Do the prongs of a nasal cannula face up or down in the nostrils?
Wear a cannula so that it causes a minimum of discomfort. The nasal cannula is a small piece of plastic tubing that is attached to a larger tube which, in turn, connects to the oxygen container. The cannula has two small prongs that are inserted into the nostrils. If the prongs are curved, they should point downward inside the nostrils.
Which way does the nasal cannula go in the nose prongs down or up?

How do you insert a nasal canula?
Assuming you're doing this for someone else:1) pull the plastic slide down so that the cannula will definitely be large enough to fit the patient2) hold the cannula with both hands so that the prongs are facing away from you and curving down3) put the prongs into the patient's nostrils4) pull the tubes over and behind both of the patient's ears at the same time5) adjust the plastic slide back up so that the cannula isn't tight enough to bother the patient yet the cannula won't slide off.
