Chris NicksonChris is an Intensivist and ECMO specialist at the Alfred ICU in Melbourne. He is also a Clinical Adjunct Associate Professor at Monash University. He is a co-founder of the Australia and New Zealand Clinician Educator Network (ANZCEN) and is the Lead for the ANZCEN Clinician Educator Incubator programme. He is on the Board of Directors for the Intensive Care Foundation and is a First Part Examiner for the College of Intensive Care Medicine. He is an internationally recognised Clinician Educator with a passion for helping clinicians learn and for improving the clinical performance of individuals and collectives. After finishing his medical degree at the University of Auckland, he continued post-graduate training in New Zealand as well as Australia’s Northern Territory, Perth and Melbourne. He has completed fellowship training in both intensive care medicine and emergency medicine, as well as post-graduate training in biochemistry, clinical toxicology, clinical epidemiology, and health professional education. He is actively involved in in using translational simulation to improve patient care and the design of processes and systems at Alfred Health. He coordinates the Alfred ICU’s education and simulation programmes and runs the unit’s education website, INTENSIVE. He created the ‘Critically Ill Airway’ course and teaches on numerous courses around the world. He is one of the founders of the FOAM movement (Free Open-Access Medical education) and is co-creator of litfl.com, the RAGE podcast, the Resuscitology course, and the SMACC conference. His one great achievement is being the father of three amazing children. On Twitter, he is @precordialthump. | INTENSIVE | RAGE | Resuscitology | SMACC What percentage of oxygen provided by connecting a high flow of oxygen to the oxygen inlet found on a pocket mask?Supplemental oxygen from an emergency oxygen regulator flows to the mask via a hose that is attached to a barbed inlet on the mask. With the addition of oxygen, these masks can deliver a concentration of oxygen around 40% as opposed to the 16% of oxygen with mouth-to-mouth rescue breathing only.
What percentage of exhaled oxygen gas concentrations is delivered during rescue breathing through a pocket face mask not attached to supplemental oxygen?Without being hooked up to an external line, exhaled air from the provider can still provide sufficient oxygen to live, up to 16%.
Which description best describes proper o2 flow for a nonA non-rebreather mask can deliver between 60 percent to 80 percent oxygen at a flow rate of about 10 to 15 liters/minute (L/min).
What is the approximate amount of oxygen in a portable e cylinder?E-cylinders provide the most appropriate balance of having sufficient oxygen for an emergency, yet are small enough to be portable. A full E-cylinder holds over 600 liters of oxygen and will indicate a pressure of approximately 2200 psi (Figure 1).
