Abstract:
Early recognition of failure of oxygen delivery and knowledge of how medications can alter oxygen delivery allow clinicians to institute appropriate therapies in a timely manner and can result in improved patient outcomes. Oxygen delivery can be estimated and evaluated using a variety of methods, including arterial blood gas sampling, blood lactate quantification, echocardiography, and direct cardiac output measurement. Delivery can be enhanced by manipulating the components of the oxygen delivery formula. Cardiac output, hemoglobin concentration, oxygen saturation, and oxygen tension can all be improved through therapeutic or pharmacologic intervention.

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,...
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.

Respiration and Gaseous Exchange
Respiration involves the exchange of gases, especially oxygen (O2) and carbon dioxide (CO2), between the alveoli and body cells, a process facilitated by blood circulation. As a result, the cardiovascular system, which involves the...
