[Oxygen therapy via Ventimask. Personal cases].
Eleven patients suffering from seriously hypoxaemic chronic respiratory insufficiency with slight hypercapnia have been assessed. A comparison between the results obtained with continuous oxygen therapy carried out with a Ventury mask and that done with the Ventimask was made in the case of each patient. Distribution of O2 with the Ventimask made it possible to obtain higher average pO2 levels than with the Ventury mask.
