , paeds size Coloured float that rises and falls when pressure and flow changes Housing is designed to rotate 3600 to allow monitoring in all positions Respi-check mask Breakell A et al Emerg Med J. 2001 Sep;18(5):366-9

32. Non rebreathing circuits • Reservoir device • 3 times minute ventilation • FiO2 range0.21-1 • Fixed FiO2 • Blending system to premix air O2 • Warmed, humidified by servo controlled heated humidifier

33. High air flow oxygen enrichment • Air entrainment by an oxygen venturi • Air entrainment nebulizer

34. Shearing effcet • Page 842 • Air entrained by shear forces not by low lateral pressure

35. Streaming fluid regains the pressure, much higher than that at the constriction, if the tube distal to the constriction opens very gradually Venturi This function is lost if the angle of the cone is > 15º

36. The ventimask

37. The ventimask… • Air entrainment devices function as true high flow system only at low FiO2 • If output flow decreases below the patient’s inspiratory flow, air dilution occurs and FiO2 becomes variable

38. The ventimask… • Operating principle- venturi !! ? • Shearing effect • Low to moderate FiO2 0.24-0.40 • Depends on -size of the nozzle -Oxygen velocity -Size of air entrainment port -Downstream flow resistance

45. Air entrainment nebulizer… • Ways to assess whether air entrainment nebulizer meets patient’s needs -Mist output at the expiratory side of the ‘T’ tube through out inspiration -Compare it with patient’s peak inspiratory flow

46. Air entrainment nebulizer…
