Venturi mask
A Venturi mask is a medical device used to deliver a specific amount of oxygen to patients who need respiratory support. It consists of a face mask connected to an oxygen source, with a colored adapter that controls the airflow and mixes it with room air. This allows healthcare providers to accurately adjust the concentration of oxygen a patient receives, ensuring they get the right amount for their condition. It's particularly useful in emergencies or for patients with certain respiratory issues, as it helps improve breathing without the need for more invasive treatments.
