AIM To ensure that patients
in need of oxygen therapy are provided the correct measures for treatment and comfort
OBJECTIVES To give clear guidance on the clinical indications for the use of oxygen therapy in pallative care setting To list the equipments needed for each method of administration.
HUMAN RESPIRATION
Is an odorless, tasteless, colorless, transparent gas that is slightly heavier than air. Oxygen is essential for cell metabolism, and in return, tissue oxygenation is essential for all normal physiological functions.
OXYGEN THERAPYis the administration of oxygen as a medical
intervention, which can be for a variety of purposes in both chronic and acute patient care.
it is used to treat or prevent symptoms of hypoxia and or hypoxemia.
BENIFITS OF OXYGEN THERAPY
Widely used in emergency medicine, both in hospital and by emergency medical services or advanced first aiders.
Indications: For cardio pulmonary emergencies with shortness of breath and chest pain, cardiac or respiratory arrest. For severe trauma
OXYGEN
OXYGEN THERAPY CONTRA INDICATION
Oxygen treatment is contraindicated in all patients with unfavourable ventilation response to oxygen treatment. In case of non-effective O2 treatment, mechanical ventilation must be turned to as well as in all cases with patients in respiratory coma.
OXYGEN THERAPY (A patient has a higher risk of complications but might still be able to receive treatment.
Asthma – It could result in a pneumothorax.High Fever –It could lower the threshold for
seizures; temperature should be lowered before attempting therapy
Optic Neuritis – Rare cases of worsening vision and blindness have occurred
Pregnancy –It is unknown if any stress is caused to the fetus.
Emphysema:
It is a type of COPD involving damage of the air sacs (alveoli) with carbon dioxide retention.
With high levels of CO2 in their bodies so become immune to it and respiration is triggered by low levels of oxygen
Therefore if you give a high concentration of oxygen, you are removing their trigger to breath.
Leading to respiratory depression or even arrest (stop breathing completely) known as hypoxic drive.
Effect of oxygen on COPD is to cause increased carbon dioxide retention, which may cause drowsiness, headaches, and in severe cases lack of respiration, which may lead to death
COPD versus healthy lungManagement of COPD
to assess and monitor the disease, reduce the risk factors, manage stable COPD, prevent and treat acute exacerbations and manage comorbidity.
The only measures that have been shown to reduce mortality is smoking cessation and supplemental oxygen.
Hyperventilation/Overbreathing Increase of air in the lungs above the normal amount
Abnormally prolonged and deep breathing, usually associated with acute anxiety or emotional tension
This results in reducing the carbon dioxide (CO2) level of the body that provides the necessary stimulus for breathing. It can cause dizziness and may even lead to unconsciousness.
Immediate TreatmentBreathing into a paper bag is not
recommended (CO2 levels in the blood will rise too much)Relaxation techniques (Standard treatment) Breathing slowly and purposefully = by
breathing through only one nostril (by holding the other nostril closed with
the fingers) then focus on breathing as well as reduce the amount of air entering the lungs.
Oxygen Therapy Safety Precautions:
Place cautionary signs reading “No Smoking: Oxygen in use” on the clients door.
Make sure that electric devices (such as razors, hearing aids, radios, televisions, and hearing pads) are in good working order to prevent the occurrence of short-circuit sparks.
Oxygen Therapy Safety Precautions: Con’t.
Avoid the use of flammable materials such as oils, greases, alcohol, ether, and acetone(e.g. nail polish remover), near clients receiving oxygen.
Make known the location of the fire extinguishers, and make sure personnel are trained in their use.
I. Nasal Cannula:
METHODS OF OXYGEN ADMINISTRATION
FOR ADULTS
Is a tube that has two prongs to go in the nose passages (nostrils)
Nasal prongs delivers low flow of oxygen concentration of 25% to 33% at 1-3 L/min.
Oxygen source Plastic nasal cannula with
connecting tubing (disposable)Humidifier filled with sterile
waterFlowmeterNo smoking sign
EQUIPMENTS:
1. Show the nasal prong to the patient and explain the procedure.
2. Make sure the humidifier is filled to the appropriate mark.
3. Attach the connecting tube from the nasal prong to the humidifier outlet.
4. Set the flow rate at the prescribed liters per minute.
5. Place the tip of nasal prong in the patient’s nose and adjust the strap.
PROCEDURE:
Nasal cannula- is low flow system, oxygen concentration will vary, depending on the patient’s respiratory rate and tidal volume. Approximate concentrations delivered are:
1L= 24%-25% 3L= 30%-33%
2L= 27%-29%
Room Air = 21% + 4 % in each L/min of O2 concentration
Example: 21% + 4% (1L) = 25%
21% + 8% (2L) = 29%
21% + 12% (3L)= 33%
mask that delivers moderate oxygen flow to nose and mouth.
Delivers oxygen concentrations of 40%-60% at 4L-6L/min.
FACE MASK
EQUIPMENTS:
Oxygen sourceHumidifier bottle with
distilled waterSimple face mask with
tubing(disposable)Flowmeter
PROCEDURE:
1. Show the mask to the patient and explain the procedure.
2. Make sure that the humidifier is filled to the appropriate mark
3 Attach the tubing from the mask to the humidifier outlet
4 Set the desired oxygen concentration as prescribed.
5 Apply the mask to the patient’s face and adjust the straps so the mask fits securely
III. Non Rebreathing Mask
Has an inflatable bag to store 100% oxygen and one way valve between the bag and mask to prevent exhaled air from entering the bag.
- one way valves covering one or both the exhalation ports to prevent entry of room air on inspiration
Delivers oxygen concentrations of 60%-100% at 6L-10L/min.
PARTIAL REBREATHER MASK has an inflatable bag that
stores 100 % oxygena) On inspiration, the patient
inhales from the mask and bag; on expiration, the bag refills with oxygen and expired gases exit through perforations on both side of the mask and some enters the bag
b) High concentrations of oxygen 50% to 75% can be delivered.
TYPES OF FACE MASK
PROCEDURE: For Non Rebreathing Mask And Partial Rebreathing Mask
1. Show the mask to the patient and explain the procedure
2. Attach the tubing to the flowmeter3. Set and adjust the flowmeter to 6- 10 L/min 4. Place mask on patients face and adjust the
straps5. Stay with the patient to make the patients
comfortable and observe reactions6. Remove mask periodically
V. Venturi Mask
Mask with device that mixes air and oxygen to deliver constant oxygen concentration.
Mask that delivers oxygen concentration of 24% - 40% at 4 – 8 L/min.
VENTURI MASK type of disposable mask used to deliver a controlled oxygen concentration to a patient. The flow of 100% oxygen through the venturi draws in a controlled amount of room air (21% oxygen).
Commonly available masks deliver 24, 28, 31, 35 or 40% oxygen.
PROCEDURE: For Venturi mask1. Show the venturi mask to the
patient and explain the procedure.
2. Connect the mask to the oxygen flowmeter
3. Set the prescribed rate (usually indicated on the mask
4. Place the mask over the patient’s nose and mouth then under the chin. Adjust the elastic strap
5. Determine the patient’s comfort with oxygen use
Delivers high concentration of oxygen to patient with insufficient inspiratory effort.
Delivers O2 concentration
of 15L/min at 100% with reservoir.
VI. Bag-Valve Mask (Ambu-bag)
Equipment/Supplies Hand held Ambu bag. Cuffed face maskOxygen source, Oxygen tubing. Gloves
VI. Bag-Valve Mask (Ambu-bag)
Purpose : Manually ventilate
client when off ventilator and unable to breath independently.
Promote oxygenation until able to breathe independently.
PROCEDURE: For Manual Resuscitation Bag
1. Wash hands. Refer to the Hand Washing procedure. 2. Explain procedure to client. 3. Connect to oxygen by attaching one end of tubing to flow meter adapter and one end to the Ambu bag. Turn the flowmeter to “ flush” position.4. Place mask over nose and mouth - use dominant hand to ventilate by compressing the bag oxygenation until able to breathe independently.5. Observe chest rise and fall to determine effectiveness of compressions. 6. Observe client color, comfort level.
Is used to administer oxygen to patient
with ET or tracheostomy tube who is breathing spontaneously.
A device for connecting two inputs to one output or vice versa
VII. T- PIECE ( BRIGGS) adapter
PROCEDURE: For T-piece (Briggs) adapter
1. Show the T-tube to patient and explain the procedure
2. Make sure the humidifier is filled to the appropriate mark
3. Attach the large bore tubing from the T-tube to the humidifier outlet.
4. Adjust the flow rate as ordered
5. Drain the tubing frequently by emptying condensate into a separate receptacle, not into the humidifier
Is a method of respiratory ventilation used primarily in the treatment of sleep apnea
Commonly used for critically ill patient with Respiratory Failure, CHF and COPD who are admitted in ICU, CCU or other specialized respiratory unit
VIII. CONTINOUS POSITIVE AIRWAY PRESSURE (CPAP)
1. Show the mask to the patient and explain the procedure.
2. Insert NG tube if ordered3. Attach NG tube adapter4. Set the desired oxygen
concentration.5. Place the mask on the patient’s
face and adjust the strap.6. Organize care to remove the mask
as infrequently as possible
PROCEDURE: For CPAP
Accomplished by way of a small (8 French) catheter inserted between the second and third tracheal cartilage
Oxygen delivery is more efficient because all oxygen enters the lungs.
Delivers oxygen concentrations of 60% - 100% at 4L-6L/min.
IX. Transtracheal Catheter
Administering Oxygen By Transtracheal Catheter
OXYGEN THERAPY FOR CHILDREN AND INFANTS
Children with respiratory problems may receive oxygen therapy via nasal cannula, face mask, face tent, oxygen hood and Closed Incubator may also be used for infants and young children.
Oxygen Concentration in Infants
High levels of oxygen given to
infants causes blindness by promoting overgrowth of new blood vessels in the eye obstructing sight. This is called retinopathy of prematurity (ROP).
Pediatric Assessment and Management
INITIAL ASSESSMENT
Begins before you touch the patient
Form a general impression.
Determine a chief complaint.

General Principles Regarding Oxygen Delivery
The choice of system will depend upon the clinical status of the patient and the desired dose of oxygen
Oxygen should be humidified, whenever possible, to prevent dried secretions from obstructing smaller airways.
The effectiveness of oxygen delivery should be monitored with pulse oximetry.
Young children in respiratory distress may become frightened or agitated when oxygen is administered, causing their clinical conditions to deteriorate. Therefore, they should remain in a position of comfort whenever possible
HOW IS OXYGEN DELIVERED? NASAL CANNULA A thin, soft, plastic tube
and has soft prongs that gently fit into your baby’s nose.
Oxygen flows through the tube. The baby must be able to breathe without assistance in order to use this type of oxygen therapy.
OXYGEN BY MASK Choose an appropriate size of mask
that covers the mouth and nose of the patient.
Rationale: Extra space under the mask and around face may decrease effectiveness of the therapy.
Do not use the mask for comatose infants or children
Rationale: Such children are most likely to vomit. The risk of aspiration may be increased with mask therapy because of obstruction of the flow of vomitus.
HOW IS OXYGEN DELIVERED? - is used for babies
who can breathe on their own but still need extra oxygen.
- A hood is a plastic dome or box with warm, moist oxygen inside. The hood is placed over the baby's head.
OXYGEN HOOD
OXYGEN HOOD Continously monitor the oxygen concentration, temperature, and humidity inside the hood.
Rationale: Oxygen should be warmed to prevent a neonatal response to cold stress, including oxygen deprivation and reduction of blood glucose levels.
OXYGEN THERAPY FOR CHILDREN
FACE TENT are available in adult size
only a flow of 8- 10 L/min
should be used to flush the system and provide a stable oxygen concentration
Face TentIt can replace oxygen masks
when masks are poorly tolerated by clients.
Soft and lightweight face tent designed for patients with facial skin burn or trauma.
Latex-free elastic head strap for better fit and less skin irritation.
CLOSED INCUBATOR OR ISOLETTES
The incubator is used to provide a controlled environment for the neonate.
When a baby is relatively stable but still premature or requiring intravenous fluids or other special attention, he or she is cared for in an "incubator."
The incubator keeps the baby warm with moistened air in a clean environment, and helps to protect the baby from noise, drafts, infection
Keep sleeves of incubator closed - to prevent loss of oxygen
1. Explain the procedure to the child and allow the child to feel the equipment and the oxygen flowing through the tube and mask
2. Maintain a clear airway by suctioning, if necessary.
3. Provide source of humidification
4. Observe the child’s response to oxygen
5. Terminate oxygen therapy gradually
6. Continually monitor the child’s response during weaning.
7. Observe for restlessness, increased pulse rate, respiratory distress, and cyanosis.
PROCEDURE : O2 Therapy for Children
POST PROCEDURE Monitor the effect of therapy with pulse
oximetry and/or blood gas analysis. Assess the patient for tolerance and
appropriateness of therapy All “continuous” and “prn” oxygen therapy must
be verified for proper set up and function.
Change equipment as specified in the SFH Changing of Equipment Policy.
POTENTIAL COMPLICATIONSImpairment of respiratory drive in people with
COPD(those who retain carbon dioxide)Discomfort secondary to drying of mucous
membranesEye irritationMask can act as barrier against feeding and
communicationCreation of a fire hazard (smoking in same
room must be banned)Restriction of activities.
NURSING CARE Before commencing oxygen therapy ensure that it is
prescribed and that the patient understands why he/she requires it. Reassurance and information can relieve the distress significantly.
Reassure the patient and sit him/her up comfortably supported by pillows before explaining how to use the equipment.
NURSING CARE Ensure the mask and elastic are not causing pressure marks,
especially on the nose or behind the ears. If using nasal prong, inspect inside of the nose daily for evidence of pressure on the mucosa.
If the patient is able to transfer to and from the bed to the chair/commode check that the oxygen tubing is long enough.
Offer advice and help with the use of nasal prong for eating or drinking.
