ABSTRACT:
An apparatus and method for supporting a nasal cannula having two branches across the face of a patient for use utilizes a strap positionable across the top of the head of a patient wherein the strap includes two opposite end portions which are disposed adjacent the ears of the patient when the strap is positioned across the head. An amount of adhesive is borne by each end portion of the strap for adhesively securing the branches of the nasal cannula to the end portions of the strap so that by adhesively securing each of the two branches to a corresponding end portion of the strap and then positioning the strap across the head of a patient, the branches are suspended across the patient's head by the strap and prevented from shifting relative to the end portions by the adhesive.
