ABSTRACT:
An oxygen cannula has an oxygen inlet flowably connectable to an oxygen supply, two neck tubes each flowably connectable to the oxygen inlet, two oxygen delivery each having a tube end and an oxygen outlet, wherein each one of the tube ends is flowably connectable to a corresponding neck tube and each of the oxygen outlets delivers oxygen to a patient, and a harness extending behind the patient's neck, wherein the harness has two ends connectable to the corresponding neck tubes, and wherein the harness absorbs force exerted to the oxygen inlet. In one aspect, there are two oxygen delivery tubes and each has an output end that flowably connects to a corresponding end on a nostril feed having two nostril inserts, wherein the two nostril inserts deliver oxygen into a patient's nostrils. In another aspect, an adjuster secures the oxygen delivery tubes behind the patient's head and the nasal inserts are securely positioned within the patient's nostrils.
