what is a non-Rebreathing oxygen Mask?
The non-rebreathing oxygen mask enables the delivery of high concentrations of oxygen and is recommended for use in patients who are critically ill.
In order to ensure that the mask is functioning correctly and is used effectively, it is important to follow the manufacturer's recommendations for simple, basic checks prior to use.
The non-rebreathing mask (sometimes called a Hudson mask) with an oxygen reservoir bag, can be used to deliver high concentrations of oxygen to a spontaneously breathing patient.
A one-way valve diverts the oxygen flow into the reservoir bag during expiration; the contents of the reservoir bag, together with the high flow of oxygen, result in minimal entrainment of air and an inspired oxygen concentration of approximately 85%.The valve also prevents exhaled gases from entering the reservoir bag. The use of the oxygen reservoir bag helps to increase the inspired oxygen concentration by preventing oxygen loss during inspiration.
It is important to ensure that a sufficient oxygen flow rate is used so the oxygen reservoir bag does not collapse during inspiration;
a flow rate of 12-15l/minute is recommended.
Some non-rebreathing masks have elasticated ear loop bands. As these eliminate the need to move the patient's head, they are used frequently in A&E departments for trauma patients.
