Abstract:
A laryngeal mask is a very useful instrument to use both in easy as well as difficult handling situations related to the air tract. This mask is placed in the pharynx and it permits a patient to breathe in different modes, either spontaneously or mechanically. Different models are available; some even facilitate the tracheal intubation through the mask. The authors highlight that this type of mask does not protect nor isolate the air tract. As advantages, the authors point out its easy installation; thus, it is an alternative when an air tract presents difficulties; therefore, it is necessary that all personnel who have to deal with the air tract be aware of this mask and know how to handle it.

Oxygen Delivering System I: Nasal Cannula and Face Mask
Nasal Cannula
A nasal cannula is a lightweight tube split at one end into two prongs and placed in the nostrils. It is typically used to deliver low to medium levels of oxygen.
Suggested flow rate: The suggested flow rate for a nasal cannula typically ranges between 1 and 6 L/min.

Administering Oxygen by Mask
Administering oxygen by mask is a common nursing intervention that provides supplemental oxygen to patients with respiratory distress or chronic lung conditions. This procedure involves delivering oxygen at a specified rate through a face mask connected to an oxygen source.
Equipment
The equipment necessary for this procedure includes:
Oxygen Delivering System II: Venturi Mask and Transtracheal Oxygen
Venturi Mask
The Venturi mask, named after the Venturi effect, is designed to deliver precise oxygen concentrations. It consists of a large tube with an oxygen inlet that narrows down, causing a pressure drop that pulls air in through adjustable side ports. The mask is a lightweight,...
