In other acute situations patients may need a higher concentration of oxygen and a non-rebreathe mask or simple oxygen mask is often used. Flow rates of 1-4 litres per minute are used with nasal cannulas, equating to a concentration of approximately 24-40% oxygen.Flow rates of up to 6 litres can be given but this will often cause nasal dryness and can be uncomfortable for patients (British Thoracic Society, 2008).hey deliver oxygen in a variable manner; this means the amount of oxygen inspired depends on the patientâs breathing rate and pattern.

Federal Tax Refunds. How you file your taxes, via either U.S. mail or electronic filing, dictates how long it normally takes to receive a refund. Filing a return through the mail is, of course, the slower of the two processes. For those who mail their federal return, the IRS will remit a tax refund within six weeks after they have been received the completed return. If you file electronically, you should receive your tax refund within three weeks.
