What Is The Role Of The Nasal Oxygen Tube?

The nasal oxygen tube is used to provide supplemental oxygen because of its simplicity and high patient compliance. Ambient air is drawn through the nostrils, and FiO2 depends on the oxygen flow rate (1-6 l/min), the patient's tidal volume, inspiratory flow rate, and nasopharyngeal volume. Oxygen is delivered at an oxygen flow rate of 2 l/min, and the oxygen concentration in the pharynx of a static patient is 25% - 30%. The nasal oxygen tube prevents repeated breathing and is comfortable for long periods of wear. Patients who wear a nasal cannula can talk, eat and drink water to improve treatment compliance. It is recommended to use humidified oxygen to reduce the discomfort and dryness of the mucosal wall of the nasal cavity, especially when the flow rate is higher than 4l/min.

Improve patient comfort

Wearing a soft-touch catheter on the ear and face improves patient comfort and improves the patient experience.

Provide better care at a lower cost

Ear pressure ulcers account for 35% of all pressure ulcers in hospitals due to medical equipment1. Fulikai's soft-touch catheter minimizes stress on this sensitive area, reduces the likelihood of skin damage, and reduces associated costs.
