Application & Removal
To Apply Cannula
- Connect system to gas source. Place hand close to the nasal prongs to ensure that there is airflow exiting the prongs.
- Remove adhesive backing and place the nasal cannula in the nares ensuring that there is at least a 2 mm (0.08 inches) gap from the base of the prongs to the septum.
- Ensure the cannula size is correct. Prongs should not fill the nares and a clear gap should be visible around each prong.
Checks During Operation
- Check patients septal integrity.
- Ensure that the tubing is not applying excessive pressure to the ears and face.
- Ensure that there are no secretions in the nares that could cause the prongs to seal in the nares.
- Under excessive load, the cannula may disconnect to prevent forces being transferred to the patient. Ensure that all connections are secure during use.
