Best Answer

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.

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
