Place the nasal cannulae over the head...
so that the tubing passes behind the ears.
Hook the tubing over the ears and bring the cannulae forward in front of the nose
Gently position the cannulae inside the nostrils....
then tighten to secure the cannulae in position. Attach the other end of the tubing to the oxygen flow meter and turn on the oxygen (flow rate of 1-6 l/min).
