About Adult Straight Prong High Flow Nasal Cannula

Supplemental oxygen therapy is one of the more commonly prescribed interventions used by clinicians when caring for hypoxic patients acutely. This supplementation often takes the form of the low-flow nasal cannula (LFNC). However, there are limitations to this supplemental oxygen intervention. A traditional nasal cannula can only effectively provide only up to 4 to 6 liters per minute of supplemental oxygen. This equates to a FiO2 of approximately 0.37 to 0.45. Above this number, nasal mucosal irritation occurs with the drying of the passages, and there is, therefore, an increased potential for bleeding with prolonged use. In low-flow nasal cannula therapy, FiO2 delivery is directly tied to flow rate. For increased FiO2, the rate must be increased. The low-flow nasal cannula is an open system of supplementation with high levels of leaking air around the oxygen source. As such, the efficacy of treatment for the low-flow nasal cannula is limited. High-flow nasal cannula (HFNC) therapy is an oxygen supply system capable of delivering up to 100% humidified and heated oxygen at a flow rate of up to 60 liters per minute. All settings are controlled independently allowing for greater confidence in the delivery of supplemental oxygen as well as better outcomes when used. In addition to greater control over the delivery of FiO2, there are several benefits to using a high-flow nasal cannula. The physiological mechanism of action and uses for high-flow nasal cannula are explored. This activity reviews the use of a high flow nasal cannula and the role of the interprofessional team in evaluating and monitoring patients receiving high flow oxygen.

Engineered for high flow delivery, this nasal cannula supports up to 60 L/min, ensuring optimal oxygen therapy for adults with varying respiratory needs. Its straight prong design enhances flow efficiency and comfort during both mild and critical respiratory situations.

Superior Comfort and Safety

Crafted from soft, non-irritant medical-grade PVC, the cannula minimizes discomfort and the risk of skin irritation. Completely latex-free and EO sterile, it meets stringent quality and safety standards including ISO 13485 compliance and CE marking.

Easy to Use and Disposable

Featuring a universal connector compatible with standard oxygen tubing, this device is designed for single-use to prevent cross-contamination. Its crush-resistant, flexible tube provides ease of handling, making it ideal for various care settings.

FAQ's of Adult Straight Prong High Flow Nasal Cannula:

Q: How do you use the Adult Straight Prong High Flow Nasal Cannula?

A: To use the cannula, simply connect the universal connector to the oxygen source tubing, position the straight prongs comfortably in the patient's nostrils, and secure around the ears. Always ensure the device is used as a single-use disposable for optimal hygiene.

Q: What are the main benefits of a straight prong high flow nasal cannula?

A: Straight prong design enhances patient comfort, maximizes high flow oxygen delivery up to 60 L/min, and minimizes the risk of nasal irritation. The device's flexibility and anatomical fit ensure consistent performance with low noise.

Q: When should this high flow nasal cannula be used?

A: This device is suitable for adult patients requiring high flow oxygen therapy in hospitals, clinics, or under home care supervision. It is typically used during respiratory illnesses or situations where enhanced oxygen support is necessary.

Q: Where can the cannula be stored before use?

A: Store the nasal cannula in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and moisture. Keeping the package sealed maintains its sterility until it is ready for use.

Q: What process ensures the cannula is safe and hygienic for use?

A: Each cannula is EO sterilized, latex-free, and sealed to uphold strict hygiene, meeting international safety standards (ISO 13485, CE). Always check the packaging's integrity before using.

Q: Can this cannula be reused?

A: No, this device is intended for single use only. Reusing may compromise sterility and increase risk of infection.

Q: What makes the tubing reliable during usage?

A: The cannula features crush- and kink-resistant tubing, maintaining consistent oxygen flow even if the tube is bent or compressed, ensuring reliable respiratory support throughout use.
