Abstract:
For portable oxygen concentrator by pressure swing adsorption (PSA) method, its volume, mass, power, oxygen flux and oxygen saving efficiency are the most important parameters which are affected strongly by the PSA cycle. In this paper, we propose a new pressure equalization step to optimize the PSA cycle. According to the experimental results, when the product ends of two beds are connected and the feed gas is switched from the high pressure bed to the low pressure bed during the pressure equalization step, the system has a larger oxygen flux, a less energy consumption and a more simple structure.

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,...

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 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.
