Can a nasal cannula be used for supplemental oxygen?

Oxygen can be administered through a nasal cannula at a flow rate of up to 6 liters per minute. Higher flow rates are more likely to cause nasal dryness, mucosal injury, and epistaxis. Like a nasal cannula, a simple face mask can be used to administer supplemental oxygen in a patient who is breathing spontaneously.

What are the different oxygen delivery devices?

An overview of oxygen delivery devices including nasal cannulae, simple face masks, venturi masks and humidified oxygen.

How does a nasal cannula work?

When oxygen is delivered through a nasal cannula, inspired ambient air mixes with the oxygen in varying proportions. In general, the fraction of inspired oxygen (F io2) that is above the normal atmospheric level increases by approximately 4% for every additional liter of oxygen administered per minute.

Can a blender deliver oxygen via a nasal cannula?

The blender allows delivery of controlled, lower FiO2 (e.g. 0.25 – 0.4), and the higher flows may provide some positive pressure (0-3 cmH20). Consider the following sizes and ranges for oxygen delivery via nasal cannula in neonates and pediatrics:

What is a nasal cannula?

Nasal cannula (aka nasal prongs), is one of the most commonly encountered oxygen delivery devices worldwide and the preferred method for delivering oxygen to infants and children under 5 years of age with hypoxemia, according to the WHO. A nasal cannula consists of plastic tubes that end in two short tapered prongs that are placed in the nostrils.

Do oral appliances reduce pharyngeal pressure swings in obstructive sleep apnea?

Study Objectives: High nasal resistance is associated with oral appliance treatment failure in obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). A novel oral appliance with a built-in oral airwayhas been shown to reduce pharyngeal pressure swings during sleep and may be efficacious in those with high nasal resistance.
