What is used with the oxygen mask?
Oxygen
What are the three methods used to administer oxygen?
Oxygen can be administered by nasal cannula, mask, and tent.
Why did my friend die after putting on oxygen mask?
Your second question was: "can you overdose on oxygen wearing an oxygen mask?" The answer to that is no. Oxygen masks - as used by divers, fighter pilots and sometimes hospital patients - always offer a mix of oxygen and nitrogen so that oxygen poisoning cannot occur. However, if you were to put on a mask that makes you inhale only pure oxygen, it would after a little while start to poison your central nervous system. As to 'why your friend died': I have no idea.

What does the acronym NRB stand for?
The acronym NRB stands for "Non-rebreather mask". These are used in medical emergencies where the patient requires urgent oxygen therapy, as the mask allows higher concentrations of oxygen to enter the body.
What Type of oxygen mask used with a reservoir bag?
An oxygen mask used with a reservoir bag is called a partial rebreather mask. It is designed to deliver high concentrations of oxygen by allowing the patient to rebreathe some of the exhaled air along with oxygen from the reservoir bag.
Has anyone used oxygen concentrators for migraine headaches?
High flow oxygen using a non-rebreather mask has been found to be extremely helpful in cluster headache, however in Migraine it is only infrequently found to be helpful.
What is used with the oxygen mask?
Oxygen
What is the difference of partial rebreather mask and non rebreather mask?
nonrebreather more precise and delivers higher concentration Partial Rebreather Mask - Conserves oxygen - Can be administered in concentrations of 40-60% using flow rates of 6-10L - This is useful when oxygen concentrations must be raised - Cannot be used with a high degree of humidity - Not recommended for COPD patients - Should NEVER be used with a nebulizer Non-Rebreaqthing Mask - High concentrations of oxygen can be administered accurately - Oxygen flows into bag and mask during inhalation - Valves prevents expired air from flowing back into bag - Cannot be used with a high degree of humidity
What is a reservoir bag used for on a standard non-rebreather oxygen mask?
Possibly one reason could be to help monitor respiration. This could provide a visual clue to inspiration. But, the reservoir bag is to collect oxygen and thus keep a free flowing "reservoir" of oxygen for the patient to draw from as they inhale all the avilable air within the mask itself. There are exhaust valves located on either side of the face mask to exhale the CO2 and keep from drawing in room-air. Or even rebreathing the CO2.
How long should a non-rebreather mask be used on 8-10 leters?
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.
How many CPR barriers are there?
There are numerous barriers; some more effective and safe than others. Short answer is 3 types; a mask, a non-rebreather mask, and a BVM. The older microshield and other types without a 1-way valve should no longer be used. At least, you want a CPR mask that has a 1-way valve. The next better would be the CPR mask with the O2 connection (and1-way valve). As you get more into the clinical setting, a non-rebreather and BVM would be the other types.

What is a bag valve mask?
A bag valve mask is a bag used to resuscitate a patient by supplying air or oxygen directly into the trachea and into the lungs.

What are the different parts of an oxygen tank?
An oxygen "tank" has three main components: * Cylinder-Cylinders come in many different sizes. Some are small and are more typically used in rescue situations, while larger ones are used to either fill smaller cylinders, or are mounted in ambulances. * Regulator- Regulators are used to control the rate at which oxygen leaves the cylinder. It also reflects the amount of pressure that the contents are under. The pressure gauge also provides information on the amount of oxygen remaining in the cylinder. There are also different types of regulators; some are meant for larger cylinders that fill smaller ones, and others are meant for cylinders that are used to deliver oxygen to users. * Oxygen Delivery Device- This component is what provides oxygen to the user. These come in forms of: nasal cannula, simple face mask, partial rebreather mask, and the nonrebreather mask. There are also other types of Oxygen delivery devices. However, these are more common to the prehospital care and in hospital care personnel. Oxygen delivery devices also have tubing on them that is attached to the device at one end, with the tubing at the other end meant to be placed on an opening on the regulator at the other.
