| A | B |
|---|
| Main value | opens the flow of oxygen into the regulator |
| Flow meter | permit the controlled release of gas measured in liters per minutes |
| 500 psi | indicates you should change the tank. At 200psi the tank is nearly empty |
| AMBU Bag | also known as the BVM used for patients with respiratory arrest, , cardiopulmonary arrest and respiratory failure. It provides artificial ventilation to a patient, it is hand-held |
| AMBU Bag | Best used with two people and provides nearly 100% oxygen at 10-15L/min. Remember a patient having a heart attack or MI, oxygen will not help them |
| Oxygen Tank | painted green |
| Regulator | created by the pressure gauge, flow meter,valve and nipple |
| Pressure gauge | reading indicatess how much oxygen is in the tank. At full capacity, an oxygen tank is pressurized to 2,000psi. |
| Cannula | when the patient is in chronic distress, or respiratory distress delivering a low % of oxygen |
| Non-rebreather mask | patient breathes ONLY oxygen. Valve in mask prevents rebreathing CO2. Adjust with the flow meter valve according to size of patient (8-15L Adult) You may use smaller bag for infant/child. |
| Oxygen tank Precautions | never use oil or grease around the tank, never allow the psi to fall below 200/ Tell someone if the tank is at 500psi, always use medical grade oxygen |
| Opening the the main valve | open fully and turn back 1/2 turn |
| Nitrous oxide/Oxygen | colorless, tasteless, sweet smelling |
| Hypersensitive Gag Reflex | patients who are prone to gagging |
| Floating sensation | relaxed state |
