The three main types of oxygen masks are:
1. "simple oxygen masks", which cover the nose and mouth and are used for patients needing moderate oxygen levels;
2. "nasal cannulas", which consist of two small tubes placed in the nostrils and are used for low to moderate oxygen needs;
3. "non-rebreather masks", which have a reservoir bag attached and provide high concentrations of oxygen for more severe cases.
Each type is used based on the patient's specific oxygen requirements.
