What Is The Difference Between An Oxygen Mask And A Snort?

Mask oxygen inhalation, also known as oral-nose mask oxygen inhalation, is to cover the entire mouth and nose with a mask, which can be used to breathe through both the nose and the mouth. The mouth and nose are in a relatively closed environment, the oxygen concentration is relatively stable, the stimulation effect on the respiratory mucosa is relatively small, and the comfort of oxygen inhalation is higher than that of the nasal cannula, but the mask needs to be removed when eating.

Nasal cannula oxygen inhalation, as the name suggests, is to place the cannula at the nostrils to breathe oxygen through the nose. Changes in the position of the cannula, as well as the structure of the nasal cavity and breathing conditions, can affect the amount of oxygen inhaled. The airflow on the nasal mucosa is also relatively large, and the comfort is not as good as the oxygen inhalation mask.
