Similarly, you may ask, what is a oxygen tube?
The nasal cannula (NC) is a device used to deliver supplemental oxygen or increased airflow to a patient or person in need of respiratory help. This device consists of a lightweight tube which on one end splits into two prongs which are placed in the nostrils and from which a mixture of air and oxygen flows.
Beside above, how do you clean a Transtracheal catheter? Wash the cleaning rod with antibacterial soap. Rinse it under running water to completely remove all soap residue. Squirt about 1-2ml of sterile saline into the catheter, ½ of a plastic “bullet,” or two very quick squirts of the TTS saline canister. The squirt of saline may cause coughing.
