Is OxyMask better than non-rebreather?

CONCLUSION: The OxyMask outperformed the traditional NRBM in each tested category. There was a higher inspired oxygen level, lower inspired CO2 level, and more efficient CO2 clearance at each mask flow level and simulated patient minute volume.

Is OxyMask same as simple mask?

The company claims that, compared with standard masks, OxyMask results in a more consistent prescribed concentration of oxygen. The openings in the mask are also designed to minimise the risk of carbon dioxide rebreathing.

Why does OxyMask have holes?

Oxymask has large holes in mask, basically free flowing oxygen to pt mouth and nose and allowing pt to exhale CO2. NRB mask is designed to delivers 100% FiO2 whereas a SM delivers 60% FiO2.

Can you use humidity with an OxyMask?

Can OxyMask™ be used with a humidifier? Yes, the OxyMask™ can be used with a bubble humidifier, the same as one would use with a nasal cannula with flows from 1 to 6 litres per minute. But unlike a nasal cannula, the OxyMask™ does not cannulate an orifice and therefore, a bubble humidifier is usually not necessary.

How much oxygen can a OxyMask delivery?

OxyMask™ is a revolutionary open mask design capable of delivering a broad range of oxygen concentrations from 24 to 90 percent, at flows ranging from 1 to 15+ liters per minute. OxyMask™ is your complete mask solution.

Is OxyMask high flow?

The OxyMask (Southmedic Inc, Canada) is a new face mask for oxygen delivery that uses a small ‘diffuser’ to concentrate and direct oxygen toward the nose and mouth, thereby delivering high concentrations of oxygen at a relatively low flow.

How long can you wear a non-rebreather mask?

All spontaneously breathing patients require preoxygenation with 100% oxygen via tight-fitting non-rebreather mask for at least 2 to 3 minutes. For patients requiring atropine, this agent should be administered 4 minutes prior to anticipated laryngoscopy (see Table 3-1).

What is OxyMask?

OxyMask (Southmedic) is an open mask that uses an innovative pin and diffuser system to deliver oxygen therapy. The mushroom-shaped pin is designed to redirect and concentrate the oxygen flow while the diffuser directs the flow towards the nose and mouth.

Can you use humidity with OxyMask?

Can OxyMask™ be used with a humidifier? Yes, the OxyMask™ can be used with a bubble humidifier, the same as one would use with a nasal cannula with flows from 1 to 6 litres per minute.

Can you use a bubbler with an OxyMask?

Yes, the OxyMask™ can be used with a bubble humidifier, the same as one would use with a nasal cannula with flows from 1 to 6 litres per minute. But unlike a nasal cannula, the OxyMask™ does not cannulate an orifice and therefore, a bubble humidifier is usually not necessary.

Do oxygen masks expire?

The majority of disposable respirators have an expiry date and once this date has passed, the respirator mask should not be used.

How low can you go with OxyMask?

The preliminary clinical trial on the performance of the OxyMask showed that the device was effective at supplying a wide range of FiO2 values, from 25% at 1.5 LPM up to a maximum of 80% at 15 LPM. Further increases in oxygen flow rates, above 15 LPM, did not significantly improve the delivered FiO2.

Is OxyMask high flow or low flow?

Does an OxyMask need humidification?

OxyMask™ delivers supplemental oxygen via a ‘virtual reservoir’ formed by a vortex of concentrated oxygen flow directed at the patient’s mouth and nose (Figure 2). This open mask design does not require added humidity as humid room air is entrained into the mask as the patient inhales.

When should I take OxyMask?

The flow range capabilities of the OxyMask™ facilitate patients leaving the hospital without the need to transition to a nasal cannula. The use of OxyMask™ may prevent re-admissions when patients are unable to wear a nasal cannula and need a higher level of oxygenation.

How many Litres is a non-rebreather?

Non-rebreather face mask 10 – 15 Liters Per Minute. Pre-fill the reservoir on the mask prior to placing the mask on the patient.

How does the OxyMask work?

How does the OxyMask™ open design work? At the heart of this technology, is an innovative Pin and Diffuser system designed to concentrate and redirect the flow of oxygen. The mushroom-shaped Pin redirects the flow of oxygen, forming an organized pattern of vortices and a cloud of concentrated oxygen molecules.
