Oxygen Mask is designed to deliver oxygen therapy through the mouth or nose to the patient. 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.
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.
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 for delivering 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.
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:
