I don't understand the Related Link well enough to know if it answers your question, but you can check it out and see if it does.
The percentage of oxygen delivered by nasal tube is 24% at the rate of 1 L/min, 28% @2l/min, and so on with a 4% increase per litre of flow per minute to a maximum of 60%.
Supplemental Oxygen comes out of the tank as %100 oxygen. When the flow rate is kept constant the oxygen being delivered out of the nasal cannual or prongs (N.P. as a shortened acronym) is coming out at %100 concentration. The patient is constantly mixing room air with pure oxygen and depending on the the respiratory rate, varying concentrations of oxygen will be received. (Higher respirations = more room air compared to pure oxygen, therefore lowering the amount of supplemental oxygen entering the lungs with each breath). Continued high respiratory rate would indicate a need for increased supplemental oxygen. If it is required a patient will need specifically controlled oxygen concentration (typically way higher than given through a nasal cannula or simple mask) a Venturi mask or wall mounted control dial with humidification will be used. This is only used in hospitals to maintain life, as alteration by an untrained individual could result in serious complications including lung collapse.
There isn't a direct equivalent between oxygen flow rates delivered via nasal cannula and oxygen masks because the efficacy depends on individual factors like respiratory rate and tidal volume. However, as a general guideline, 2 liters per minute via nasal cannula is roughly equivalent to 1-2 liters per minute via an oxygen mask. It's recommended to consult healthcare professionals to determine the appropriate oxygen delivery method for your specific needs.
Oxygen masks typically deliver a flow rate measured in liters per minute, with higher flow rates commonly used for patients needing higher concentrations of oxygen. At 15 liters per minute, the percentage of oxygen delivered by the mask will depend on the specific design and the individual's breathing pattern, but it can generally provide an oxygen concentration of around 60-90%.
Human lungs are 2 liters in volume by average. So... Average breath rate is 12 breaths per minute. In one minute the patient would take in 24 liters of air. You are supplying 2 liters of pure oxygen + 4.8 liters from air (20% of the 24 liters (Percent oxygen in dry air)) = 6.8 liters of Oxygen per minute. 6.8 liters oxygen / 24 liters intake = 28.3% Oxygen or you can look at the table given by the books at http://www.fpnotebook.com/ER/Procedure/LwFlwOxygn.htm Nasal Cannula, Flow 0 liters per minute: 21% (Room Air), Flow 2 liters per minute: 29% But I like the mathematical method. That's just me!
Convert 40% oxygen to liters
Convert oxygen litter/minute to percnt
8-12 liters per minute. Less than 6 will give less percent oxygen than room air is (21%). More than 12 will not increase the percent oxygen received by the patient any higher than what they are receiving at 12 liters per minute.
The highest liter flow rate of oxygen that should be administered via nasal cannula is 6 liters per minute. Beyond this flow rate, the cannula may not effectively deliver the intended oxygen concentration to the patient, and a different oxygen delivery system may be more appropriate.
It is recorded as neither. It is always recorded as litres per hamburger.
Take example that we r providing 2L/min of oxygen to a ptHuman lungs are 2 liters in volume by average. So...Average breath rate is 12 breaths per minute.In one minute the patient would take in 24 liters of air. You are supplying 2 liters of pure oxygen + 4.8 liters from air (20% of the 24 liters (Percent oxygen in dry air)) = 6.8 liters of Oxygen per minute.6.8 liters oxygen / 24 liters intake = 28.3% Oxygen
Cubic feet per minute x 28.3168 = liters per minute
96 gallons per minute = about 363.4 liters per minute.
Multiply liters per minute by 0.0353146667 to get cubic feet per minute.
