High-flow systems that employ heated humidifiers and aerosol generators, especially when used by patients with artificial airways, also pose a risk of infection.

Can oxygen therapy cause skin irritations dehydration and skin breakdowns?

Yes, oxygen therapy can potentially lead to skin irritations, dehydration, and skin breakdowns, particularly if there is prolonged contact with oxygen delivery devices like nasal cannulas or masks. The pressure and friction from these devices can irritate the skin, while the drying effects of oxygen can contribute to dehydration. It's important to regularly assess the skin and use appropriate moisturizers or protective barriers to mitigate these risks. Proper fitting and regular monitoring can help minimize these side effects.

Yes, upper respiratory infections can cause low blood oxygen saturation due to inflammation and congestion in the airways, making it harder for oxygen to reach the lungs. This can lead to symptoms like shortness of breath and difficulty breathing.


Why does a chest infection cause oxygen levels to drop in the blood?

If the chest infection causes fluid in the lungs (pneumonia), or if it causes tissues to press on the lungs, less of the lung volume can be used to achieve oxygen saturation. Additionally, white blood cells may predominate over red in the bloodstream, reducing the oxygen carrying capacity.
