=== "Flush" for non-BiPAPs ===

*I have posted the link below for an article that deals with the relationship between FiO2 and flow rate. It does help to understand this concept but there would have to be a decision made as to how the data collectors should deal with "flush" as this means that the flow is at maximum which is not a precise flow rate~~. I think the task group should perhaps discuss this~~. --[[User:LKolesar|LKolesar]] 07:42, 2017 May 5 (CDT)

*~~At least at HSC, the term~~ "~~flush~~" ~~is also used for rebreath. In that case, it means~~ the ~~oxygen flow meter is set at its maximal flow. What FIO2~~ value ~~should be used for this? {{discussion}} [[User:Ttenbergen|Ttenbergen]] 14:39, 9 April 2010 (CDT) as per Marie Laporte~~

**I spoke to some members of the ~~Transport team (RRTs) who state that once the flow meter~~ is ~~set at a maximal flow above~~ 15L~~/min (flush) it becomes difficult to determine exactly what the approximate FiO2 is~~. ~~Marie~~

*I emailed Dr. Garland about this issue and he suggested for "practicality reasons" we should just use the highest value on the O2 flowmeter which is 15L. This clears up this question.

****If anyone knows the answer to what Fi02 flush is, can they post here or is this ~~still unknown what to use? I see in our program on the apache Fi02 choices we have a 100LNRB which gives 80 percent~~. ~~Is that what we should use?[[User:GHall|GHall]] 11:59, 2016 June 30 (CDT)~~
