The theoretical performance of the Hudson Multivent mask is considered. A method is described of determining the flow-weighted mean inspired oxygen concentration produced by the mask. Using this method, it was found that the inspired oxygen concentration was predictable only at the 24% setting using the recommended flow rates, but that increasing the supplied-oxygen flow rates above the recommended levels resulted in the return of predictable function. At settings above 30% predictable function was found to be unlikely, whatever the supplied oxygen flow rate. Recommendations are made regarding the use of this device.
