  2. Oxygen tent - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oxygen_tent

    An oxygen tent consists of a canopy placed over the head and shoulders, or over the entire body of a patient to provide oxygen at a higher level than normal. Some devices cover only a part of the face. Oxygen tents are sometimes confused with altitude tents as used by athletes and those looking to acclimatize to a higher altitude, but those ...

  4. High altitude breathing apparatus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High_altitude_breathing...

    There are different aviation oxygen systems and delivery methods available depending on the specific application. The oxygen source may be chemical oxygen generators, high pressure portable gaseous oxygen storage systems (gas cylinders), on-board oxygen generating systems (oxygen concentrators), or liquid oxygen systems. [4]

    Oxygen masks may cover only the nose and mouth (oral-nasal mask) or the entire face (full-face mask). oxygen tent An oxygen tent is a delivery method for supplemental oxygen. It consists of a canopy placed over the whole body or part of the body including the nose and mouth, into which an oxygen enriched gas supply is introduced, at a rate ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Resuscitator

    A resuscitator is a device using positive pressure to inflate the lungs of an unconscious person who is not breathing, in order to keep them oxygenated and alive. [citation needed] There are three basic types: a manual version (also known as a bag valve mask) consisting of a mask and a large hand-squeezed plastic bulb using ambient air, or with supplemental oxygen from a high-pressure tank.

  7. Work of breathing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Work_of_breathing

    The normal relaxed state of the lung and chest is partially empty. Further exhalation requires muscular work. Inhalation is an active process requiring work. [4] Some of this work is to overcome frictional resistance to flow, and part is used to deform elastic tissues, and is stored as potential energy, which is recovered during the passive process of exhalation, Tidal breathing is breathing ...

  8. Non-rebreather mask - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Non-rebreather_mask

    A non-rebreather mask (NRB, non-rebreather, non-rebreather facemask, etc.) is a device used in medicine to assist in the delivery of oxygen therapy. A NRB requires that the patient can breathe unassisted, but unlike a low-flow nasal cannula, the NRB allows for the delivery of higher concentrations of oxygen. An ideal non-rebreather mask does ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bag_valve_mask

    Bag valve mask. Part 1 is the flexible mask to seal over the patients face, part 2 has a filter and valve to prevent backflow into the bag (prevents patient deprivation and bag contamination) and part 3 is the soft bag element which is squeezed to expel air to the patient
