Oxygen therapy is the administration of oxygen at

concentrations greater than ambient air (21%)

with the intent of treating or preventing the

symptoms and manifestations of hypoxia.


hypoxia
The evolving and expanding outbreak of SARS-CoV2 infections has created

important challenges to Oxygen therapy

 Approximately 12%-19% of COVID-positive patients require hospital

admission and 3%-6% become critically ill

 Low PaO2(arterial oxygen tension) secondary to
FiO2<0.21 or decreased barometric pressure
(altitude)
 Impaired ventilation secondary to neuromuscular
weakness or narcotic overdose
 Impaired oxygenation secondary to Pulmonary
Fibrosis, ARDS or Covid 19.
 Inadequate pumping of the blood from the lungs to tissues,

maybe secondary to disorders causing decreased cardiac

output such as MI, low fluid volume, hypotension, poor

supply of arteries.

 If the patient has myocardial ischemia supplemental O2 is

definitely indicated.
Decreased oxygen carrying capacity as in anemia or

carbon monoxide poisoning

Methemoglobinemia? Methemoglobin reductase

Sulfhemoglobinemia? Oxidation of iron by drugs


Increased tissue consumption of oxygen

in hypermetabolic states: like fevers


Utilization of oxygen is abnormal such
as in cyanide poisoning

Cyanide I cytochrom oxidase


Tachypnea, dyspnea, hyperpena

Tachycardia, dysrythmias, pulse change,


hypertension

Restlessness, disorientation, lethargy

Anemia, polycythemia

Cyanosis, digital clubbing


PaO2 <60mmHg or SaO2 <90%

Severe trauma

Acute Myocardial Infarction

Short term, post operative

-Administration of O2 to remove gas

-Carbon Monoxide Poisoning

-Gas Embolism & Decompression Sickness -

Acute Infections

- Support of Arterial Oxygenation

A physician's order is required for oxygen therapy, except in emergency use.


With PaO2>60, patients with chronic CO2 elevations may experience
ventilatory depression.

With FIO2>0.50, oxygen toxicity, absorption atelectasis, or


depression of ciliary and/or leukocytic function

Administer with caution to patients receiving bleomycin cancer


therapy

Fire hazard is increased in the presence of oxygen concentration.


Oxygen toxicity is cellular injury of the lung parenchyma and
airway epithelium due to release of cytotoxic, free oxygen radicals.

FIO2 100% 12h, FIO2 80% 24h, FIO2 60% 36h

Administration of FIO2 0.5 for long term usually does NOT result in
toxicity.

Retrlental Fibroplasia in prematurity

Suppress of ventilation

Convulsion (> 2ATA)


Nasal Cannula

Simple Masks

Partial Rebreather Masks

Non Rebreather Masks

Venturi Masks

High-flow nasal oxygen therapy (HFNOT)


Can provide 24-44% oxygen to patients with flowrates
below 6 L. min depending on the ventilatory pattern.

The “reservoir” for a nasal cannula is the patients nose.


Each liter of flow will increase the FiO2 2%-4%.
 Adults  6 LPM
 Infants/toddlers  2 LPM
 Children  3 LPM

Flowrates in excess of 6 L.min do not augment the inspired gas


significantly because the extra gas is directed out to the room and
is not available for inspiration. High flows can also result in drying

of the nasal mucosa.

Humidification of nasal cannulas with a “bubble device” is


recommended for flow rates in excess of 4 L.min.
Can provide 40-60% oxygen to patients at flowrates between 5-10
L.min.

The reservoir in a simple mask is the space between the mask and
the patients face.

Since this space is larger than the space in


the nose, more oxygen is stored and is
available for the next breath.
Less than 5 L.min is not recommended because a minimum of 5
L.min is needed to flush the exhaled CO2 from the mask.

The popularity of simple masks has fallen because of the


availability of Venti-Masks, with control of the FiO2, and are not
subject to the changes in FiO2 that occur with a simple mask.
A partial rebreather face mask is a valve less system that

includes an oxygen reservoir bag.

With oxygen flows 6-10 L.min the inhaled concentration of

oxygen are between 60%-80% or greater.


A non-rebreather face mask includes unidirectional valve plus
an oxygen reservoir bag.

With a perfect fit the FiO2 may approach 1.0 however the FiO2
is usually in the range of 60%-90% depending on the fit of
the mask.

The flowrate must be high enough to keep the bag inflated


during inspiration. The flow is set at 10+ L.min
Can provide 24%-40% oxygen by mixing room air with a
precise amount of oxygen thereby delivering a precise FIO 2.

The size of the port and the oxygen liter flow determine the
FIO2.

The mask should be fitted to the patient as best as possible to


prevent entrainment of room air around the mask which
would alter the FIO2.
High-flow nasal oxygen therapy
(HFNOT) is increasingly used as part
of both ward-based and critical care
management of respiratory failure.

HFNOT provides warmed and


humidified gases at flows of up to 60
litre min−1, with
inspired oxygen concentrations of
up to 100%.
