oxygen delivery system

    0.02 sec.
oxygen delivery system,
a device that delivers oxygen through the upper airways to the lungs at concentrations above that of ambient air. There are two general types: the high flow oxygen delivery system, which can supply all of the needs of a patient for inspired gas at a given fractional inspired oxygen, and the low flow oxygen delivery system, which cannot supply all of the patient's needs for oxygen and delivers fractional inspired oxygen that varies with ventilatory demand.
