A pilot study comparing 2 oxygen delivery methods for patients' comfort and administration of oxygen.
BACKGROUND The traditional oxygen delivery methods for oxygen therapy are continuous flow oxygen (CFO) and demand oxygen delivery (DOD); however, oxygen waste is considerable in CFO, while DOD is uncomfortable for patients. Synchronized DOD (SDOD), which was designed to overcome the drawbacks of both CFO and DOD, supplies oxygen according to the patient's breathing pattern and the desired oxyge...
متن کاملEvaluation of adherence to oxygen therapy standards before, during and after oxygen hood administration
Background and Purpose: Oxygen therapy is one of the common treatments for neonates with cardiopulmonary disease. The aim of this study was to evaluate adherence to oxygen therapy standards by nurses before, during and after using oxygen hood. Methods: In this cross-sectional study, 250 cases of nursing care were evaluated before, during and after administration of oxygen hood therapy in pre...
متن کاملComparison of the OxyMask and Venturi mask in the delivery of supplemental oxygen: pilot study in oxygen-dependent patients.
BACKGROUND 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 mouth and nose. The authors hypothesized that this unique design would enable the OxyMask to deliver oxygen more efficiently than a Venturi mask (Hudson RCI, USA) in patients with chronic hypoxemia. METHODS Oxygen-dependent patients wi...
متن کاملOxygen delivery and oxygen uptake in postoperative and septic patients.
Pathologic dependency of VO2 on DO2 has been reported in postoperative and septic patients. We studied the influence of an artifact due to calculation of VO2 from CO and AV content difference. In 13 postoperative and seven septic patients, the relationships between DO2 and cVO2 and between DO2 and mVO2 were analyzed by linear regression. In ten patients, cVO2 and DO2 were significantly correlat...
متن کاملNitric Oxide Administration Using an Oxygen Hood: A Pilot Trial
BACKGROUND We have shown earlier that inhaled nitric oxide (iNO) administered by oxygen hood reduces pulmonary hypertension in an animal model (J Perinatol 2002; 22:50-6). Our objective in this study was to determine feasibility of iNO by oxygen hood in neonates with elevated alveolar-arterial oxygen gradients (A-aDO(2)). METHODS/PRINCIPAL FINDINGS Masked randomized controlled pilot trial. In...
