What percentage of oxygen is delivered by a simple mask?
28%
What is the minimum oxygen flow when using a non rebreather face mask?
10 - 15 liters per minute
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.

Why is important use the correct mask and flow rate when administering oxygen?
Using a non-rebreathing oxygen mask at under 10 lpm of oxygen flow can cause carbon dioxide to build up and be re-inhaled by the patient.
What is the percentage of oxygen provided by connecting a high flow of oxygen to the oxygen inlet found on a pocket mask?
50%
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 feature is only available with flow-inflating bag?
Can be used to administer continuous positive airway pressure or free-flow oxygen through the mask
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 the minimum oxygen flow when using a non rebreather face mask?
10 - 15 liters per minute
Whendo you use the different oxygen delivery devices as a nurse?
It depends on how much FiO2 you want to deliver and what the patient will tolerate. For most patients a nasal cannula will be sufficient at 1-6 L/M. The FiO2 will go up 4% with each liter of flow, so 1 L/M = 24%, 2 L/M = 28% up to 6 L/M = 44%. If you need more than that then you can try a venturi mask, which will give a precise FiO2 of 28-55%, or a non-rebreather which gives up to 95%. If you do use a simple mask, which I don't recommend because people don't seem to understand them, make sure the flow is at least 5-10 L/M. A simple mask will deliver about 35-50% FiO2. However, running a simple mask at less than 5 L/M will not provide enough flow of oxygen to clear the mask of CO2 so your patient will be rebreathing their CO2.

What are OSHA requirements of administrating emergency oxygen?
The administration of emergency oxygen is a medical procedure and thus not subject to OSHA. Emergency oxygen should be administered only by or under the direct supervision of a medical professional such as a physician, physician's assistant, or an adequately trained nurse. OSHA Guidelines do permit emergency Oxygen to be given from a tank marked so in Red letters and a flow device of not less than 6 lpm flow into a simple mask. Also, training certification must be acquired via a class such as an American Safety and Health Institute Emergency Oxygen Administration Course.
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.
