Nasal Cannula

StarStarStarStar

A low-flow oxygen delivery system designed to add oxygen to the air a person is breathing. Appropriate for patients who require a low to moderate level of supplemental oxygen.

StarStarStarStar

Non-rebreather Mask

StarStarStarStar

A high-flow oxygen delivery system that includes a bag to store oxygen, ensuring the patient inhales a high concentration of oxygen. Used for patients in critically low oxygen scenarios.

StarStarStarStar

Simple Face Mask

StarStarStarStar

A low-flow device that covers the patient's nose and mouth. Suitable for short-term oxygen therapy for patients who require a higher concentration of oxygen than a nasal cannula can provide.

StarStarStarStar

Oxygen Conserving Devices (OCD)

StarStarStarStar

These devices conserve oxygen by delivering it only during the inhalation phase. Suitable for patients using portable oxygen systems.

StarStarStarStar

High Flow Nasal Cannula

StarStarStarStar

Delivers heated and humidified oxygen at higher rates than a standard nasal cannula. Ideal for patients needing higher rates of oxygen with comfort.

StarStarStarStar

Venturi Mask

StarStarStarStar

A high-flow oxygen delivery device that mixes oxygen with room air, creating a high-velocity, low-volume jet. Suitable for patients who need a precise concentration of oxygen.

StarStarStarStar

Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) Mask

StarStarStarStar

A device that keeps the airways open by providing a continuous stream of air under pressure. Used mostly for sleep apnea but also in some respiratory failure conditions.

StarStarStarStar

Bilevel Positive Airway Pressure (BiPAP) Mask

StarStarStarStar

Delivers two levels of pressure: higher during inhalation and lower during exhalation. Appropriate for patients with respiratory failure and sleep apnea, who cannot tolerate CPAP.

StarStarStarStar

Oxygen Tent

StarStarStarStar

An enclosure around the patient's bed to provide high oxygen concentration. Used mainly in pediatric care for children who are not able to use masks or cannulas comfortably.

StarStarStarStar

Transtracheal Oxygen Therapy

StarStarStarStar

Involves delivering oxygen directly to the lungs through a small catheter inserted into the trachea. Designed for long-term oxygen therapy for chronic hypoxemia.
