2.1m Adult Nasal Oxygen Cannula With soft Curved Prong Applying For Surgical medical

Product description

A Nasal Oxygen Cannula is typically a lightweight, flexible tube made of soft plastic that splits into two prongs at one end which are inserted into the patient's nostrils. The other end of the cannula is connected to an oxygen source, such as an oxygen tank or concentrator. The prongs are designed to sit comfortably in the patient's nostrils to deliver a continuous flow of oxygen to support breathing.

Key Features:

• Comfortable Design: The cannula is designed to be comfortable for the patient, with soft prongs that fit securely in the nostrils without causing discomfort.
• Adjustable Fit: Nasal Oxygen Cannulas often come with adjustable features to ensure a proper and secure fit for different patients.
• Compatibility: They are compatible with various oxygen sources and can deliver different flow rates of oxygen based on the patient's requirements.
• Disposable and Reusable Options: Nasal Oxygen Cannulas are available in both disposable and reusable forms, depending on the intended use and healthcare facility protocols.

Uses:

• Oxygen Therapy: Nasal Oxygen Cannulas are primarily used to provide supplemental oxygen to patients with respiratory conditions such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), pneumonia, or during surgeries.
• Home Care: They are also commonly prescribed for home oxygen therapy to assist patients with chronic respiratory conditions.

Precautions:

• Proper Fit: Ensure the cannula is properly fitted to prevent skin irritation or pressure sores.
• Regular Cleaning: If reusable, Nasal Oxygen Cannulas should be cleaned and maintained according to healthcare guidelines to prevent infections.
• Monitoring: Healthcare professionals should monitor the patient's oxygen saturation levels and adjust the oxygen flow rate as needed.

Risks and Considerations:

• While Nasal Oxygen Cannulas are generally safe and effective, improper use or fit may lead to skin irritation, nasal dryness, or discomfort. It's crucial for healthcare providers to ensure proper training on the use and maintenance of Nasal Oxygen Cannulas.
• Always consult healthcare professionals for guidance on the proper use and care of Nasal Oxygen Cannulas to ensure the safety and well-being of the patient.

FAQ

1.What is oxygen nasal cannula used for?
A nasal cannula is a device that gives you additional oxygen (supplemental oxygen or oxygen therapy) through your nose. It's a thin, flexible tube that goes around your head and into your nose. There are two prongs that go inside your nostrils that deliver the oxygen.
 

2.What is the difference between oxygen and nasal cannula?
Conventional nasal cannula devices can deliver flows of only 1 to 6 L/min, whereas high-flow nasal oxygen therapy delivers flows from 1 L/min to 50 L/min, depending on the device.
 

3.What are the different types of nasal cannulas for oxygen?
There are two types of nasal cannulas: low flow and high flow. The device has two prongs and sits below the nose. The two prongs deliver oxygen directly into your nostrils.
 

4.Is nasal cannula 100% oxygen?
High-flow nasal cannula (HFNC) therapy is an oxygen supply system capable of delivering up to 100% humidified and heated oxygen at a flow rate of up to 60 liters per minute.
 

5.What are the risks of nasal cannula oxygen?
Nasal cannulas are usually very well tolerated, but complications can occur and include drying of mucous membranes, nasal trauma, and epistaxis.
 

6.What are the benefits of a nasal cannula?
Nasal cannulas provide a low level of supplemental oxygen. They are well tolerated and allow the patient to eat and expectorate without having to remove the cannulas. The oxygen flow fills the nasopharyngeal and oropharyngeal reservoirs at end-expiration and is then inspired into the lungs, even when the mouth is open.
 

7.When to use a nasal cannula?
Nasal cannulas are medical devices used when people are unable to get sufficient oxygen to keep their body functioning optimally, whether that's due to a condition like chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), another respiratory disorder, or an environmental change.
 

8.Is nasal cannula oxygen better than high flow?
How does high-flow nasal cannula (HFNC) work? | Medmastery
When high-flow nasal cannula, or HFNC, is used to deliver oxygen, the flow rates are much higher than can be achieved with traditional nasal cannula. This results in a greater delivery of prescribed oxygen into the lungs, and less entrainment of room air.
