Oxygen Therapy

40% FIXED OXYGEN DELIVERY The 40% (red) venturi delivers the xed concentration irrespective of oxygen ow rate and patient breathing pattern providing the recommended level of oxygen concentration helping in fast post operative wound healing therefore reducing the risk of infection. NO REBREATHING or OXYGEN DILUTION The high ow of oxygen enriched air (40%) ushes the expired gases through the vents on the bag eliminating the risk of rebreathing and during inspiration the bag collapses preventing any dilution. VISUAL OBSERVATION OF SPONTANEOUS BREATHING The mist formation on the T-piece and bag...
