MEDcalc: Oxygen equivalence: High flow vs Low flow

Your patient is on High Flow oxygen via a gas blender (ie Airvo2). What wall-oxygen rate will deliver the same amount of oxygen to the patient? Oxygen Equivalence Calculator FiO₂: 21% High Flow Rate: 1 L/min Equivalent Wall Oxygen Flow Rate: 0.0 L/min Estimated maximum PEEP deliverable with closed-mouth: 1 L/min: 0.1 cmH2O Sharma S, […]
