Oxygen therapy plays a vital role in hospital settings, supporting patients with respiratory challenges by delivering supplemental oxygen to maintain optimal blood oxygen levels. Two commonly used devices for oxygen administration in hospitals are the standard face mask and the Venturi mask, each tailored for specific clinical scenarios.

Face Mask (Click on the link to learn more)

The standard face mask is a versatile device used for moderate oxygen delivery. It provides oxygen concentrations of approximately 40–60% at flow rates of 5–10 liters per minute (L/min). This mask is ideal for patients requiring oxygen support without the need for precise concentration control.

Venturi Mask (Click on the link to learn more)

The Venturi mask is a precision device designed for patients who need controlled oxygen delivery. By using color-coded or adjustable valves, it ensures the delivery of specific oxygen concentrations, typically ranging from 24% to 60%. This feature makes it particularly effective for patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) or conditions where accurate oxygen levels are critical.
