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 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.
What are the components of an oxygen delivery system?
An external oxygen delivery system would consist of an oxygen source (such as a pressurized gas chamber), a pressure relieving system and a delivery system such as a breathing tube.
