Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The non-rebreather mask is a high-flow oxygen delivery system that delivers the highest concentration of oxygen possible without mechanical ventilation. The mask has one-way valves that prevent the patient from rebreathing exhaled carbon dioxide, while allowing oxygen to be delivered with every breath. It is not typically used for humidification, and may interfere with eating or talking. The oxygen concentration delivered by a non-rebreather mask is typically 80-100%.
