If you suffer from asthma or other respiratory conditions, you know how important it is to keep your lungs as healthy as possible. One way to do this is by using nasal oxygen cannulas - soft tips specifically designed for people with respiratory problems.

If you suffer from asthma or other respiratory conditions, you know how important it is to keep your lungs as healthy as possible. One way to do this is by using nasal oxygen cannulas - soft tips specifically designed for people with respiratory problems.
A nasal oxygen cannula is a device that helps deliver supplemental oxygen to people with respiratory problems. It's also known as a soft tip cannula, because it has a soft, flexible end that's inserted through the nose and into the nasopharynx (the area behind the nose).
The nasal oxygen cannula is most used in people who have difficulty breathing from their noses and are unable to use a facemask or other devices. It can be used in combination with other respiratory treatments, such as ventilation therapy and mechanical ventilation.
Some people use a nasal oxygen cannula instead of an endotracheal tube (a long, thin tube inserted through the nose and down into the lungs) when they need mechanical ventilation for a long period of time. The endotracheal tube can be difficult to remove, and it may be difficult for people with head or neck injuries to breathe with it in place.
Nasal oxygen cannulas come in a variety of shapes and sizes to fit different needs. Here are the three most common types: hard, semi-hard, and soft tip.
Hard nasal oxygen cannulas are the traditional type that are often used in hospitals. They have a firm, solid feel and a wide opening at the end of the tube that helps you take in a lot of oxygen. Hard nasal oxygen cannulas are often not comfortable to wear for long periods of time, so they are best suited for short-term use cases such as during surgery.
Semi-hard nasal oxygen cannulas have a softer feel and a narrower opening at the end of the tube. They're typically more comfortable to wear than hard nasal oxygen cannulas, but they don't deliver as much oxygen. They're best suited for cases where you need to stay asleep for an extended period or for people who have trouble breathing through their nose because of allergies or other health conditions.
Soft tip nasal oxygen cannulas are the most popular type because they're both comfortable and effective. They have a rounder shape that is less intrusive than hard or semi-hard nasal oxygen cannulas.
1) Clean the cannula and tip with soap and water.
2) Make an "L" shape with your thumb and first 2 fingers. This will help guide the cannula into your nose.
3) Push the cannula all the way into your nares (the little openings in your nose). Make sure it's flush against your skin.
4) Keep your chin lifted slightly so that the air pressure in your lungs pushes the cannula all the way down into your throat.
5) Keep your mouth closed and breathe through your nose.
Nasal oxygen cannula come in both soft and hard tips. The soft tip is more comfortable, but the hard tip is more effective.
The soft tip is more comfortable because it has a softer, round end that fits more comfortably into the nose. It also has a smaller diameter, which helps to reduce air resistance when breathing through the device. The downside of the soft tip is that it may not be as effective at delivering oxygen to the lungs. The hard tip is more effective because it has a harder, rectangular end that fits more securely into the nose. It also has a larger diameter, which helps to increase air flow when breathing through the device. The downside of the hard tip is that it can be harder to breathe through, and it can be uncomfortable if it falls out of the nose.
The Soft Tip Nasal Oxygen Cannula comes with two tips, one of which is designed for more precise administration of oxygen and the other for a bulkier flow. Plus, it has a soft tip that makes it easy to insert into your nostril.
