A cannula fits by being carefully positioned on the face and secured around the ears and under the chin.
Here's a breakdown of how a cannula is typically fitted, based on the provided reference:
Cannula Fitting Process:
- Tubing Placement: The cannula tubing is brought down and wrapped around the ears.
- Securing: A slide mechanism is then tightened under the chin to secure the cannula in place.
- This method is recommended by Mountain High, as stated in the video reference.
Alternative Cannula Fitting Method:
- The reference also mentions another way to put on a cannula, but details are not fully specified. The primary method discussed in the reference is wrapping the tubing around the ears and tightening the slide under the chin.
Key Elements of a Proper Fit
- Comfort: The cannula should be comfortable for the wearer, without being too tight or too loose.
- Secure: The cannula needs to stay in place, even with movement.
- Effective Oxygen Delivery: Proper fitting ensures the cannula delivers oxygen as intended.
