What is the maximum nasal cannula flow rate?
Flow rates of 1-4 litres per minute are used with nasal cannulas, equating to a concentration of approximately 24-40% oxygen. Flow rates of up to 6 litres can be given but this will often cause nasal dryness and can be uncomfortable for patients (British Thoracic Society, 2008).
How many liters of oxygen flow can a nasal cannula deliver?
There are high-flow stationary concentrators that go up to 10 liters/minute. For oxygen settings higher than 6 liters/minute, a high flow nasal cannula is needed. Certain oxygen face masks and reservoir cannulas can boost the delivery of oxygen and make high oxygen flows more comfortable.
