How to use an oxygen mask?

An oxygen mask is a device that transfers oxygen from a storage tank to the human lungs. The oxygen mask can wrap the nose and mouth (oral-nasal mask) or the entire face (full-face mask). It plays an important role in ensuring human health and protecting the safety of pilots and air passengers. Next, let's take a look at how to use the oxygen mask.

How to use medical oxygen mask?

(1) Prepare the necessary items for the oxygen mask, carefully check the bed number and name, wash your face and wash your hands before the operation, wear a mask, and clean your clothing to prevent wearing items fall off.

(2) Install the oxygen meter after the inspection, and test whether it is unobstructed at the same time. Install the oxygen core, install the humidification bottle, and check whether these devices are stable and in good working condition.

(3) Check the date of the oxygen inhalation tube to see if it is within the warranty period. Check for signs of air leaks and ensure that the oxygen suction tube is in good working condition. Connect the oxygen suction tube to the humidification bottle, make sure the connection is firm, and turn on the switch to adjust the oxygen flow.

(4) Check the oxygen tube again to test whether it is open and leak-free. Check whether there is moisture at the end of the oxygen tube, and wipe it dry in time if there are any water droplets.

(5) Connect the oxygen tube and the head mask, and ensure that the connection is intact to ensure that there will be no problems in the working state. After checking, put on the oxygen mask. Wearing a mask should adjust the tightness and the comfort of the nose clip.

(6) After putting on the oxygen mask, record the time and flow of oxygen inhalation in time, patrol back and forth carefully and carefully to observe the state of oxygen inhalation and whether there is any abnormal performance.

(7) After the oxygen use time reaches the standard, stop the oxygen in time, remove the oxygen mask, turn off the flow meter in time, and record the time when the oxygen use is stopped.

(1) After the oxygen mask falls off, pull down the mask forcefully. There is a tie rope between the mask and the oxygen generator. Pulling this rope can trigger the oxygen. Be careful not to use too much force to avoid breaking the tie rope and the catheter.

(2) Put the oxygen mask on the nose and mouth to breathe normally. Generally, when the oxygen mask is released, there will be graphics and text instructions on how to use it on the release board. Passengers should follow the instructions to operate correctly.
