OXYGEN
ADMINISTRATION
BY- TANOJ PATIDAR
Administering Oxygen by Mask
Method.
DEFINITION
Oxygen administration is the process by which
supplemented oxygen is administered in high
concentration than that of atmospheric air.
PURPOSE
• To relieve dyspnea
• To prevent hypoxemia
• To increase oxygenation in tissue
• To administer higher concentration of oxygen
INDICATIONS
• Respiratory distress
• Shock
• Pre intra and post-operative patient
• Hypoxia and hypoxemia
• Severe trauma
• Acute MI
ARTICLES
• Oxygen source
• Mask
• Humidifier with distilled water
• Flow meter
• Oxygen tubing
• Gauze pieces/ cotton swabs
• No smoking signs
• Water soluble iubricant
METHODS
Most common ways are:
• By mask
• By nasal cannula
SOURCES:
Wall outlets
Oxygen cylinders
PROCEDURE
• Determine need for oxygen therapy , check physicians order
for rate , device to be used and concentration
• Perform an assessment of vital signs , level of consciousness
lab values and record
• Assess risk factors for oxygen administration in patient and
environment like hypoxia drive in patient and faulty electrical
connection
• Explain procedure to patient and relatives and emphasize how
he has to co operate
PROCEDURE
• Post NO SMOKING signals on patient door in view of patient
and visitors and explain to them the dangers of smoking when
oxygen is on flow.
• Wash hands
• Set up oxygen equipment and humidifier
a. Fill humidifier u to the mask on it
b. Attach flow meter to source set flow meter OFF position
c. Attach humidifier bottle to base of the flow meter
d. Attach tubing and face mask to humidifier
PROCEDURE
• Guide mask to patients face and apply it from nose downward
.Fit the piece mask to conform to shape of nose
• Secure elastic band around patients head
• Apply padding ears as well as scalp where elastic band assess
• Ensure that safety prevention are followed
• Insect patient and equipment frequently for flow rate clinical
condition level of water in humidifier Etc. .
PROCEDURE
• Wash hand
• Remove the mask and dry the skin every 2 to 3
hours. if oxygen is administrated continuously do not
put powder around the mask
• Document relevant data in patient record
NURSING MANAGEMENT
• Determine the need for oxygen therapy by verifying
the written order from the physician and hospital
policy
• Perform respiratory assessments on each patient to
determine level O2 therapy and titration protocol
documenting appropriately
• Encourage the use of inventive spirometry each
hour ,to avoid hospital acquired pneumonia
