4 liters of oxygen per minute is within a normal range for oxygen therapy in adults. However, the appropriate oxygen flow rate should be determined by a healthcare provider based on the individual's specific needs and medical condition. It is important to follow the prescribed oxygen therapy plan to prevent any adverse effects.

How do you convert liters per minute in oxygen saturation into percentage?

Take example that we r providing 2L/min of oxygen to a ptHuman lungs are 2 liters in volume by average. So...Average breath rate is 12 breaths per minute.In one minute the patient would take in 24 liters of air. You are supplying 2 liters of pure oxygen + 4.8 liters from air (20% of the 24 liters (Percent oxygen in dry air)) = 6.8 liters of Oxygen per minute.6.8 liters oxygen / 24 liters intake = 28.3% Oxygen


If you are providing 2 liters per minute of oxygen to a patient what percentage of oxygen are they breathing?

Human lungs are 2 liters in volume by average. So... Average breath rate is 12 breaths per minute. In one minute the patient would take in 24 liters of air. You are supplying 2 liters of pure oxygen + 4.8 liters from air (20% of the 24 liters (Percent oxygen in dry air)) = 6.8 liters of Oxygen per minute. 6.8 liters oxygen / 24 liters intake = 28.3% Oxygen or you can look at the table given by the books at http://www.fpnotebook.com/ER/Procedure/LwFlwOxygn.htm Nasal Cannula, Flow 0 liters per minute: 21% (Room Air), Flow 2 liters per minute: 29% But I like the mathematical method. That's just me!

How do I work this out Rhys when walking takes an average of 16 breathes per minute and exchanges 1.5 litres of air at each breath. The inspired air contained 20 oxygen and the expired air contained 1?

To calculate the total oxygen exchanged while walking, first determine the total volume of air exchanged per minute by multiplying the breaths per minute (16) by the volume of air per breath (1.5 liters), resulting in 24 liters of air exchanged. Next, calculate the amount of oxygen in the inspired air: 20% of 24 liters equals 4.8 liters of oxygen inhaled. For the expired air, if it contained 1% oxygen, that would be 0.24 liters of oxygen expelled. Therefore, the net oxygen used during walking is 4.8 liters (inhaled) - 0.24 liters (exhaled) = 4.56 liters of oxygen utilized per minute.
