  • Summary

  • Welcome to the first episode in our third season of the Conversations with Keith and Courtney podcast. This season looks into Oxygen and Carbon Dioxide – from the moment oxygen leaves the cylinder until it gets to the mitochondria, and then how the waste product (carbon dioxide) gets from the tissue to the lungs so it can be exhaled. 

    In this episode, Keith and Courtney discuss methods we use to provide oxygen therapy to our patients before anaesthesia, such as through pre-oxygenation via flow-by or face mask delivery, and what type of oxygen concentration you’re actually reaching! If it leaves the cylinder at 100%, it certainly doesn’t mean that the patient gets that. And they will leave you with some frightening figures in regards to using insufficient fresh gas flows in an oxygen cage... 

    Much of what is discussed in this episode is also in our article “Are you providing effective Oxygen Therapy?” which you can check out here:
