In medicine and respiratory therapy, oxygen inhalation therapy is "inhalation of oxygen aimed at restoring toward normal any pathophysiologic alterations of gas exchange in the cardiopulmonary system, as by the use of a respirator, nasal catheter, tent, chamber, or mask. (From Dorland, 27th ed & Stedman, 25th ed)"[1]

The oxygen delivery from a 100% nonrebreathing (reservoir) mask is actually about 68%.[2]
