2.How to administer optimally?2.How to administer optimally?
3.What are the hazards?3.What are the hazards?
Enrichment of inspired gases with Enrichment of inspired gases with O2 .O2 .
The major reason for O2 therapy is The major reason for O2 therapy is hypoxia.hypoxia.
Hypoxia is defiency of O2 at tissue Hypoxia is defiency of O2 at tissue levels.levels.
Hypoxemia refers to reduced O2 Hypoxemia refers to reduced O2 tension in arterial blood.tension in arterial blood.
TYPES OF HYPOXIATYPES OF HYPOXIA
