A physician orders a patient to receive oxygen 3L/minute via nasal cannula. When calculating the
fraction of inspired oxygen (FiO2) for this setting, which of the following would be correct?
28%
32%
36%
40%
Calculate:
___ L x 4 + 20 = FiO2 or concentration of oxygen; each additional L of flow is + 4% - Answer: B. 32%
FiO2 is essentially the percent of oxygen being delivered by the oxygen-delivery system
An order is received to place a patient on a Venturi mask of 40%. Which explanation best fits this oxygen
delivery device?
Different masks are used for each desired oxygen concentration.
An air entrainment device blends the oxygen with room air.
One set oxygen flow rate is used with this mask.
With a venture, there is variable oxygen delivery. - One set oxygen flow rate is used with this mask.
Obstructive sleep apnea - partial or complete upper airway obstruction during sleep with repeated
periods of apnea, brief arousals resulting in a fragmented sleep.
