What is the appropriate value for the venturi mask? Oxygen delivery devices with percent of oxygen delivered
Delivery device
Amount of delivered FiO₂
Nasal cannula
1-6 L/min = 24%-44% O₂
Simple face mask
5-8 L/min = 35%-55% O₂
Venturi mask
Partial rebreather mask
6-12 L/min = 60%-90% O₂
Nonrebreather mask
6-15 L/min = 70%-100% O₂

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The Venturi mask is designed to deliver a precise oxygen concentration to the patient by mixing oxygen with room air. This makes option C (4-10 L/min = 24%-55%) the correct choice, as it reflects a range of oxygen concentrations that can be achieved with a Venturi mask, although the specific values provided in the options do not directly match standard references for Venturi masks. The correct values for a Venturi mask typically range from 24% to 50% or 60% at flow rates of 4-10 L/min, indicating a precise control over the oxygen delivered, which is not explicitly listed among the provided options.
