As long as the patient needs it to improve oxygenation. The liter flow can be increased to 15L/min with a non-rebreather but if that's not sufficient the patient may need a cpap or bipap machine or even possible intubation.
No, a nonrebreather mask requires a high flow rate of oxygen that most oxygen concentrators cannot provide. Nonrebreather masks are typically used with oxygen cylinders or centralized oxygen systems that can deliver such high flow rates.
A nonrebreather mask (NRB) should have an oxygen flow rate of at least 10 liters per minute in order to deliver the maximum oxygen concentration.
The normal expected arterial oxygen partial pressure (PaO2) for a patient receiving oxygen through a nonrebreather mask typically ranges from 60 to 100 mmHg, depending on the patient's underlying condition and the effectiveness of the mask in delivering high concentrations of oxygen. Nonrebreather masks can deliver oxygen concentrations of approximately 80-100%, which can significantly increase PaO2 levels in patients with hypoxemia. However, individual responses may vary based on factors such as lung function and the severity of the underlying illness. Regular monitoring of oxygen saturation and arterial blood gases is essential to ensure adequate oxygenation.
you can either piggy back or intrain by using the mouth piece adapter and pluging the blue tube side and sliding it through the side.
The oxygen delivery device that provides the highest concentration of oxygen is the non-rebreather mask, which can deliver oxygen concentrations of up to 90-95%. This mask is used in situations where a high concentration of oxygen is needed, such as during severe respiratory distress.
