How do you can give oxygen to a patient?

What percentage of oxygen is delivered by a simple face mask?
8-12 liters per minute. Less than 6 will give less percent oxygen than room air is (21%). More than 12 will not increase the percent oxygen received by the patient any higher than what they are receiving at 12 liters per minute.
