Oxygen:
• Colourless• Odourless• Tasteless• Transparent gas• Slightly heavier than air• Constitutes 20-21% of atmospheric air• Essential for life
What is O2 Therapy ?
Oxygen therapy is the administration of oxygen at concentrations greater than that in room air to treat or prevent hypoxia.
Oxygen is available to us • Medical grade oxygen (99% or 99.5% pure) is
manufactured by fractional distillation of liquid air.• Oxygen can be stored as compressed gas at room
temperature or as liquid when refrigerated.• Oxygen cylinder
• Delivery system : Hose drops, Gas columns, Articulating arms

Anoxia No oxygen availability in tissues
Hypoxia Lack of oxygen availability in
tissues
Hypoxemia Lack of oxygen in the blood
Basics

Indications for Oxygen Therapy
• Hypoxemia– Inadequate amount of oxygen in the blood– SPO2 < 90%
– PaO2 < 60 mmHg
• Excessive work of breathing• Excessive myocardial workload
7
Causes of Hypoxemia• Shunt• Hypoventilation
– As carbon dioxide increases oxygen falls• V/Q mismatching (ventilation/perfusion)
– Pneumonia– Pulmonary edema– ARDS
• Increased diffusion gradient– asbestosis– Early pulmonary edema
Hypoxia
Types of hypoxia• Hypoxic hypoxia – PaO2↓
• Anaemic hypoxia – O2 content ↓, PaO2 normal
• Stagnant hypoxia
• Histotoxic hypoxia
Hypoxic hypoxia• Causes
– O2 poor air, hypoxic gas mixture– High altitude – Hypoventilation– Shunts – Septal defects – Diffusion defects - pneumonia, lobar collapse
Anaemic hypoxia• Oxygen carrying capacity of blood is
decreased. – Anemia :↓ haemoglobin– Altered haemoglobin
• CO poisoning • meth / sulph-haemoglobin
Stagnant hypoxia• Inadequate tissue perfusion• Generalized:
- Hypovolemia- Mitral stenosis- Constrictive pericerditis- Myocardial ischaemia
• Localized hypo perfusion: - Arterial obstruction, thrombus,
oedema
Histotoxic hypoxia
• Cells can not utilize the oxygen .• Electron transfer system of cytochrome
oxidase is paralysed.• e.g.
– cyanide poisoning
Benefit of O2 therapy in Hypoxia
Hypoxic hypoxia + + +Anaemic hypoxia +Stagnant hypoxia +Histotoxic hypoxia -
Effects of hypoxia• Acute hypoxia :
- Restlessness- Disorientation, confusion- In-coordination, Impaired judgment- Hyperventilation air hunger-Circulatory changes (tachycardiabrady )
• Chronic hypoxia :- fatigue, drowsiness, ↓ work capacity- inattentiveness ,apathy, delayed reaction time
Oxygen Therapy
Assessment of need• Presence of clinical indicators • Measurement of inadequate oxygen saturations
– by invasive or noninvasive methods,• Arterial blood gas• Pulse oximetry
Errors in pulse oximetry• Artificial fingernails• Dark pigmentation • Electrical interference • Intravenous dyes • Movement• Nail Polish • Pulsatile venous system• Radiated light
Types of Oxygen Therapy• Giving Oxygen more
than 21% at ambient atm pressure
• Giving Oxygen more than 21% at high atm pressure ( >1 atm)
Orthobaric Hyperbaric
Three clinical goals of O2 therapy
1. Treat hypoxia
2. Decrease work of breathing
3. Decrease myocardial Work
Oxygen therapy
1. Correcting Hypoxemia• By raising Alveolar & Blood levels of Oxygen• Easiest objective to measure
2. Decreasing symptoms of Hypoxemia• Supplemental O2 can help relieve symptoms of
hypoxia–Lessen dyspnoea/work of breathing– Improve mental function
3. Minimizing Cardiopulmonary workload• Cardiopulmonary system will compensate for Hypoxemia
by:– Increasing ventilation to get more O2 in the lungs & to the Blood– Increased work of breathing – Increasing Cardiac Output to get more oxygenated blood to tissues– Hard on the heart, especially if diseased
• Hypoxia causes Pulmonary vasoconstritcion & Pulmonary Hypertension– These cause an increased workload on the right side of heart– Over time the right heart will become more muscular & then
eventually fail (Cor Pulmonale)
• Supplemental o2 can relieve hypoxemia & relieve pulmonary vasoconstriction & Hypertension, reducing right ventricular workload!!
• Minimal acceptable saturation for post surgical patients who are cared for in non critical setup is 92%
FACTORS THAT DETERMINE WHICH SYSTEM TO USE
1. Patient comfort / acceptance 2. The level of FiO2 that is needed
3. The requirement that the FiO2 be controlled within a certain range4. The level of humidification and /or nebulization5. Minimal resistance to breathing6. Efficient & economical use of oxygen

LOW FLOW DEVICES
HIGH FLOW DEVICES
LOW FLOW OXYGEN DELIVERY
DEVICES
NASAL CANNULAHOW TO USE? disposable.
plastic devise with two protruding prongs for insertion into the nostrils, connected to an oxygen source.
- The standard nasal cannula delivers an inspiratory oxygen fraction (FIO2) of 24-44% at supply flows ranging from 1-6 L·min-1.
- The formula is FIO2 = 20% + (4 × oxygen litre flow). The FIO2 is influenced by breath rate, tidal volume and pathophysiology.
- The slower the inspiratory flow the higher the FIO2.
Delivers 24 to 44% oxygen at 1 to 6 L/min• 1 = 24 %• 2 = 28 %• 3 = 32 %• 4 = 36 %• 5 = 40 %• 6 = 44 %
FACTSADVANTAGESPatients are able to talk and eat with oxygen in place
Easily used in home setting
DISADVANTAGESmay cause irritation
to the nasal and pharyngeal mucosa
if oxygen flow rates
are above 4 liters/minute Variable FIO2
SIMPLE OXYGEN MASKSimple mask is made of clear, flexible , plastic
or rubber that can be molded to fit the face.
It is held to the head with elastic bands.
Some have a metal clip that can be bent over the bridge of the nose for a comfortable fit
O2 inlet
Exhalation ports
• Open ports for exhaled gas
• Air entrained through ports if O2 flow through does not meet peak inspiratory flow
• 5 – 10 liters per minute • < 5 liters will not flush CO2
from mask • 40 – 60% FIO2 approximately
depending on the pattern of breathing.
FACTSADVANTAGES
• Can provide increased delivery of oxygen for short period of time
• The face mask is indicated in patients with nasal irritation or epistaxis.
• It is also useful for patients who are strictly mouth breathers.
DISADVANTAGES-Tight seal required to deliver higher concentration- Difficult to keep mask in position over nose and mouth-Potential for skin breakdown due(pressure, moisture)- Uncomfortable for pt while
eating or talking.- Obtrusive, uncomfortable
and confining. - It muffles communication,
obstructs coughing.
PARTIAL REBREATHING MASK• Mask is a simple mask with a reservoir bag.• Same as the Non re-breathing bag but..without
a one way valve.• Low flow, medium concentration • 50 – 70% • 8 – 12 liters per minute • Bag should remain at least 1/3 full during
inspiration • Allow the mixture or oxygen and carbon dioxide
in the mask.
Partial Rebreather mask
Exhalationports
O2
Reservoir
• O2 directed into reservoir• Insp: draw gas from bag
& room air• Exp: first 1/3 of exhaled
gas goes into bag (dead space)
• Dead space gas mixes with ‘new’ O2 going into bag
• Deliver ~60% O2
FACTSADVANTAGES- Can inhale room air
through openings in mask if oxygen supply is briefly interrupted.
- Not as drying to mucous membranes
DISADVANTAGES- Requires tight seal
- Eating and talking difficult, uncomfortable-
NON REBREATHING MASKthe one-way valve closes and all of the expired air is
deposited into the atmosphere, not the reservoir bag.
This mask provides the highest concentration of oxygen (95-
100%) at a flow rate 8-15 L/min.
It is similar to the partial rebreather mask except two one-
way valves prevent conservation of exhaled air.
Non-Rebreathing Mask
• Valve prevents exhaled gas flow into reservoir bag
• Valve over exhalation ports prevents air entrainment
• Delivers ~100% O2, if bag does not completely collapse during inhalation

Airway adjuncts
Airway Adjuncts• Oropharyngeal Airway (OP)
– Helps prevent tongue from obstructing posterior pharynx
– Potential use in unconscious patient– Cannot use in patients with intact gag reflex– SIZING: measure from corner of mouth to angle of
jaw– PLACEMENT: direct method vs rotation method.
Airway Adjuncts• Nasopharyngeal Airway (NP)
– Unconscious or depressed mental status– SIZING: Measure from the tip of the nares to the
tragus of ear– CONTRAINDICATIONS: basilar skull fracture,
midface fractures, bleeding disorders– Relative contraindication: children < 1 year old
OXYGENATION AND VENTILATIONBag-Valve-Mask
With oxygen reservoir
Bag-Mask Ventilation• Key—ventilation volume: “enough to produce
obvious chest rise”
1-Person: difficult, less effective
2-Person:easier, more effective
OXYGENATION AND VENTILATION
Successful bag-mask ventilation depends on three things:
• Patent airway :Airway patency can be established using basic airway maneuvers
• Adequate mask seal :In order to secure a good seal, the mask must be placed and held correctly
• Proper ventilation (ie, proper volume, rate )
LMA
• Dr. Archie Brain developed LMA in 1982 as a modification of Goldman dental mask.
• Standard of airway management , filling the niche between facemask and tracheal tubes.
• They sit outside the trachea and provide a handsfree means of gas tight airway.
• The first Supraglottic airway device was LMA-Classic(1989)
Indications Contraindications
Alternative Airway during GA Risk of aspiration
Essential part of difficult airway trolley Local pathology in pharynx , larynx or upper airway.
Cardiopulmonary resuscitaion : to secure airway
Trismus, facial or upper airway trauma
Relative indication in professional singers:To avoid trauma to vocal cords
Morbid obese, > 14 week pregnant, prior opiods medication, delayed gastric empting
Reduced lung compliance/increase work of breathing
LMA Classic
ENDOTRACHEAL TUBE
(ET Tube)
• Endotracheal tubes are curved tubes used for intubation
• Tubes were previously made up of latex (indian rubber) and those still available , currently plastic tubes (PVC) are preferred because of following advantages :
Disposable (less chances of infection) Hypoallergenic ( since latex allergy is fairly common) Transparent (easy visualization of blockage ETT due
to blood , pus , secretions
• THE ET TUBE HAS THE FOLLOWING COMPONENTS :
PROXIMAL END – 15mm adapter (connector) which fits to ventilator or AMBU bag
CENTRAL PORTION – 1. A vocal cord guide (black line ) which should be
placed at the level of the opening of the vocal cords so that the tip of the ET tube is positioned above the bifurcation if the trachea.
2. A radio-opaque marker which is essential for accurate visualization of the position of the ET tube within the trachea by means of an X-ray
3. The distance indicator (marked in centimeters) which facilitates placement of ET tube.
4. A cuff- incase of cuff ET tube DISTAL END – has Murphy’s eye (opening in
the lateral wall ) which prevents complete blockage of ET tube incase the distal end is impacted with secretion , blood , etc.
TYPES• ET tubes can be : - cuffed
- uncuffed• Cuffed ET tubes are used in children > 8 years• The cuff when inflated maintains the ET tube in proper
position and prevents aspiration of contents from GI tract into respiratory tract
• In children < 8 uncuffed ET tubes are used because the narrow subglottic area performs the function of a cuff and prevents the ET tube from slipping.

USES For Mechanical Ventilation For Intermittent Positive Pressure Ventilation
(IPPV) During resuscitation Direct suctioning of trachea in meconium
aspiration In Epiglottits & life threatening croup In tetanus (however for long term bases,
tracheostomy is preferable) In angioneurotic edema
COMPLICATIONS Mechanical trauma to tongue, teeth , palate ,
pharynx & larynx during intubation procedure Stimulation of posterior of posterior pharyngeal
wall leading to coughing , vomiting or vasovagal episode with resultant hypoxia , bradycardia.
Prolonged intubation may cause pressure necrosis of laryngeal structures leading to persistant hoarseness ( hence tracheostomy) is indicated in patients requiring long-term mechanical ventilation)

METHODS OF ADMINISTRATION of HBOT
Problems with HBOT
• Barotrauma– Ear/ sinus trauma– Tympanic membrane rupture– Pneumothorax
• Oxygen toxicity• Fire hazards• Clautrophobia • Sudden decompression
Long Term Oxygen Therapy
• To provide prolong and improve quality of life in hypoxic pt with COPD
• Indicated For– Pt with PaO2< 55mmHg or less– Pt with PaO2< 59mmHg or less plus
peripheral edema, hematocrit of >55% or P-pulmonale on ECG
Should be reassessed at one month
Complications of Oxygen therapy
1. Oxygen toxicity2. Depression of ventilation3. Retinopathy of Prematurity4. Absorption atelectasis5. Fire hazard
1. O2 Toxicity
• Primarily affects lung and CNS.• 2 factors: PaO2 & exposure time
• CNS O2 toxicity (Paul Bert effect) – occurs on breathing O2 at pressure > 1 atm– tremors, twitching, convulsions
Pulmonary Oxygen toxicity
C/F acute tracheobronchitis• Cough and substernal pain• ARDS like state
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 ↓ react with cellular DNA, sulphydryl proteins &lipids ↓ cytotoxicity
↓ damages capillary endothelium, ↓
Interstitial edema Thickened alveolar capillary membrane.
↓ Pulmonary fibrosis and hypertension
A Vicious Cycle
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
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
4. Absorption atelectasis100% O2

PO2 =673PCO2 = 40PH2O = 47
A B
A – UNDERVENTILATEDB – NORMAL VENTILATED
Denitrogenation Absorption atelectasis
The “denitrogenation” absorption atelectasis is because of collapse of underventilated alveoli (which depends on nitrogen volume to remain above critical volume )
↓ Increased physiological shunt
Take home message!!
• Oxygen is a drug, prescribe it as other drugs, i.e, amount, device and time should be specified.
• If patient’s SpO2 is not good with nasal cannula, consider changing the device instead of increasing flow rate.
• Over jealous use of oxygen is often without justification & consideration of toxic effects of oxygen therapy. So think before such unaccounted for use of oxygen.
