The nasal cannula is a device used to administer supplemental oxygen to those in need of oxygen therapy. It delivers oxygen through two small prongs that rest in your nostrils and leads to clear plastic tubing that tucks over your ears and meets below your chin.
Which way do nasal cannula prongs go?
Turn the cannula so the prongs are curved downward.
Most cannulae today have curved prongs so they fit more naturally inside the nostrils. Hold the cannula so the prongs are pointing up toward the ceiling and curve down toward you.
How much oxygen can you use with a nasal cannula?
A traditional nasal cannula can only effectively provide only up to 4 to 6 liters per minute of supplemental oxygen. This equates to a FiO2 of approximately 0.37 to 0.45.
