Single-use oxygen masks are used to administer oxygen to patients, usually for single use, and there is a risk of infection from repeated use or cross-use.
However, under special circumstances, the repeated use of atomized inhalation therapy should be comprehensively considered, because atomized inhalation therapy is a treatment method that uses the principle of gas jet to suspend the tiny droplets impacted by water droplets in the gas, form aerosol and input into the respiratory tract for respiratory humidification or drug inhalation, as an auxiliary and supplement to the systemic treatment.
At this time, there will be a small amount of liquid medicine and body fluids stuck in the catheter and the wall of the oxygen mask, which is easy to breed bacteria. When the oxygen mask is used again, the bacteria may enter the patient’s lungs and cause adverse reactions. Therefore, after full cleaning and disinfection, can be used again.
However, the design of disposable oxygen mask itself is designed for one-time use, and its tube body and cup material are not designed for multiple uses, so it may not be able to bear the damage caused by multiple uses and cleaning.
Therefore, remind you, as far as possible or do not reuse, more can not cross use, even if occasionally repeated use, also want to do a good job of disinfection and cleaning.
Note that the mask and tube body should be replaced immediately if they are damaged during use
