Sooby Says: In order to assess the effectiveness of ventilation, oxygenation and oxygen delivery, a good respiratory examination is key. inspect for any cyanosis, use of accessory muscles. look at the patient’s observation chart – trends are key. Although a paediatric site, this page includes a lot of key information including the patient assessment.
Sooby Says: a quick simple revision guide to oxygen therapy. A good building block to base future knowledge on.
Sooby Says: you can’t have a section on oxygen delivery without including the BTS oxygen guidelines. Everything you need to know is here including COPD guidelines – such a commonly discussed point. Although it is long, it is fairly easy to read and is definately worth it.
