University
2. OVERVIEW
Introduction
Oxygen transport
Indications
Oxygen delivery systems
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy
Complications of oxygen therapy
3. Stephen Hale – prepared oxygen along with other gases
Priestly –discovered it
Lavoisier- oxygen was absorbed by the lungs and
eliminated as carbon di oxide and water
Colourless, odourless tasteless gas
Boiling point at 1 atmosphere =-183 degree centigrade
Below this temperature it exists as a pale blue liquid
Critical temperature -118 degree centigrade
Cannot be ignited, aids combustion
Industrially prepared by liquefaction of air-fractional
distillation of liquefied air
4. OXYGEN THERAPY ….. WHAT?
Administration of O2 in concentration more
than in ambient air
↑Partial Pr of O2 in insp. Gas(Pi o2)
↑Partial Pr of O2 in alveoli (PAo2)
↑Partial Pr of O2 in arterial blood (Pao2)
5. “lack of O2 not only stops the machinery, but
also totally wrecks it “
J.S.Haldane
6. OXYGEN
Oxygen is 21% of atmosphere
760 mmHg x .21 = 160 mmHg PO2
This mixes with “old” air already in alveolus to arrive at
PO2 of 105 mmHg
Oxygen is either bound to haemoglobin (98%)
Oxygen dissolved in plasma (3%)
7. CARBON DI OXIDE
Carbon dioxide is .04% of atmosphere
760 mmHg x .0004 = .3 mm Hg PCO2
This mixes with high CO2 levels from residual volume
in the alveoli to arrive at PCO2 of 40 mmHg
CO2 transport
7% in plasma
23% in carbamino compounds (bound to globin part
of Hb)
70% as Bicarbonate
8.
9. Arterial Blood Venous Blood
O2 sat Hb 98% 40%
PO2 95 45
Hb bound to O2 19.7 14.7 ml/100ml
Total O2 content 20 14.8 ml/100ml
Dissolved O2 .003 .0012
Blood volume 1.25 l 3.75 l
Vol of O2 250ml 555ml
10. Oxygen content
Amount of O2 carried by 100 ml of blood
Co2 =Dissolved O2 + O2 Bound to hemoglobin
Co2 = Po2 × 0.0031 + So2 × Hb × 1.34
(Normal Cao2 = 20 ml/100ml blood
Normal Cvo2 = 15 ml/100ml blood)
C(a-v)o2 = 5 ml/100ml blood
Co2 = arterial oxygen content (vol%)
Hb = hemoglobin (g%)
1.34 = oxygen-carrying capacity of hemoglobin
Po2 = arterial partial pressure of oxygen (mmHg)
0.0031 = solubility coefficient of oxygen in plasma
13. Oxygen Uptake (VO2)
The Vo2 describes the volume of oxygen (in mL)
that leaves the capillary blood and moves into the
tissues each minute.
VO2 = CO x C(a-v)o2 x 10
normal VO2 = 200–300 mL/min or 110–160
mL/min/m2
DO2 =vol that reaches systemic capillaries each
minute=CO x CaO2 x 10=900-1100 ml/min
Direct VO2= M.Vx( FiO2-FeO2)
14. Oxygen-Extraction Ratio (O2ER)
The fraction of the oxygen delivered to the
capillaries and then to tissues.
An index of the efficiency of oxygen transport.
O2ER = VO2 / DO2
= CO x C(a-v)o2 x 10
CO x Cao2 x 10
= SaO2 - SvO2 / SaO2
Normal - 0.25 (range = 0.2–0.3)
16. What is Pasteur point ?
The critical level of PO2 below which aerobic
metabolism fails.
(1 – 2 mmHg PO2 in mitochondria)
Normal level (7-37mmhg)
17. REMEMBER……
PaO2 implies adequacy of gas exchange not arterial
saturation
Total vol of O2 805 ml, O2 consumption 250ml/min,
can only sustain aerobic metabolism for 3-4 min!!!!
Amt of O2 in blood is only 20-25% of the amount
needed for the complete oidative metabolism of
blood…Why so little?
Hb 15g/dl and C.O 5 L ,Total mass of circulating Hb
750gm….weight of heart 300gm
18. Is all this Hb necessary?
When extraction of O2 from systemic capillaries is
maximal only 40-50% of Hb in venous blood remains
fully saturated with oxygen.
This means half the circulating Hb is not being used to
support aerobic metabolism
WHAT IS IT DOING ???
19. CARBON DI OXIDE
Carbon dioxide is .04% of atmosphere Total Body CO2
130L total body water 45 L
760 mmHg x .0004 = .3 mm Hg PCO2
This mixes with high CO2 levels from residual volume
in the alveoli to arrive at PCO2 of 40 mmHg
CO2 transport
7% in plasma-.8 meq in plasma, 0.4 in RBC)
23% in carbamino compounds (bound to globin part
of Hb) 1.2 meq only in RBC
70% as Bicarbonate-16.2 plasma 4.6 RBC
20. Total Vol of CO2 in solution is
more than the solution
21. HALDANE EFFECT

CO 2 content
that results from
oxyhaemoglobin
desaturation
60% increased
CO2 in venous
blood is d/t
PCO2 ,40% d/t

25. What is the Oxygen Cascade?
The process of declining oxygen tension from atmosphere to
mitochondria

59. Air entrainment devices
Based on Bernoulli principle –
A rapid velocity of gas exiting from a restricted
orifice will create subatmospheric lateral
pressures, resulting in atmospheric air being
entrained into the mainstream.
60. Principle of Air entrainment
devices
Principle of constant-pressure jet mixing – a
rapid velocity of gas through a restricted orifice creates
“viscous shearing forces” that entrain air into the
mainstream.

62. Characteristics of Air entrainment
devices
Amount of air entrained varies directly with
size of the port and the velocity of O2 at jet
They dilute O2 source with air - FiO2 < 100%
The more air they entrain, the higher is the total
output flow but the lower is the delivered FiO2
63. 2 most common air-entrainment systems are
1. Air-Entrainment mask (venti-mask)
2. Air-Entrainment nebulizer
64. Venturi / Venti / HAFOE Mask

75. DEFINITION
A mode of medical treatment wherein
the patient breathes 100% oxygen at a
pressure greater than one Atmosphere
Absolute (1 ATA)
1 ATA is equal to 760 mm Hg at sea level
76. Basis of Hyperbaric O2 Therapy
Dissolved O2 in plasm0.003ml / 100ml of blood / mm
PO2
(Henry’s Law -The concentration of any gas in
solution is
proportional to its partial pressure.)

85. Pulmonary O2 Toxicity (Lorrain-
Smith effect)
Mechanism: High pO2 for a prolonged period of time
↓
intracellular generation of free radicals e.g.:
superoxide,H2O2 , singlet oxygen
↓

87. Indications for 70% - 100% oxygen
therapy
1. Resuscitation
2. Periods of acute cardiopulmonary instability
3. Patient transport
88. 2. Depression of Ventilation
Seen in COPD patients with chronic hypercapnia
Mechanism
↑PaO2
suppresses peripheral V/Q mismatch
chemoreceptors
depresses ventilatory drive ↑ dead space/tidal volume
ratio
↑PaCO2
89. 3. Retinopathy of prematurity
(ROP)
Premature or low-birth-weight infants who receive
supplemental O2
Mechanism
↑PaO2
↓
retinal vasoconstriction
↓
necrosis of blood vessels
↓
new vessels formation
↓
Hemorrhage → retinal detachment and blindness
To minimize the risk of ROP - PaO2 below 80 mmHg
90. 5. Fire hazard
High FiO2 increases the risk of fire
Preventive measures
Lowest effective FiO2 should be used
Use of scavenging systems
Avoid use of outdated equipment such as aluminium
gas regulators
Fire prevention protocols should be followed for
hyperbaric O2 therapy
91. Implications of Oxygen challenge
concept
To identify refractory hpoxemia (as it does not respond
to increased FiO2)
Refractory hpoxemia depends on increased cardiac
output to maintain acceptable FiO2
Potentially deleterious effect of increased FiO2 can be
avoided
92. SUMMARY
Therapeutic effectiveness of oxygen therapy is
limited to 25% - 50%
• Low V/Q hypoxemia is reversed with less than 50%
• Denitrogenation absorption atelectasis occurs with
FiO2 more than 50%
• Pulmonary oxygen toxicity is a potential risk factor
with FiO2 more than 50%
Bronchodilators, bronchial hygiene therapy and
diuretic therapy decreases the need for high FiO2
93. Oxygen is a drug.
When appropriately used, it is extremely beneficial
When misused or abused, it is potentially harmful
94. Problems
You are setting up an air-entrainment mask at an FIO2 of
0.40 and the oxygen flowmeter is set at 12 l/min. The
patient’s tidal volume is 600 mL and the inspiratory
time is 1.5 seconds. Is the flow from this system meeting
the patient’s inspiratory needs?
Air: Oxygen Ratio: 100-FiO2/FiO2-21
Air flow= air oxygen ratio x oxygen flow
Total Liter Flow: Oxygen Flow + Air Flow = 12 L/min +
36 L/min = 48 L/min
95. Peak Inspiratory Flowrate: ( Minute
ventilation/inspiratory time ) x 60 = .6/1.5 x 60= 24
L/min
Is the FDO2 > FIO2? YES NO
What FIO2 would the patient actually receive?
0.40
Less than 0.40
Greater than 0.40
96. You are setting up an air-entrainment nebulizer with a
tracheostomy mask at an FIO2 of 0.35 and the oxygen
flowmeter is set at 15 L/min. The patient’s minute
ventilation is 8 L/min and the I:E ratio is 1:3. Is the flow
from this system meeting the patient’s inspiratory
needs?
Air: Oxygen Ratio:
Total Liter Flow: Oxygen Flow + Air Flow = 15 L/min +
75 L/min = 90 L/min
97. Peak Inspiratory Flowrate: Minute ventilation x(
inspiratory timr = expiratory time)

Less than 0.35
Greater than 0.35
Editor's Notes
Venous admixture blood
Performance is based on whether a device delivers a a fixed or variable FiO2
Provide supplemental o2 directly to airway at a flow < 8L/min. because insp. Flow of a healthy adult exceeds 8L/min o2 provided by a low flow device is always diluted with air, result is low and variable fio2
Flows - 30 - 40 L/min (or > 3 times patient’s minute ventilation) thus provides a fixed FiO2.
Incorporates a mechanism for gathering and storing O2 between patient breaths. Pt draws on this reserve supply whenever insp flow exceedsO2 flow into the device. Air dilution is reduced. Prov higher fio2. can decrease O2 use by prov comparable at a lower rate
Nasal canula is aplastic disposable device consisting of two tips or prongs 1 cm long and is connected to oxygen tubing, is inserted into the vestibule of the nose, Humidifier is needed when the input flow exceeds 4 L/min.
A soft plastic tube with several small holes at the tip. It is inserted along the floor of either nasal passage under visualiszation till the tip is just above and behind the uvula. Once in position it is taped to bridge of nose. It is blindly inserted to a depth equal to the distance from nose to tragus. Should be replaced every 8 hrs. avoided in pts with maxillofacial trauma, basal skull #, nasal obstruction and coag prob.
Open ports for exhaled gas .Air entrained through ports if O2 flow does not meet peak insp flow
Because air dilution easily occurs during inspiration through its ports and around its body, it provides a variable fiO2
Gas flow>8 doesn’t significantly inc. fio2 bcoz o2 reservoir is filled
Have a 600 ml-1l reservoir bag attached to o2 inlet, because bag inc the reservoir vol, prov higher fio2
If the total ventilatory demands are met without RA entrainment, it acts as fixed performance device
FiO2 delivered is inconsistent, unpredictable and dependent on ventilatory pattern
When a pressurized oxygen is forced through a constricted orifice, the increased gas velocity distal to the orifice creates a shearing effect that causes room air to be entrained through the entrainment ports at a spacific ratio so that variation in orifice or entrainment port will change fiO2 .
Have a restricted orifice or jet through which o2 flows at high velocity.
The smaller the orifice, the greater is the velocity of o2 and the more air is entrained.
These masks come in the following varieties: 1. A fixed Fio2 model, which requires specific inspiratory attachments that are color coded and have labeled jets that produce a known Fio2 with a given flow. 2. A variable Fio2 model, which has a graded adjustment of the air entrainment port that can be set to allow variation in delivered Fio2.
O2 is delivered with a T tube, tracheostomy mask, aerosol mask or a face tent.
Parts- container for water for humidification,o2 inlet connected to o2 flowmeter, air entrainment port, outlet for total outflow, attachment to pt- brigg’s apparatus,trach masketc
Cooled to provide a comfortable temp within a plastic sheet canopy
MULTIPLACE – a large tank with capacity to priovide HBO to 10-12 pts simultaneously , has an airlock to allow entry & exit of medical staff without drop in ambient pr . Pt breathe 1005% o2 via mask, made of steel
MONOPLACE – transparent plexiglass cylindrical chamber to accommodate 1 pt. pressurized with 100% o2. pt doesn’t req mask. Made of acrylic glass
Normally enzyme such as superoxide dismutase rapidly inactivates superoxide molecule.
In presence of high FiO2, free radicals overwhelm O2 free radicals and cause cell damage
When COPD patients with chronic hypercapnia breathe moderate to high O2 conc, they hypoventilate d/t suppression of the hypoxic drive.
