Patient (pt) w/ covid was being treated w/ high flow o2 via nc (nasal cannula) at 40l, while she also had the non-rebreather mask on at 100%.The pt was confused and frequently pulling on the bag connected to the non-rebreather mask.The pt¿s daughter brought to staff¿s attention that bag had become separated from mask.The bag is connected to the mask w/ tape that is applied by the manufacturer.The icu nurse manager stated that sometimes the tape is not applied evenly on the mask and bag.He was not sure if that was the case in this event.
