Abstract:INTRODUCTIONOxygen support therapy should be given to the patients with acute hypoxic respiratory insufficiency in order to provide oxygenation of the tissues until the underlying pathology improves. The inspiratory flow rate requirement of patients with respiratory insufficiency varies between 30 and 120 L/min. Low flow and high flow conventional oxygen support systems produce a maximum flow rate of 15 L/min, and FiO 2 changes depending on the patient's peak inspiratory flow rate, respiratory pattern, the mas… Show more
