5. Oxygen MODULE
5.1 Inhalation function
You can perform oxygen inhalation using the Oxygen
MODULE.
Conditions of use
Oxygen inhalation only makes sense in emergency
patients who are still breathing spontaneously. This is
the case with breathing disorders, for example.
In the event of respiratory failure, inhalation of oxygen
is by no means adequate and artificial ventilation will
be required here. The pressure of the oxygen during
inhalation is not adequate to overcome the resistance
of the respiratory tract, so not enough oxygen reaches
the lungs.
The patient is supplied with oxygen via an inhalation
mask or nasal cannula.
You can also connect the inhalation tube to a
ventilation bag to allow ventilation at an increased
oxygen concentration.
To prevent mucous membranes drying out in the case
of prolonged oxygen inhalation, you can fit a bubble
humidifier (see “4.5 Assembling the bubble humidifier”
on page 17).
