Infants on oxygen environment compared with nasal cannula had a lower proportion of time with oxygen saturations <85% (.05 ± .03 vs .06 ± .03, P < .001), and a lower coefficient of variation of oxygen saturation (P = .02). Conclusions: In preterm infants receiving supplemental ...
In this case report, we present a patient who used a nasal cannula for oxygen supplementation and suffered deep, second-degree burns to his nose and left leg when an electrical spark shot out of the cable's connection socket while the cellular phone was ringing and the cable was, simultaneou...
Continuous Pulse Oximetry Use in Patients With Bronchiolitis Not Receiving Any Supplemental Oxygen or Nasal Cannula Flow View LargeDownload Patients were aged 8 weeks through 23 months. Points represent the percentage of patients with bronchiolitis actively monitored with continuous pulse oximetry, measured...
Supplemental oxygen was given via nasal cannulae at a rate of 3 litres per minute to 54 patients, while the remaining 77 patients only received oxygen if their oxygen saturation dropped below 85%. Both groups in the present series were compared with 3 previously published series of patients, ...
Oxygen is the most commonly used medication in critical care setting. It is used in different concentrations with various types of delivery systems. Two main varieties of delivery system are low-flow system (nasal cannula, face masks, and non-rebreathing masks) and high-flow system (high-flow ...
The intranasal sponges and moisturizing liquid prevents and treats both abrasions from the nasal cannula and excessive drying of the mucosa. This reduces the incidence of nosebleeds in patients using supplemental nasal oxygen.Scott Schaffer
An on demand supplemental oxygen delivery system that is self-calibrating includes a tank containing a supply of oxygen and a nasal cannula through which the oxygen may be provided to a patient when the system solenoid valve is in the open condition. When the valve is in the closed condition...
After induction of standardized subarachnoid block, 94 parturients undergoing surgical delivery were randomly divided to receive 4 L.min-1 of oxygen (Group O) or medical air (Group S) under nasal cannula throughout the procedure. Patients were questioned on the development of nausea and vomiting...
Patients breathed compressed air or supplemental oxygen via nasal cannulas on consecutive nights in a randomised, double blind, crossover trial. Quality of sleep was assessed by questionnaire and by electroencephalographic sleep staging. The study had a power of 80% to detect, at the 0.05 level...
