| About: Nasal cannula oxygen FiO2 estimation |
| Evaluation of oxygenation status requires knowledge of the concentration of inspired oxygen. For patients on nasal cannula O2, this is difficult because the FiO2 from a nasal cannula varies widely . Decisions are best made when the patient is on a known level of FiO2, such as when on face mask O2. However, when this is not feasible, this formula helps get a rough estimate of the FiO2 for a patient on nasal cannula. |
