What is a Nasal Cannula and when to use it?
A nasal cannula is a medical device to provide supplemental oxygen therapy to people who have lower oxygen levels. There are two types of nasal cannula: low flow and high flow. The device has two prongs and sits below the nose. The two prongs deliver oxygen directly into your nostrils. Your doctor may recommend a nasal cannula if you are having trouble breathing or if you do not have enough oxygen in your blood. A nasal cannula is used in cases of respiratory failure, heart failure, collapsed lung, intubation, estuation, pneumonia, sleep apnea, COPD or having general difficulty in breathing. While nasal cannula are used to provide supplemental oxygen in ICUs and hospital wards, people with certain conditions like COPD or pulmonary fibrosis may use one at home. While setting up your home oxygen supply, make sure you understand any maintenance requirements. There are a number of various devices which can be used for this. Also, fire safety is very important when using supplemental oxygen at home. It is vital to keep oxygen equipments away from open flames. Oxygen is highly flammable and could cause a fire to spread faster than usual.

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.
