Oxygen Delivery Device - Nasal Cannula

This video is a demonstration of how to use a nasal cannula to deliver oxygen to a patient. A nasal cannula is a medical device to provide supplemental oxygen therapy to people who have lower oxygen levels. The device has two prongs and sits below the nose. The two prongs deliver oxygen directly into your nostrils.
The nasal cannula is a low-flow system that mixes oxygen with room air. The flow rates range from 1 to 6 liters/minute, providing 24% to 44% of inspired oxygen. Rates above 4 liters/minute can dry mucous membranes and cause discomfort and bleeding, so humidification should be added.
