To reduce the increasing demand for oxygen, the Health Department will now use non-invasive ventilators instead of high- flow nasal oxygen (HFNO), said Health and Medical Education Minister K. Sudhakar on Tuesday. Speaking to mediapersons after chairing a video conference with District Health Officers (DHOs), district surgeons, deans and directors of medical colleges and super speciality hospitals in all districts, the Minister said that patients with moderate symptoms need about 20-60 litres of oxygen per minute. “So we have to find ways to reduce dependence on oxygen and hence are trying to utilize non-invasive ventilation as an alternative which is more effective. This will reduce the oxygen demand by 80% and all patients in HFNO will be be shifted to ventilator beds,” he said.
