ABSTRACT:
A respiratory device and method of operating the same are shown comprising, in combination, a conduit portion passing above a user's left and right ears and which is coupled to the user's nostrils for supplying a fluid to the user, and a coupling portion contacting a back portion of the user's head and having a cavity through which the conduit portion passes for securely coupling the conduit portion around part of the user's head. The conduit portion comprises a plurality of flexible, tubular members which are coupled to a nasal cannula inserted into the user's nostrils. The tubular members criss-cross within the cavity, thereby securing the cannula to the user's nostrils without, as was previously done, having the members painfully wrapped around the user's ears.
