Question 90 · LEK · Oxygen therapy

What is the maximal inspiratory oxygen concentration achievable when the bag valve mask (Ambu bag) with the reservoir is used and oxygen flow is about 10L/minute?

  1. A. 45%.
  2. B. 60%.
  3. C. 70%.
  4. D. 85%.
  5. E. 100%.
Hint

A reservoir allows a much higher FiO2 than a bag without one, but mask leaks and valve design still prevent reaching 100%.
