Yes, a cannula can be used to deliver oxygen at 10 liters per minute, but this flow rate is typically higher than what most nasal cannulas are designed to handle comfortably. At higher flow rates, patients may experience discomfort or dryness in the nasal passages. It's often more appropriate to use a non-rebreather mask or another oxygen delivery system for high flow rates to ensure adequate oxygenation and patient comfort. Always follow clinical guidelines and consult with a healthcare provider for the best practices in oxygen therapy.

The highest liter flow rate of oxygen that should be administered via nasal cannula is 6 liters per minute. Beyond this flow rate, the cannula may not effectively deliver the intended oxygen concentration to the patient, and a different oxygen delivery system may be more appropriate.
Why would you need to do that anyway? If you need the concentrated O2 that a mask provides, then a nasal cannula is not affective.
It is not recommended to shorten the oxygen cannula prongs as this can affect the delivery of oxygen to the patient. It is important to use the cannula as directed by a healthcare professional to ensure the correct flow of oxygen.
You should wash your cannula with soap and water at least twice a week, and replace it at least once a month. If you are sick with a cold or similar infection, you should replace your cannula immediately after feeling better.
10 Liters is most manufacturer's recommended maximum
A cannula is a tube that can be inserted into the body, often for the delivery or removal of fluid or for the gathering of data. In simple terms, a cannula can surround the inner or outer surfaces of a trocar needle thus extending the effective needle length by at least half the length of the original needle. It is also called as IV cannula Intravenous (IV) cannulation is a technique in which a cannula is placed inside a vein to provide venous access. Venous access allows sampling of blood, as well as administration of fluids, medications, parenteral nutrition, chemotherapy, and blood products. Its size mainly ranges from 14 to 24 gauge. Different sized cannula have different colours on it.
If they use the same electrical connector, yes.
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.

100 liter = 1 liter 10-1 liter = 1 deciliter 10-2 liter = 1 centiliter 10-3 liter = 1 milliliter 10-6 liter =1 microliter
