nasal cannula
A nasal cannula allows the patient to breathe through the mouth or nose,is available for all age groups,and is adequate for short- or long-term use.Cannulas are inexpensive,disposable,and easily accepted by most patients.The two tips of the cannula,which are about 1.5 cm (½ inch)long,protrude from the center of a disposable tube and are inserted into the nostrils.Oxygen is delivered via the cannula at a flow rate from 1 to 6 L/min.Higher flow rates and a dry airway mucosa do not increase the inspired oxygen concentration.
