Oxygen Equations: 1. What is the estimated FiO 2 of a 4 L/min nasal cannula? 2. What is the estimated FiO2 of a 2 L/min nasal cannula? 3. How long will an E tank last if there is 1500 psi and the patient is on a non-rebreather at 10 L/min? 4. For the previous patient, what if the psi was 900 psi? 5. How long will an H tank last if there is 1000 psi and the patient is on a 50% air-entrainment mask at 8 L/min? 6. How long will an H tank with 2100 psi last if the patient is on a non-rebreather at 12 L/min? 7. If you are going on a trip that you estimate to take 2 hours with a patient on a 12 L/min partial- rebreather mask, how many E cylinders should you have with you? 8. An E cylinder has 1200 psi and you are transporting a patient on a 6 L/min nasal cannula. If you wanted to ensure best safety practice, how long will this tank last? 9. How long will a 5 lb. liquid oxygen tank last with a 4 L/min nasal cannula? 10. How long will a 4 lb. liquid oxygen tank last with a 3 L/min nasal cannula? 11. If a patient is on a 60% air-entrainment mask at 10 L/min, what is the total flow? a. If this patient had a minute ventilation of 12 L/min, what is their inspiratory demand? b. Are you meeting their inspiratory demand with the current flow rate? c. What would the total flow be if you increased the flow meter to flush (15 L/min)? Does this meet the patient’s inspiratory demand? d. If you needed 60%, what could use alternatively to keep this a high flow device? 12. If a patient has a tidal volume of 450 mL and respiratory rate of 16/min, what is their inspiratory demand? a. You want to place this patient on a 50% air-entrainment mask, what liter flow should you set the flow meter to? b. If the patient needed more oxygen, would it help to increase the flow further?
13. If a patient has a minute ventilation of 10 L/min and you place them on a 35% aerosol mask, what flow should you set the flow meter to? 14. If you have a 28% trach mask set at 10 L/min, what is the total flow? 15. If a patient is on 80:20 heliox and a flow of 8L/min, what is the total flow of the device? 16. If a patient is on 70:30 heliox and a flow of 12 L/min, what is the total flow of the device? 17. If a patient is on 80:30 heliox and you want a total flow of 18 L/min, what should you set the flow meter to? 18. If a patient is on 70:30 heliox and you want a total flow of 15 L/min, what should you set the flow meter to?
