ClearO2 15L Oxygen Can with Mask and Tube | Pure Breathing Oxygen in a Lightweight Aluminium Canister | Made in Britain (Full Kit, 15 l (Pack of 1))

Product Information

Used if the patient is critically unwell or has high oxygen requirements (e.g. saturations <85% in a healthy person) Mechanical Ventilation is the best way of controlling a patient’s oxygenation (oxygen delivery) and ventilation (gas exchange). All nurses, nursing assistants and other healthcare professionals involved in prescribing or administrating oxygen will be taught on the oxygen guideline. A record of all those who have been taught will be kept. The same applies if oxygen levels are suboptimal but a rising carbon dioxide prevents increasing the percentage of inspired oxygen

To identify if oxygen therapy is maintaining the target saturation or if an increase or decrease in oxygen therapy is required Humidified oxygen is most effective when the gas reaching the alveoli is at body temperature (37ºC) with a relative humidity of 100%. Calculate the P/F ratio instead of the old-fashioned way of calculating an adequate PaO 2 for a patient on supplemental oxygen (subtracting 10 from the FiO 2).not passed urine in the past 12 to 18 hours (for catheterised patients, passed 0.5 ml/kg/hour to 1 ml/kg/hour) Consequences of low oxygen saturation(5) o Pulmonary hypertension. Saturations >94% appear to reduce pulmonary hypertension, whereas saturations <88-90% appear to cause pulmonary hypertension. This does not apply to all children with congenital cardiac defects or idiopathic pulmonary hypertension. An NPSA rapid response report ‘Oxygen safety in hospitals’ in 2009 reported 281 serious incidents from Dec 2004 to June 2009 relating to oxygen therapy and that poor oxygen management caused 9 deaths and contributed to a further 35. This report placed an obligation on hospitals to introduce measures to reduce avoidable harm associated with administration of oxygen.

Oxygen saturations should be recorded on the CEWS chart.

Oxygen Amount According to Liter Flow How to Calculate Oxygen Amount According to Liter Flow

Oxygen saturations must always be interpreted alongside the patient’s clinical status incorporating the early warning score (CEWS). The patient's oxygen saturation and oxygen flow rate should be recorded on the bedside observation chart alongside other physiological variables. Please note: The oxygen concentrator's pulse-flow setting isn't the same as continuous-flow liters per minute, and pulse dose concentrators do not measure exact liters per minute. When we refer to "flow rate," we're discussing liters per minute, not the pulse-flow setting on an oxygen concentrator.

SECTION 7: CLINICAL AND LABORATORY ASSESSMENT OF HYPOXAEMIA AND HYPERCAPNIA

HFNO is available in critical care areas and certain acute medical units and respiratory wards. Consider the use of HFNO in patients who are requiring high concentrations of oxygen (e.g. FiO 2>40%) after discussion with senior medical staff. The oxygen flow rate will be indicated on the specific venturi valve used, but generally is from 3-10L/min.
