Fraction of inspiratory O₂ (F<sub>I</sub>O₂) and partial pressure of inspiratory CO₂ (P<sub>I</sub>CO₂) were measured by a sampling tube at the middle pharynx inserted via nose.</p><p><strong>Results: </strong>The EcoLite with a reservoir had a significantly higher F<sub>I</sub>O₂ than the control reservoir mask. However, the P<sub>I</sub>CO₂ was significantly higher in the EcoLite with a reservoir than in the control reservoir mask, especially when the oxygen flow rate was low.</p><p><strong>Conclusion: </strong>The EcoLite with a reservoir provided improved oxygenation and a better fit than the conventional reservoir masks in healthy volunteers. However, the EcoLite with a reservoir might cause higher CO₂ rebreathing at low oxygen flow rates.</p>","PeriodicalId":39560,"journal":{"name":"Kobe Journal of Medical Sciences","volume":"70 2","pages":"E61-E65"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-06-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11216659/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141471404","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
