02:25
Thank you.
02:33
All right, copy that.
02:34
Simply, if her F.O2 is low,
02:38
don't put her on high flow, just do around a nasal cannula if you can.
02:42
Maybe it was like about four to six liters, just you can get it to come up that way first.
02:51
If she doesn't tolerate the nasal cannula, then go ahead and try to do a mask.
02:54
Blow-by is not going to be really effective with this.
02:57
You're going to have to make sure you get direct oxygen on her somehow.
03:03
Okay, we have her on two, on a cannula now, or on a rebreather now.
03:09
She's normally on room air, the family has her on two leaders.
03:14
If you're using a non-re breather, make sure you have it above six.
03:18
The NASC isn't going to put out enough.
03:22
Okay, she's on a nasal, she's up to 90% now.
03:28
Perfect, I would name anywhere between 90-95, don't go ahead, don't force anything higher.
03:38
