EXAMPLE CALCULATION
OXYGEN SOURCE
A 10 kg patient at 12 breaths per minute on a desired 35% oxygen
saturation: placed in a Smart Oxygen unit using an initial flow rate
of 5 lpm.
u
Use Table 1 to determine the approximate amount of time (in
minutes) to reach the desired oxygen concentration based on
Venturi selection and flow rate. This is with no patient inside.
With the patient inside, it will take slightly longer to achieve the
desired concentration.
u
Example
2.8 mins to achieve desired oxygen concentration
Then, once concentration is achieved:
u
Use Table 2 to determine how much your patient’s tidal volume.
u
Example
0.10 lpm base on 10 ml/kg/min tidal volume
u
Use Table 3 to determine the minimum oxygen flow rate needed
to maintain the oxygen concentration base on the patient’s
current respiratory rate.
u
Example
2.4 lpm minimum oxygen flow rate (1/min) to maintain
oxygen
u
Use the numbers from Tables 2 & 3 to determine the minimum
flow rate neeed for the patient. This may change as the patient’s
respiratory rate changes.
u
Example
2.4 lpm + 0.10 lpm = 2.5 lpm minimum flow rate
needed to maintain the desired oxygen concentration
Oxygen from an oxygen tank is the best source for the Smart
Oxygen unit. Oxygen concentrators may be used but due to the
lower PSI and oxygen concentration, the oxygen concentration
inside the Smart Oxygen unit may not be what is expected or stated
in the instructions. Using an oxygen analyzer inside the cage can
help the user ensure the correct concentration is achieved when
using an oxygen concentrator as the oxygen source.
