side not moving with breath, increased HR, shallow respirations, nagging cough, air
hunger)

administer humidification? - Answer- 24-44%
1-6 L/min
humidification at 4 L/min

What is the FiO2 and the flow rate for a simple face mask? - Answer- 40-60%
5-8 L/min (less than this causes the patient to rebreathe CO2)

What is the FiO2 and the flow rate for a partial rebreather mask? - Answer- 40-75%
6-11 L/min

What is the FiO2 and the flow rate for a non-rebreather? - Answer- 80-95%
