Understanding the Oxygen Nasal Cannula

An oxygen nasal cannula is a medical device designed to provide supplemental oxygen or airflow to individuals who require assistance with breathing. Patients may need additional oxygen for various reasons, including during surgical procedures or due to specific respiratory conditions.

Key Features of an Oxygen Nasal Cannula

• Design: The device consists of a plastic tube that fits comfortably behind the ears, featuring two prongs that are inserted into the nostrils.
• Oxygen Delivery: Oxygen flows from these prongs directly into the nostrils.
• Connection: The nasal cannula connects to an oxygen tank, a portable oxygen generator, or a hospital wall outlet through a flowmeter.

Unlike an oxygen mask, a nasal cannula is made of a small, soft plastic tube that splits into two prongs at one end. The prongs fit snugly in or under the nostrils and are secured in place by looping the tube around the ears or using an elastic band. The opposite end of the tube connects to an oxygen source, such as an oxygen concentrator or tank.
