A member asked:
Am i right in thinking that if a patient is being administered o2 via metal prongs but is switched to a hudson mask then the latter provides more 02?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Hudson mask wins: Not sure what exactly you mean by metal prongs but a Hudson mask with a resvior will deliver the most O2 without using non-invasive ventilation or intubation
