  Oxygen mask - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Oxygen masks are made of plastic silicon and rubber.
Silicon and rubber oxygen masks designed to provide a tight seal without leakage are used by aviators, medical researchers, and hyperbaric chamber or other patients that require administration of 100% oxygen.
Oxygen breathing is hazardous in areas where fires may be burning, SCBA units are normally filled with compressed breathing air rather then oxygen.

 Oxygen therapy - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Oxygen therapy is the administration of oxygen as a therapeutic modality.
Oxygen therapy benefits the patient by increasing the supply of oxygen to the lungs and thereby increasing the availability of oxygen to the body tissues.
Oxygen is also used regularly as home therapy to abort cluster headache attacks, due to its vasoconstrictive effects.

 Discovery Health :: Diseases & Conditions :: oxygen therapy
Oxygen therapy is a medical treatment that provides extra oxygen to the tissues of the body through the lungs, a process known as respiration.
Oxygen is a colorless, odorless, tasteless gas that is essential for the body to function properly.
The oxygen is delivered to the person from the oxygen tank or concentrator through tubing attached to a mask, a tent, or a nasal cannula.

 Oxygen-Partial-Pressure Sensor for Aircraft Oxygen Mask
The device is installed in the crewmember's oxygen mask and is powered via communication wiring already present in all such oxygen masks.
When the sensed partial pressure of oxygen falls below the minimum acceptable level, the output of the comparator goes from the "low" state (a few millivolts) to the "high" state (near the supply potential, which is typically 6.8 V for microphone power).
The sensation of the mask vibrating against the crewmember's nose is very effective at alerting the crewmember, who may already be groggy from hypoxia and is immersed in an environment that is saturated with visual cues and sounds.

 Diver's Guide To Oxygen Therapy Equipment
Oxygen is often used in traumatic injuries to treat shock-associated hypoxia (lack of oxygen in the body tissues due to a decrease in blood circulation) or to supplement the breathing of those with chronic lung disease.
The final concentration of oxygen delivered will be affected by the actual flow rate, the quality of the seal of the mask around the patient's mouth and nose, and the patient's rate and depth of breathing.
The bag is separated from the mask by a one-way valve that prevents air and patient exhalation from diluting the oxygen in the reservoir bag.

As we don't carry super-small oxygen masks and a paediatric resuscitator may be a little over the top, holding the oxygen tube near (not in!) the infant's airway may be useful.
This is the mask with the bag underneath it and the two rubber valves on the side.
They may prevent a mask being applied, but until removal of the helmet can be arranged, it is possible to pull the mask off the end of the oxygen tubing and poke oxygen directly into the interior of the helmet.

Three basic styles of oxygen mask are available, the simple mask, the non-rebreathing mask, and the venturi mask.
The non-rebreathing mask uses flutter valves on each side to prevent entrainment of room air, and uses a reservoir bag to hold a supply of 100% oxygen.
The venturi mask is similar to the basic mask, but allows relatively fixed concentrations of supplemental oxygen in concentrations ranging from 24% to 40%.

 Oxygen Therapy For Diving Accidents: At Atmospheric and Hyperbaric Pressure
Oxygen is also the most widely prescribed "drug" in hospitals; about a quarter of all patients entering an acute care hospital will receive inhaled oxygen at some point in their stay.
The actual percentage of oxygen delivered is determined by the type of appliance used to bring the pure oxygen from the wall source to the patient's face, e.g., nasal prongs or various types of face mask.
Oxygen pressure directly reflects the pressure of inhaled oxygen, and is due solely to the unbound (dissolved) fraction of oxygen in the blood; it is the same value regardless of the hemoglobin content.

 Sales of canned oxygen to create fresh market for Seven-Eleven Japan - RapidNewsWire.com
Oxygen has emerged as a popular new product and sparked the creation of city "oxygen bars" that provide oxygen for customers to breathe in.
The idea behind the product is to allow buyers to replenish their oxygen levels anytime they feel a lack of it due to stress, fatigue, or other factors.
Normal air contains only about 21 percent oxygen, but the oxygen concentration in the cans is 95 percent, and breathing it in can reportedly bring on a feeling of invigoration.

The mask is pretty heavy; it's fairly thick rubber, and where it lies against your face, it's lined with a chamois leather to make it more comfortable.
Your oxygen cylinder, which weighs five to seven pounds, is continuously filling the bladder so when you breath out, the valve of the bladder closes, and you breath out through the big snout.

 Oxygen mask definition - Medical Dictionary definitions of popular medical terms
Oxygen can also be delivered directly through a nasal catheter, a tube that divides into two smaller tubes that go into the nostrils.
Oxygen is a colorless, odorless and tasteless gas that makes up about 20 percent of the air we breathe (and at least half the weight of the entire solid crust of the earth) and which combines with most of the other elements to form oxides.
Oxygen was discovered in 1774 by the British scientist Joseph Priestly but he did not name it "oxygen." He called it dephlogisticated air.

 The Hindu : National : Oxygen mask prototype for LCA pilots developed
With an increase in altitude, the partial pressure of oxygen (the component of total air pressure that oxygen is responsible for) falls along with the total pressure.
The mask is part of an integrated system with an automatic `oxygen diluter demand regulator' that ensures that the correct concentration of oxygen is supplied based on the pressure in the aircraft and the altitude.
"By modifying the hose through which the oxygen is supplied, and the harness mechanism which attaches the mask to a helmet, the mask can be used as part of the life support system for paratroopers as well," he added.

 26. : Custom oxygen mask construction using computer assisted design and manufacturing (CAD/CAM) technologies
A preliminary study revealed that custom mask design based upon static facial surface scans is not optimum and requires modification to provide a seal during the dynamic conditions of flight.
The custom seal portion of the mask face piece (i.e., the mask-face contact surface) is then merged with a standard mask design to form the custom mask computer model.
This CAD model is used to build a mask hard-shell and a four-piece mold for the mask face piece (soft shell) by means of a rapid prototyping system called Fused Deposition Modeling.

 AARC Guideline: Neonatal and Pediatric O2 Delivery   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
2.2.1 Simple oxygen masks are plastic reservoirs designed to fit over the patient's nose and mouth and be secured around the patient's head by an elastic strap.(10) An increased reservoir effect is produced by adding the volume of the mask.(1) Oxygen is delivered through a small-bore tube connected to the base of the mask.
The velocity increases causing a shearing effect distal to the jet orifice, which causes room air to be entrained into the mask.(12) The total flow provided by the mask is determined by the cross-sectional area of the entrainment ports, the diameter of the jet orifice, and the oxygen flow to the jet.
Oxygen delivery devices are used in a number of settings including hospitals, clinics, extended care facilities, the home, and patient transport vehicles.
