Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Adult non-rebreather masks typically operate with a standard oxygen flow rate capacity of 10 to 15 liters per minute to maintain reservoir bag inflation and ensure high fraction of inspired oxygen delivery.

The analysis

The retrieved papers include clinical studies and audits referencing non-rebreather mask usage and associated flow rates. Although the papers do not centrally debate the exact standard flow capacity, standard medical literature and the context of the citations (such as flow rate audits and FiO2 calculations utilizing 10-15 L/min settings) support the claim.
