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.

When should an IV cannula be changed out?
An IV cannula should be changed out if there are signs of infection, such as redness, swelling, or discharge at the insertion site. It should also be replaced if there is a change in the patency of the line, such as difficulty flushing or blood return. Additionally, routine changes are often recommended every 72 to 96 hours, depending on the facility's protocol and the type of cannula used. Regular assessment and adherence to best practices are essential to minimize complications.
How would you know if you inserted a CANNULA and hit a valve?
If you insert a cannula and hit a valve, you may notice a sudden resistance while advancing the cannula, and you might feel a "pop" sensation. Additionally, you may observe a change in blood flow or the presence of blood in the cannula, indicating that the cannula has penetrated the valve. In some cases, the cannula may also fail to advance further, suggesting that it is obstructed by the valve.

How often should nasal cannula be changed?
Nasal cannulas should generally be changed every 24 to 48 hours to maintain hygiene and prevent irritation or infection. However, if the cannula becomes visibly soiled, damaged, or if the patient experiences discomfort, it should be replaced immediately. Regular cleaning of the cannula can also help prolong its use between changes. Always follow specific guidelines provided by healthcare professionals for individual patient needs.
