What is an Oxygen Mask used for?

Oxygen Mask is designed to deliver oxygen therapy to the patient through the mouth or nose. The healthcare provider might prescribe oxygen therapy if the lungs cannot provide the required oxygen to the patient. In such a case, oxygen is delivered through oxygen tanks or oxygen cylinders into the tubing that passes oxygen to the mask. The patient wears the oxygen supply mask and gets proper oxygen gas. The oxygen breathing mask delivers oxygen to a patient who is experiencing respiratory distress or low oxygen levels. They are lightweight and secured to the face using the attached headband or earloops.

Health Products for You carries various types of oxygen masks, including simple face masks, partial rebreather masks, and non-rebreather masks. Each type of mask is designed to deliver oxygen at different flow rates and concentrations, depending on the patient's needs.

Types of Oxygen Masks

• Simple Oxygen Face Mask

  A Simple oxygen mask is a medical device that is used to deliver oxygen to a patient who is experiencing respiratory distress or low oxygen levels. It is a clear, plastic mask that covers the nose and mouth, and it is attached to an oxygen supply source, such as a compressed gas cylinder or an oxygen concentrator. Oxygen concentration in a standard room is about 21%. A simple oxygen face mask is designed to deliver usually between 35% and 60% oxygen. These masks are usually made of plastic. An oxygen-breathing mask often has the capacity to hold 100-200 ml of gas in itself and requires an oxygen flow of 5-6 l/min to avoid carbon dioxide accumulation inside the mask. These masks fix the patient’s mouth with an elasticated headband. Simple masks like Allied Simple Medium Concentration Oxygen Mask contain holes for carbon dioxide to escape and fresh air to mix with the oxygen.

  

• Reservoir Mask

  A reservoir oxygen face mask, also known as a non-rebreather mask, is a medical device used to deliver high concentrations of oxygen to patients who require more oxygen than what a simple O2 mask can provide. It is similar in appearance to a simple oxygen mask but has some additional features. The reservoir mask has a one-way valve between the mask and the oxygen reservoir bag, which allows the patient to inhale pure oxygen from the bag and prevents the exhaled air from mixing with the oxygen in the bag.

  Both non-breather masks and partial re-breather masks come under this category. Reservoir masks are used to deliver a higher concentration of oxygen. The partial re-breather mask, like the Hudson RCI Adult High Concentration Oxygen Supply Mask, provides 70 – 90 percent oxygen concentration, while a non-re-breather mask delivers 90 percent of oxygen concentration or more. Reservoir masks do not contain any openings to restrict the inflow of outside air.

When should an Oxygen Mask be used?

An O2 Mask is to be used when the patient is going through respiratory arrest and needs enough supply of oxygen. They provide a constant level of oxygen and can help control carbon dioxide retention. Simple face masks are highly effective and can supply high oxygen. They are ideal to be used for hours or several days. Some common indications for using an oxygen mask include:

• Hypoxemia: When the level of oxygen in the blood is low, an oxygen mask can help deliver a higher concentration of oxygen to the patient.
• Respiratory distress: If a patient is having difficulty breathing, an oxygen breathing mask can help provide the necessary oxygen to support breathing and improve oxygenation.
• Trauma: Patients with severe injuries or trauma, such as chest injuries, may require oxygen therapy to support breathing and improve oxygenation.
• Chronic respiratory conditions: Patients with chronic respiratory conditions, such as chronic lung disease (COPD) or cystic fibrosis, may require oxygen therapy and might need oxygen masks for home use or in medical settings.
• Anesthesia: Patients undergoing surgery or other procedures that require sedation or general anesthesia may require oxygen therapy to maintain oxygen saturation levels.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. Why are there holes in the oxygen-breathing mask?

   Openings in the O2 mask allow the patient to inhale room air if the oxygen source fails. This is the reason that the face mask with oxygen has holes in it.

2. How much oxygen do you need for a mask with oxygen?

   A simple face mask can deliver 35% to 50% oxygen with an appropriate flow rate of 6 to 10 L/minute.

3. How long can you use an oxygen breathing mask?

   Replace them every 2 to 4 weeks. If you have a cold, change the nasal prongs when your cold symptoms are done.

FAQ: What is a Non-Rebreather Mask? 

• Q: How does a non-rebreather mask work?

  A: A non-rebreather mask is a medical device used to deliver a high concentration of oxygen to patients in emergency situations or those with respiratory distress. It consists of a face mask connected to an oxygen supply and includes a reservoir bag that fills with pure oxygen. The mask has one-way valves that prevent exhaled air from mixing with the oxygen, ensuring that the patient receives the highest possible concentration. 

• Q: What is a non-rebreather mask?

  A: The non-rebreather mask is designed to deliver a high flow of oxygen. When the patient inhales, the oxygen from the reservoir bag is supplied directly to the lungs. The one-way valves in the mask prevent the patient’s exhaled air from entering the reservoir bag, which ensures that the oxygen remains pure and at a high concentration. This setup helps maximize oxygen intake and improves oxygenation in the blood.

• Q: Can a non-rebreather mask be used at home?

  A: Non-rebreather masks are used in medical settings supervised by healthcare professionals. If you require oxygen therapy at home, your doctor may prescribe a different type of oxygen delivery system that is more suitable for home use, such as nasal cannulas or oxygen concentrators.
