What is the main purpose of using a Non-Rebreather Mask?

The main purpose of using a Non-Rebreather Mask is to ensure a high concentration of oxygen delivery to a patient. This type of mask is specifically designed to deliver oxygen at a flow rate sufficient to fill the mask and create a reservoir bag that holds oxygen. The one-way valves on the mask prevent the patient from inhaling ambient air, enabling them to receive nearly pure oxygen, which is crucial in cases of respiratory distress or emergencies where high levels of oxygen are needed to improve oxygen saturation in the blood.

Utilizing a Non-Rebreather Mask is particularly important in situations such as trauma, severe asthma attacks, or carbon monoxide poisoning, where minimizing the dilution of oxygen intake is vital for the patient's recovery. The other options involve different methods of intervention that do not focus on the primary application of the Non-Rebreather Mask and its ability to provide concentrated oxygen effectively.
