Article Synopsis
- Anesthesiologists typically use both a surgical mask and an oxygen mask when providing oxygen to patients, but this practice lacks scientific support.
- A study involving 42 ICU patients compared different oxygen delivery methods: nasal cannula and oxygen masks placed both under and over a surgical mask.
- Results showed that oxygen masks placed under the surgical mask significantly improved oxygen levels (PaO), suggesting that this method, rather than placing the mask above, should be the recommended practice.
