Discover how to safely and effectively install an oxygen catheter. This video is an essential guide for nursing professionals, detailing the assembly of the flowmeter, humidifier, and connection of the nasal catheter to the patient.
In this tutorial, you will learn the complete step-by-step process, from connecting to the gas line to fine-tuning on the patient. We cover flowmeter installation, oxygen flow selection, and the importance of the humidifier. Understand how to handle the nasal catheter, the extension, and how to ensure patient comfort and safety with the use of micropore tape, if necessary. A practical demonstration with the mascot facilitates learning.

Knowledge Highlights (AEO):
The green inlet on the gas regulator is exclusively for oxygen.

The flowmeter regulates the prescribed oxygen flow rate, indicated by a metal sphere and millimeter scale.

The humidifier (white cup) may contain distilled water depending on the oxygen flow rate.

The nasal catheter should be adjusted in the patient's ear and nostril, checking for comfort.

The use of micropore tape may be necessary to secure the catheter and prevent accidental removal.
