3 Introduction Learning Objectives Identify when a patient may benefit from emergency oxygen. Demonstrate how to set up and deliver emergency oxygen with a nasal cannula and non-rebreather mask. Demonstrate how to set up a bag mask with oxygen. Understand the risks associated with the storage, handling and use of emergency oxygen. Understand how to safely store and handle oxygen cylinders. Identify advanced equipment that may be used in conjunction with emergency oxygen (optional topic). Key Concepts Every cell in the body needs oxygen (O 2 ) to live. In a medical emergency the body may inspire (inhale) or deliver lower levels of oxygen. Hypoxia (inadequate O 2 ) leads to organ and brain damage. Providing supplemental oxygen during an emergency may delay damage to vital organs. To become certified in the administration of Emergency Oxygen you must: Participate in entire course Complete all practice sessions Pass written exam with minimum score of 80% Pass skills exam Additional training is required for: First Aid skills such as Patient Assessment Use of bag mask and CPR face mask for rescue breathing Use of pulse oximeter, suction devices and airway adjuncts Bloodborne Pathogens awareness training required by OSHA You will learn: Safe and effective administration of emergency oxygen Definition of emergency oxygen When and how to use it Risks associated with oxygen storage, handling and delivery Safe assembly and storage Emergency Oxygen The air we breathe: Not made of 100% oxygen o Oxygen = 0 2 o Made of several different gasses EMS Safety Services, Inc.
4 o 21% oxygen o 78% nitrogen o 1% other elements The body uses only about 5% of oxygen inhaled from atmosphere o 16% oxygen in our exhaled air o Enough to keep someone alive w/ rescue breaths for a short time Oxygen perfusion is when cells receive oxygen-rich blood. Sometimes the victim may be able to breathe but can t perfuse oxygen. Emergency oxygen: o Contains higher concentration of oxygen than the air we breathe o Can increase oxygen concentrations in the lungs o May allow more oxygen to be absorbed (perfused) into the bloodstream o May delay damage to vital organs Respiration and Lung Function (This information is not in the student workbook) Respiration: Exchange of carbon dioxide (CO 2 ), the waste product from breathing, with fresh air from the atmosphere Ventilation: Moving air in and out of the lungs for respiration Alveoli o Where the exchange of O 2 and CO 2 is accomplished o Small air sacs in the lower lobes of right and left lungs o Shaped like miniature broccoli stems o Intertwined with capillaries o Exchange of O 2 and CO 2 occurs through tiny holes along the alveoli and capillary beds Blood Flow for Respiration Deoxygenated blood o Pumped from right ventricle of heart to lungs o Down into alveoli o O 2 /CO 2 exchanged Newly-oxygenated blood Emergency Oxygen o Pumped back to left side of heart o Out to the rest of the body Primary use: o Correct mild - moderate hypoxia (insufficient oxygen to organs and tissues) o Reduce the work of the heart How and when emergency oxygen is used varies between Professional and Citizen Rescuers. Always follow state and local protocols regarding when and how to use emergency oxygen. Use standard or universal precautions to protect yourself from exposure to infectious diseases. Emergency Lecture Guide 3
5 What is Emergency Oxygen? Emergency oxygen is a compressed gas. Classified as a drug Regulated by the FDA 100% pure oxygen stored in a cylinder Categorized as either Medical Oxygen or Emergency Oxygen Rescuers must be trained in use and storage of oxygen Medical vs. Emergency Oxygen Concentrations are same for each o 100% oxygen o Differentiated by how each is used o Oxygen delivery or flow rate is calculated by the number of liters delivered per minute (LPM) Medical Oxygen: o Requires prescription for use o Delivery rate of less than 6 LPM OR o Duration of less than 15 minutes Emergency Oxygen: o Training for rescuers required, prescription not required o At least 6 LPM for 15 minutes or longer o Clearly labeled as emergency oxygen Never Delay Critical Care The use of emergency oxygen should not delay life-saving treatments Calling Applying direct pressure on a bleeding wound Starting chest compressions Only use emergency oxygen after: EMS (9-1-1) has been activated Additional trained rescuers available to use emergency oxygen without interrupting life-saving activities Guidelines for Emergency Oxygen Use Use emergency oxygen to treat breathing difficulty based on: Patient s condition Respiratory rates When to use emergency oxygen: Respiratory rates that are too fast or too slow: o Adult: < 12 or > 20 breaths/min EMS Safety Services, Inc.
6 o Child: < 15 or > 30 breaths /min. o Infant: < 25 or > 50 breaths /min. No breathing Cyanosis (bluish color in skin, lips and fingernail beds) Diving decompression injury Professional rescuers and healthcare providers may also treat signs/symptoms of certain medical conditions. Treat above conditions plus: o Heart attack/suspected ACS o Stroke o Severe asthma o Pulmonary embolism (clot affecting blood supply to lungs) o Shock o Drowning o Pregnancy-related emergency o Exacerbated COPD (lung disease) o Hypothermia Patient Assessment Before using emergency oxygen: Assess patient s effort to breathe. Calculate respirations per minute (RPM). Signs of breathing difficulty: Labored breathing o Using accessory muscles in neck and back o Speaking in broken sentences Noisy breathing o Coughing o Wheezing, stridor (noisy inspiration) Tripod position (sitting up, supported on arms) Cyanosis To calculate a patient s RPM: Use stopwatch, second hand or other timer Watch patient s chest for 15 seconds Multiply number of breaths in 15 sec x 4 o e.g. 5 x 4 = 20 RPM, a normal rate for adults DEMONSTRATE: Patient assessment PRACTICE: Patient assessment Emergency Lecture Guide 5
7 Oxygen Equipment Emergency oxygen is delivered from a cylinder, through a pressure regulator and oxygen tubing, and into a delivery device such as a mask, cannula or bag mask. Oxygen Cylinder: Also known as a tank or bottle Typically green or with green markings Labeled For emergency use only Made of metal, aluminum or composite Highly pressurized Vary in size Each filled up to about 2015 psi Cylinder sizes: o D: 425 liters o Jumbo D:640 liters o E: 680 liters o M: 3,000 liters o G: 5,300 liters o H: 6,900 liters D, Jumbo D, & E cylinders o Small and portable o Secure to gurney, stretcher or cot w/ patient Oxygen Equipment Pressure Regulator: Connects cylinder valve to O 2 tubing Controls rate of flow (measured in LPM) Two types: o Dual flow: high or low o Full Control: 2-25 LPM Gauge displays amount of pressure per sq. inch o 2000 psi = full o 1000 psi = ½ full o 500 psi = time to refill Oxygen Wrench: Opens cylinder valve to begin O 2 flow into regulator O-ring: Gasket creates tight seal between cylinder valve and regulator Over time may require replacement Without it air escapes between cylinder and pressure regulator Replacement o-ring usually comes with newly-filled cylinder EMS Safety Services, Inc.
8 Oxygen Tubing: Connects regulator to O 2 delivery device Comes in different lengths Is pre-connected to delivery devices Delivery Device: Used by the patient to breathe in emergency oxygen Usually a mask that fits over the mouth and nose Connected to the cylinder w/ oxygen tubing Demand Valve: Used by specially-trained professional rescuers Triggered by patient inhaling or by push of button/lever Delivers 100% oxygen at 40 LPM Due to force adults only! Green tube attaches to special outlet on regulator Oxygen Humidifier: Not typically used in emergency settings Supplemental O 2 can dry out mucous membranes of the nose Dryness causes irritation and possible nosebleed Humidifier passes O 2 through sterile water O 2 picks up tiny water molecules, reduces dryness & irritation Pulse Oximeter: Small, portable electronic device Estimates and monitors blood-oxygen saturation level (how much O 2 in blood) Uses an infrared probe Normal level between 95% and 100% Additional training required for use Connecting a Pressure Regulator 1. Inspect valve; ensure that it s dry & clean 2. Slowly open & close valve to expel debris 3. Inspect regulator and o-ring; replace if worn 4. Line up pins on regulator w/ holes on cylinder valve 5. Twist thumbscrew hand tight 6. Turn gauge away from you, open valve 7. Read gauge to determine content 8. Listen for airtight seal Instructor may choose to practice and check skills at the end of the course. DEMONSTRATE: Connect a pressure regulator PRACTICE: Connect a pressure regulator SKILL CHECK: Connect a pressure regulator Emergency Lecture Guide 7
9 Oxygen Delivery Devices Key Concepts: The delivery device is connected to oxygen tubing, then attached to the nipple of the pressure regulator. There are four basic types of delivery device: o Non-rebreather mask o Nasal cannula o Bag mask o CPR face mask w/ oxygen inlet The non-rebreather and nasal cannula are for victims who are breathing on their own. Different sizes of delivery devices are available for adult, child and infant patients. Non-Rebreather Mask The preferred emergency oxygen delivery device High-flow device Consists of mask, O 2 reservoir and tubing Delivers oxygen concentrations between 90%-100% with each breath Use 15 LPM Using a non-rebreather mask: 1. Connect tubing to regulator. 2. Adjust flow rate to 15 LPM. 3. Listen for flow of O Briefly cover one-way valve inside mask to speed up filling reservoir. 5. Place over the patient s mouth and nose. 6. Instruct patient to breathe as normally as possible. Tolerating a non-rebreather mask: Completely covers the mouth & nose, which can make it intolerable for some. May complain that flow of O 2 is restricted, even though they are getting more than 90% O 2. Ensure flow rate is at least 15 LPM, O 2 is flowing and the reservoir is inflated. Rescuers may have to coach a patient: o Help get used to mask o Reassure they are getting more oxygen than normal Instructor may choose to practice and check skills at the end of the course. DEMONSTRATE: Prepare/use non-rebreather mask PRACTICE: Prepare/use non-rebreather mask SKILL CHECK: Prepare/use non-rebreather mask EMS Safety Services, Inc.
10 Nasal Cannula A low-flow device Provides between 2-6 LPM Max concentration delivered: 44% O 2 Consists of loop of oxygen tubing, two prongs for the nostrils and an adjusting band Using a nasal cannula: 1. Connect tubing to regulator. 2. Adjust flow rate: 6 LPM. 3. Listen for flow of O Open cannula loop. 5. Holding loop w/ thumb and forefinger, insert prongs into nose. 6. Wrap each side around patient s ears. 7. Slide adjusting band up. 8. Instruct the patient to breathe in through nose. Instructor may choose to practice and check skills at the end of the course. DEMONSTRATE: Prepare/use nasal cannula PRACTICE: Prepare/use nasal cannula SKILL CHECK: Prepare/use nasal cannula Bag Mask Emergency Lecture Guide Oxygen Delivery Devices Also known as Bag Valve Mask or BVM Used for rescue breathing/cpr Uses positive pressure to push air into the lungs w/ each squeeze of the bag Delivers nearly 100% oxygen May reduce exposure to pathogens Requires additional training to be used effectively Using a Bag Mask May be used with or without oxygen Science does not support or refute the use of oxygen during resuscitation. Risks related to over-exposure to oxygen are low; it is reasonable to use oxygen during resuscitation. Never delay resuscitation efforts in order to use emergency oxygen. Emergency O 2 does not change how rescue breaths are delivered with a bag mask. Components of a Bag Mask Rigid face mask Self-inflating bag 9
11 Oxygen reservoir Oxygen tubing Using a Bag Mask with Oxygen: 1. Follow guidelines for CPR/AED & activating EMS 2. Assemble mask, bag and tubing 3. Connect tubing to oxygen source 4. O 2 flow of 15 LPM 5. Use bag mask to give rescue breaths 6. Reservoir does not need to inflate CPR Face Mask Used for rescue breathing Increases oxygen delivery w/ mouth-to-mask rescue breaths Can deliver up to 55% oxygen Available in adult, child, infant sizes Seal tightly to the face to give breaths Using a CPR Face Mask with Oxygen: 1. Follow guidelines for CPR/AED & activating EMS 2. Assemble mask 3. Insert tubing into oxygen inlet on mask 4. Connect tubing to oxygen source 5. O 2 flow of 15 LPM 6. Press mask firmly to the face and open airway 7. Breathe into mask and watch for chest rise Bag Mask and CPR Face Mask can: Be used for resuscitation or Provide emergency oxygen to a conscious or semi-conscious victim who is breathing abnormally Bag Mask for Conscious Victim Flow rate of 15 LPM Have victim hold to his/her face if able Assist abnormal rates as needed: o Less than 10 RPM: Squeeze bag between each breath o Greater than 30 RPM: Squeeze bag every second breath Face Mask for Conscious Victim Flow rate of 6-15 LPM Have patient hold mask to his/her face Selecting a Delivery Device Regulator type impacts delivery device Full control regulator: 2-25 LPM o Any type mask acceptable EMS Safety Services, Inc.
12 o Dial in proper LPM according to device Dual flow: high or low o Low-flow setting Nasal cannula CPR face mask (patient is breathing) o High-flow setting Non-rebreather mask Bag mask CPR face mask (breathing or non-breathing patient) Blow By Oxygen Delivery For infants and small children who can t tolerate a mask or cannula Use an oxygen mask and a high flow rate (at least 15 LPM) Keep mask about 2 inches from patient s face Wave mask slowly from side-to-side Allows oxygen to pass over patient s mouth and nose, and be inhaled Instructor may choose to practice and check skills at the end of the course. DEMONSTRATE: Prepare bag mask PRACTICE: Prepare bag mask SKILL CHECK: Prepare bag mask Monitoring Oxygen Delivery Guidelines for the Delivery of Emergency O 2 : Monitor delivery Understand the use of oxygen in resuscitation Train emergency responders Follow federal, state and local regulations Risks of Oxygen Delivery Potential risks related to oxygen delivery: Oxygen Toxicity Retinopathy of Prematurity Denitrogenation COPD and the Hypoxic Drive Oxygen Toxicity Occurs when there is too much oxygen in the blood Caused by prolonged exposure to high concentrations of oxygen Usually after 24 hours or more Emergency Lecture Guide 11
13 Emergency oxygen is usually not administered long enough to cause oxygen toxicity Signs/symptoms: change in vision, ringing in ears, twitching, irritability, dizziness, seizure Retinopathy of Prematurity Occurs only in premature infants The retinas are immature before 34 weeks gestation, and can be damaged by high concentrations of oxygen Not typically a problem with normal use of emergency oxygen Denitrogenation Also known as Absorption Atelectasis Occurs when naturally-occurring nitrogen in the lungs is replaced with oxygen from over-saturation Oxygen shares alveolar space with nitrogen If the nitrogen is washed out by too much O 2, the alveoli collapse Can severely impair lung function (atelectasis) Not typically a problem with short-term emergency oxygen use COPD and Hypoxic Drive Hypoxic drive is condition associated w/ COPD o Normally, body stimulated to breathe when too much carbon dioxide is detected o COPD patients stimulated to breathe by lower O 2 levels and to not breathe with higher O 2 levels o Concern that emergency oxygen can eliminate the hypoxic drive of a COPD patient, causing person to stop breathing Give emergency O 2 if indicated, even if history of COPD o Difficulty breathing may be related to a condition other than COPD Hypoxic drive is rare; do not withhold emergency O 2 Monitor Oxygen Delivery Emergency O 2 delivery should be based on target saturation levels, not fixed flow rates. Using oxygen to treat breathlessness rather than low oxygen saturation has not been shown to help feeling of breathlessness. Pulse oximetry is recommended to monitor blood-oxygen levels. When a pulse oximeter is available, titrate oxygen delivery to the lowest effective level. To use a pulse oximeter: Turn on, connect probe to finger, earlobe or foot/toe Register oxygen saturation level (SpO 2 ) and pulse rate Verify pulse rate on monitor w/ patient s actual pulse Monitor and record SpO 2 Follow protocols to titrate based on target O 2 levels o Typically 94% to 99% A pulse oximeter is less effective when: No breathing/heart beat Poor perfusion: shock, low blood pressure Fingernail polish present EMS Safety Services, Inc.
14 Excessive patient motion Hypothermia Carbon monoxide poisoning/some smokers History of sickle cell disease or anemia Swelling of monitored extremity Emergency Oxygen and Resuscitation Science is inconclusive about the use of emergency oxygen during resuscitation Studies show emergency oxygen during resuscitation: o Increases amount of oxygen in the blood o Has little risk of complications Do not delay resuscitation efforts in order to use emergency oxygen. After a return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC): o Titrate delivery to limit the risk of oxygen toxicity o Maintain an SpO 2 of 94%-99% Training for Emergency Oxygen Use The Organization s medical authority should review and approve use and training methods before equipping staff. At least 1 staff member trained in use of emergency oxygen should be present at all times during business hours. Training should be certification level from a nationally-recognized organization. Training should incorporate any local guidelines that may differ from this training. Oxygen Safety Key Concepts Oxygen is very reactive and can create a dangerous situation by making items more flammable. When the oxygen level is increased, it is easier to start a fire and very difficult to put it out. Take precautions when: o Using emergency oxygen w/ defibrillator o Storing and handling cylinders Using Oxygen with a Defibrillator 100% oxygen is combustible Good chest-to-pad contact o Eliminates oxygen pockets between pad and skin o Reduces risk for AED use w/ oxygen Move mask at least 3 feet from victim before shocking Loudly state Oxygen clear Only shock when rescuers and oxygen are clear Emergency Lecture Guide 13
15 Storage, Handling & Maintenance Cylinder Storage Store cylinders: o Upright o Secured to prevent falling Avoid storing different types of compressed gasses in the same area. Store in a well-ventilated area. Do not expose cylinders to temperatures greater than 125 o F, allow prolonged exposure to direct sunlight, or exposure to other heat sources (e.g. radiator, space heater). Cylinder Maintenance Regularly inspect equipment and document inspections according to national and local guidelines and manufacturer specifications. Ensure labels and signs are in compliance w/ federal OSHA, state and local regulations. Do not use a cylinder that appears damaged. Keep oxygen equipment clean. Dirt and debris can be a fire hazard. Use a pressure gauge to check contents; do not rely solely on a tagging system (Full, In-Use, Empty). Cylinder Handling Do not slide, drag or roll cylinders. Do not use oil or grease on oxygen equipment. When on scene, lay the oxygen cylinder on the floor so it does not get knocked over accidentally. If transporting the cylinder with the patient, secure it to the cot, stretcher or gurney so that it does not slip or get knocked off. Oxygen is Combustible 100% oxygen is highly reactive, and can cause other materials to catch on fire. Keep away from heat sources and flammable items. Avoid alcohol, aerosol sprays, solvents, perfumes and petroleum products. Never combine oxygen with an ignition source (e.g. cigarette). Sum It Up Never delay critical care to provide emergency oxygen. Follow federal, state and local protocols. Only provide oxygen when indicated by patient assessment. At the earliest opportunity, titrate oxygen LPM and delivery device to the lowest level possible to maintain SpO %. Optional Topics: Advanced Equipment Optional topics may have already been discussed during a CPR/AED for Professional Rescuers certification course. Learning Objective Identify equipment associated w/ the use of emergency oxygen and airway management EMS Safety Services, Inc.
16 Key Concepts It s important to be familiar w/ the equipment that may be used by all levels of rescuers Oxygen delivery may be associated with: o Advanced airway adjuncts o Suction devices Suction Devices Remove blood, secretions or vomit from the airway Manual, battery operated (portable) and bedside Tip (catheter) may be rigid or flexible Using a Suction Device: 1. Measure distance from corner of mouth to ear lobe (max. distance for suction tip to be inserted). 2. Remove CPR barrier or bag while suctioning. Airway Adjuncts Used for patient in severe distress o Unresponsive or semiconscious o Rescue breathing o Cardiac arrest Establish and maintain an open airway Simple airways: can be used w/ no change to CPR sequence. Oral Airway Most commonly used Keeps tongue off back of airway For unresponsive victim w/o gag reflex Choose correct size o Measure from front teeth to angle of jaw (or earlobe) o Too large can block airway Place along roof of mouth and rotate into position The end rests on the lips Nasal Airway For semiconscious victim w/ gag reflex Tolerated more easily than oral airway o Does not control airway as well as oral airway Measure distance from base of nose to base of ear Do not use if: o Severe facial trauma o Suspected basilar skull fracture Emergency Lecture Guide 15
17 Advanced Airways Inserted by ALS -trained personnel Blocks the esophagus Keeps vomit out of airway and airway open Types: Endotracheal (ET) tube Laryngeal mask airway (LMA) Combitube Supraglottic airway Require change in delivery of compressions & ventilations. Do not perform cycles of compressions and ventilations o 100 compressions per minute w/o pausing o 1 breath every 6-8 seconds o Give compressions and breaths independent of each EMS Safety Services, Inc.
