cannula and simple face mask
OUTLINE
Oxygen therapy: indications
The most readily accepted indication for supplemental oxygenation is hypoxemia
Chronic
•Chronic obstructive pulmonary
disease (COPD)
•Cystic fibrosis
•Pulmonary fibrosis
Acute
Medical emergencies requiring high
concentrations of oxygen in all cases:
•Shock
•Sepsis
•Trauma
•Anaphylaxis
•Carbon monoxide and cyanide poisonings
Hypoxemia: Signs and symptoms
•Shortness of breath.
•Rapid breathing.
•Wheezing.
•Cough.
•Confusion.
•Fast heart rate.
•Changes in skin color.
Oxygen therapy: contraindications
No absolute contraindications
