THE O2 MASKS

 

(Based on “The Monster Mash” written by Bobby Pickett and Lenny Capizzi)

 

Hello all you kiddies out there in school
Here’s a lecture from your favorite ghoul
As I begin to talk you will plainly see
That there is a variety 

Of 02 masks
Yes of oxygen masks
The 02 masks
It is a daunting task
To learn the facts
About all of the masks
The 02 masks
Yes the oxygen masks 

As I recall my days as a young intern
The simple mask was the easiest to learn
The main point that you always had to know
It has to have at least a six flow 

The simple mask
Yes on the simple mask
There are no flaps
There are no bags or flaps
Sixty’s the max
The FI02 max
For simple masks
For simple 02 masks 

Now that we have learned that one
I think we have some fun
Because I know we can
Get some learning done 

The non re-breather is the next on the list
And I know that you all will get the gist
It features a bag and three valves to assure
That every bit of inspired air’s pure 

The NR mask
The non re-breather mask
The NR mask
High 02 is its task
When people ask
For the valve and bag mask
They get this mask
The non re-breather mask

Partial re-breather is what’s up next
And it is a little less complex
The bag is present the valves are gone
If you want 60 to 80 it’s what you put them on 

The partial mask
Partial re-breather mask
PRB mask
Turn up the flow quite fast
So that the bag
Will just one third collapse
When patient’s gasp
Partial re-breather mask 

The venturi mask is the last to explain
And the purpose of this device is quite plain
It’s to deliver strict FIO2s
And now you know them all so you’re ready to use 

The 02 masks
All the oxygen masks
The 02 masks
You learned them in a flash
It was a blast
Teaching you all the masks
The 02 masks
All the oxygen masks
