What is the delivery rate of the oxygen flush valve?

The delivery rate of the oxygen flush valve is typically 35 to 75 liters per minute. This high flow rate is essential for rapidly supplying a concentrated volume of oxygen directly to the patient, particularly in situations where immediate oxygenation is necessary. The flush valve enables quick delivery of oxygen bypassing the anesthesia circuit, effectively aiding in the prevention of hypoxia and improving patient safety during anesthetic procedures. This high flow rate is significantly higher than typical flow rates used in basic oxygen therapy or mechanical ventilation, which is why the other answer choices do not accurately reflect the flush valve's capabilities.
