Thank you.

All right, copy that.
05:13
Simply, if her F.O2 is low,
05:17
don't put her on high flow, just do around a nasal cannula if you can.
05:21
Maybe it was like about four to six liters, just you can get it to come up that way first.
05:30
If she doesn't tolerate the nasal cannula, then go ahead and try to do a mask.
05:33
Blow-by is not going to be really effective with this.
05:36
You're going to have to make sure you get direct oxygen on her somehow.
05:42
Okay, we have her on two, on a cannula now, or on a rebreather now.
05:48
She's normally on room air, the family has her on two leaders.
05:53
If you're using a non-re breather, make sure you have it above six.
