HFOT Stands for HIGH FLOW OXYGEN THERAPY, a method of providing mixture of oxygen in combination with air to patients for respiratory support.
As the name suggests, there is very high consumption of oxygen and most of the equipment designed for HFOT do not give a direct reading of the oxygen flow or consumption. Some other very simple systems with 2 separate flowmeters for air and oxygen make it difficult to mentally calculate the oxygen % delivered in the mixture.
This makes it somewhat difficult to accurately estimate the oxygen supply requirements leading to undesirable shortages.
When a number of HFOT equipment are running in a hospital, this HFOT Calculator app will help HFOT equipment technicians and hospital administrators with dynamic calculations and help in better management of the HFOT equipment as well as the oxygen supply resources.
