Oxygen Delivery Devices
Oxygen Delivery Devices ( 5 Questions)
A client with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) requires high levels of positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP). Which oxygen delivery system would be most effective in providing the necessary PEEP?
Non-rebreather mask does not provide positive pressure and is not the appropriate choice for delivering PEEP.
Venturi mask is not designed to provide PEEP.
Continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) mask Explanation: CPAP mask provides positive pressure throughout the respiratory cycle, including expiration, and is effective in delivering the necessary PEEP in clients with ARDS.
Bag-valve-mask device is typically used for manual ventilation and resuscitation, not for delivering continuous positive pressure.
Answer: c. Continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) mask
