Thanks for the replies. What flow rate do you guys usually start at?

I need some clarification on how the NRB works and how flow rates affect oxygen delivered. As I understand it right now the correct flow rate is that of which keeps the bag inflated (10-15 LPM). So say you are providing o2 at 10 LPM and the bag is remaining full. Would increasing the flow...

Thanks for the replies. Thinking about it now if a patient is ventilating and oxygenating appropriately they probably don't need an opa. A NPA and recovery position would probably do just fine.

Quick question. Would it be appropriate to use a OPA on an unresponsive patient but not place them on any supplemental oxygen if they were breathing adequately and had good sats? What are your guys thoughts?
