The main advantage of the Venturi mask is?
bernoulli principle
Yes, it can.
COPD patient
Wash hands thoroughly before handling the oxygen mask. Ensure the oxygen supply is turned on and functioning properly. Place the oxygen mask securely over the tracheostomy tube. Adjust the straps to ensure a snug and comfortable fit. Monitor the patient's oxygen levels and adjust the flow rate as needed. Remove the mask carefully, ensuring not to disrupt the tracheostomy tube. Clean and disinfect the mask after each use to prevent infection.
Place a tee and mouth piece together and place into the hole in the mask with the neb in the tee.
Yes, the flow rate of oxygen delivered through a venturi mask can affect the fractional inspired oxygen concentration (FiO2) that the patient receives. Higher flow rates can increase the FiO2 by providing more oxygen to mix with room air as it flows through the mask's entrainment ports.
Multi Flow Venturi Mask is used by the patients suffering from asthma or other breathing problems and is an ideal choice for oxygen therapy. It is provided with 6 different connectors, each with distinct marking for required flow of oxygen and different color coding. Multi Flow Venturi Mask fits snugly over the nose and mouth as well as delivers supplemental oxygen at the precise concentration. A venturi mask should be made up of medical-grade PVC, must be 100% latex free and should have smooth edges for patients' comfort and safety. Medical device manufacturing companies like Life-O-Line Technologist offers six color coded diluters for six concentrations: 24%, 28%, 31%, 35%, 40%, & 50%. A variable venturi connector is there to ensure precise, accurate or predicted concentration of oxygen with single unit. Some venturi masks also come with a unique design of nebulizer chamber with mask that nebulizes the patient even in supine position. These venturi masks are sterile, disposable, and non-pyrogenic.
The air from a ventilator is delivered to the patient either through a face mask or directly into the lungs through a tracheostomy (trach) tube

Still it's 15 - 25 liters per minute.
Why would you need to do that anyway? If you need the concentrated O2 that a mask provides, then a nasal cannula is not affective.
