I had not had a decent nights sleep having to wear my cannula. This video, literally , saved my life and gave me back sleeping! I now put it on from behind my head, and no longer fear choking as I used to when putting it on the most popular way. THANK YOU!!!!!
This is sorely lacking. No cannulas that have ever been supplied to me have the "tab." So I wondered, are the prongs supposed to be pointed downward or upward? Can't tell by the video, as it's not really clear and due to optical illusion, the prongs can appear to be going up or down. We need to be told. Previously I read the prongs should point down, so for a year that's how I've been wearing them. But alas, today they delivered mini-tanks with pulse action. I could not figure out why the pulse just didn't seem to work. Eventually I discovered that with the tabs pointing down, the unit was not perceiving an intake of breath through my nose. When I turned the prongs up, the pulse worked just fine. So now I'm wondering, what is supposed to be the right way. Seems a video purporting to show how to wear a cannula should cover this.
There is no tab on mine, either. I have looked at different videos and I like this one best because there isn't any loud music, making it difficult to hear the person speaking.
"The nasal cannula prongs are slightly curved. Make sure the prong tips curve DOWN into the nose following the natural curve of the nasal passage. NOTE: Prongs that are placed wrong can bother and damage the nasal tissue. Oxygen should have moisture added (humidified)."
Protect Your Ears:One of the most common complaints among individuals using oxygen tubing is soreness or irritation behind the ears. To prevent this, invest in cushioned ear protectors designed specifically for oxygen tubing. These soft pads can help distribute pressure evenly, reducing the risk of discomfort or skin irritation. Alternatively, you can fashion your own padding using soft fabric or foam material for added comfort.
John F Kennedy. You use them when you have any type of breathing probleme . It is suposde to be recommended by a doctor , but u can also use them for fun

ApplyUrBrain -- Exactly. I have the same issue. No tab.
I agree it is not very clear and mine also does not have a tab
No tab here.
I also have no tab. However it seems to seat itself more comfortably with the prongs facing downward for me,

Very valuable Message
Can we clean this pipe?? ..if yes after how many days??? Please reply
So what do you do when your ears are raw sore and bleeding from that thing rubbing them there's no answers about this
Don't put it behind your ears, tape it to your face with medical tape or get a full oxygen mask
