Oxygen therapy
Definition:
Oxygen is a colorless, odorless, tasteless gas that is essential for the body to function properly and to survive.
Oxygen therapy is a treatment that delivers oxygen gas to breathe. The oxygen therapy is received from tubes resting in nose, a face mask, or a tube placed n your trachea, or windpipe. This treatment increases the amount of oxygen in lungs to receive and deliver to blood.
What is meaning of O2 therapy
Oxygen therapy is the administration of oxygen at a concentration of pressure greater than that found in the environmental atmosphere
The air that we breathe contain approximately 21% oxygen
the heart relies on oxygen to pump blood.
Purpose
Oxygen therapy is a key treatment in respiratory care.
The purpose is to increase oxygen saturation in tissues where the saturation levels are too low due to illness or injury.
What are the signs that a person needs oxygen
shortness of breath.
headache.
restlessness.
dizziness.
rapid breathing.
chest pain.
confusion.
high blood pressure.

delivers a specific percentage of
oxygen
31.
32. Oxygen Tents
The mask covers the
nose and does not
create a seal around
the nose
33. Oxygen Concentrator
Home O2
Converts nitrogen from air into
oxygen
Suitable for low flow of O2 1-
4L
Unable to be used for O2 flow
over 5L
34. Reservoir mask
Non‐rebreathing masks are
similar to the simple
semi‐rigid plastic masks with
the addition of a reservoir
bag, which allows the oxygen
to be delivered at
concentrations between 60%
and 90% when used at flow
rates of 10–15 L/min
35. High flow Nasal Cannula
Similar to nasal cannula
High‐flow oxygen therapy
allows the accurate delivery
of oxygen therapy of up to
100% FiO2 at a flow rate of
up to 60 L/min

oxygen is a medicine
Place the oxygen cylinder in upright position and
chain it properly or in the oxygen holder.
Ensure adequate amount of water in humidifier, at
least one third.
43. Cont’d…
Avoid changing the flow rate with the nasal prong in
patient’s nose.
Oxygen can catch fire. So, avoid any sparks and fire
and no smoke near the oxygen cylinder.
Oxygen delivery systems should be placed 1.5 meters
from the heat source
44. Cont’d…
Secure the electric equipment at home and in hospital
as a small spark can also cause fire accidents.
