Ineffective Oxygen DeliveryAka: Nasal Catheter, Oxygen Tent
- Nasal Catheter (Avoid)
- Flexible lubricated oxygen catheter
- Holes in distal 2cm
- Advanced through nostril into pharynx behind uvula
- Risk of trauma to adenoids and secondary hemorrhage
- Gastric distention or rupture if cannulate esophagus
- No advantage when compared with Nasal cannula
- Flexible lubricated oxygen catheter
- Oxygen Tent (Avoid)
- Clear Plastic shell encloses upper body
- Cannot reliably provide stable Oxygen Concentrations
- Although theoretically 50% Oxygen at high flows
- Room air drawn into tent whenever entered
- Tent Limits patient access
- Delivers <30% Oxygen at high flows
