There are two ways to give oxygen to a patient. You can deliver it through a face mask, connected to a tank of oxygen, or you can place the patient in a room which has its own pure oxygen atmosphere, often at high pressure as well.

If a patient is aware that you are counting his breaths they may alter the pattern. It is easy after you finish taking the pulse to count the respirations and the patient is not aware so they don't alter the pattern. This allows you to get a good measurement
