partial rebreather mask with attached with 1L reservoir bag that saves 1/3 of exhaled air, while rest gets out via ports covered with one-way valve. This allows patient to rebreathe some of the carbon dioxide, which acts as stimulator of breathing.

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.
What is best way to administer oxygen to a child in moderate respiratory distress?
Non rebreather mask
What is the minimum oxygen flow when using a non rebreather face mask?
10 - 15 liters per minute
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
When using the non-rebreather mask on a victim who requires it at what levels are recommended for the flow rate?
10-15 liters/min
Does a partial rebreather mask breath in CO2?
yes but only the ambient CO2 it is a NITROX mask for elevated O2 between 40 and 60 % the rest is AIR which contains Co2 at atmospheric pressure.. 1 BARAdditionAssuming you are talking about some kind of full face diving mask with a regulator attached, you will be rebreathing some gas you have exhaled. So yes, you will be rebreathing CO2 - which will be at a greater concentration as well as a greater partial pressure than the CO2 at atmospheric pressure. But it will be minor amounts. However if you are talking about a hospital type of application then it is a different answer.
Proper o2 flow for a non-rebreather mask?
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.
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.
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.
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 do you perform CPR on quad patient?
Do not change any of the CPR steps for a quad patient. Having supplemental oxygen, using a BVM, or non-rebreather mask would be helpful.
When was the rebreather invented?
1808
