Question 1

what happens when you put a high volume oxygen mask on a person whose tank is set at 3 in an 18 hr period?

Accepted Answer

They could die: It is not a good idea to change the oxygen setting. Sometimes increasing the oxygen flow can shut down the respiratory drive and the person can stop breathing.

Question 2

copd ---- what's considered a high concentration of required oxygen?

Accepted Answer

Copd: Generally COPD patients require only about 2-3 liters of oxygen. More concentrated oxygen will have a detrimental effect. It increases what is called partial pressure of co2. If the levels go beyond 40 then the patient may become lethargic, becomes short of breath.

Question 3

for copd, what's considered a high concentration of required supplemental oxygen?

Accepted Answer

4 - 5 lpm: There is no classification commonly agreed to since it would serve no medical purpose. Most supplier are not able to provide more than 6 lpm without liquid oxygen tanks. People requiring these levels have a very limited life expectancy.

Question 4

Levels of help: Each can be used to give a person oxygen.  The prongs in the nose are nasal cannula, the mask delivers a higher concentration or oxygen and the breathing tube does the highest.
