1)Nasal cannula is generally used wherever small amounts of supplemental Oxygen are required, 2 liter/ min ----- 28% of oxygen concentration
2) Simple Face Mask (Flow Rate: 5-8 L/min)------C.40%-60%
A simple face mask is usually used to deliver a low to moderate amount of oxygen. It can deliver around 40%-60% oxygen at 6 to 10 L/min. It’s used for people who can breathe on their own but may have low blood oxygen levels.
A simple face mask doesn’t deliver as high of an oxygen concentration as a non-rebreather mask but is safer in the case of a blockage
3) Partial Nonrebreather (Flow Rate: 6-10 L/min)------B.60%-95%
A partial non-rebreather face mask fits over your mouth and nose and attaches with an elastic band around your head. The mask is connected to a plastic reservoir bag filled with a high concentration of oxygen.
