Oxygen Masks

Delivery device effective oxygen which is primarily used to provide oxygen from the lungs storage tank are oxygen masks. This device is usually a mask or an accompaniment in the nose and mouth which is made of Silicon rubber and plastic. Many people use it today in particular medical providers, aviators, researchers in medicine and hyperbaric chamber and other patients. Thus, a wide variety of styles are now available for oxygen masks.

There are four basic styles available oxygen masks. He is the simple mask, the mask of the company, the partial Rebreather mask and mask rebreathing.

Simple mask is the most commonly available to the public oxygen mask. This has a number of vents on both sides and can provide some 35-40% oxygen. However if the oxygen flow increases of 10 L/min, this can deliver 50 per cent of oxygen. The drawback with this type of oxygen mask is this poorly attached with large ventilation holes, so the flow of oxygen is diluted with air.

Mask of the company, however, is an oxygen mask that uses a mechanical venturi effect to increase the flow of oxygen in the mask. Usually, this is used online in clinical practice and is not advisable to be used in the field because it offers only oxygen, which is only about 24 to 28%.

The partial recycler is another type of oxygen mask. This type of mask, which is often called concentration average delivery of oxygen mask, resembles almost mask Rebreather, but he is not a one-way valve between the mask and tank bag. This offers nearly 40 to 50 percent of oxygen and can increase up to 60 percent.

The latter type is the rebreathing. Four types, is one who can provide up to 90% of oxygen. It made use of valves on both sides in order to prevent expiration of air and oxygen dilution patient reservoir bag. Valves open when the patient inhales and breathe oxygen. However, masks of this type with valves on both sides are only prescription masks.

What are the different styles of oxygen masks. All are capable of providing the necessary oxygen. However, before choosing one, it is always best to consult a doctor especially if you are considering a mask with oxygen Rebreather.
