Adjust the oxygen flow
Adjust the flow of the oxygen source and ensure that the oxygen
concentration shown on the display of the high-flow device corresponds
to the required values. The FiO2 can be controlled automatically when
using the LM Flow 100.
The oxygen concentration must be within the preset range of the alarm
parameters for the oxygen concentration, otherwise an alarm will
sound.
Note to the reader:
The gas inhaled by the patient may be below the monitored value due
to dilution by air.
