Question:
You’re treating an adult patient who is wearing a non-rebreather. The reservoir bag collapses on inspiration. What action(s) should you take?
A
Make sure the bag is connected to an O2 source and the flow is at least 10 LPM.
explanation
A non-rebreather should be used with an oxygen flow rate high enough to inflate the reservoir bag, which is a minimum of 10 LPM. Switching to a nasal cannula will not deliver the same FIO2. The rate or depth a person inhales does not cause the reservoir bag to collapse.
