Abstract:BACKGROUND: The nasal cannula is widely regarded as a safe and effective means of administering low-and high-flow oxygen to patients irrespective of their age. However, variability in delivered oxygen concentration (F DO 2 ) via nasal cannula has the potential to pose health risks. The present study aimed to evaluate predictive equations for F DO 2 over a large parameter space, including variation in breathing, oxygen flow, and upper-airway geometry representative of both young children and adults. METHODS: Re… Show more
