Helpful Tips

• Don't ever change the flow of oxygen unless directed by your physician.
• Problems with your nasal cannula? Ask your oxygen supplier about these products:

There are hypoallergenic nasal cannulas available for your sensitive nose.

Don’t like the looks of the nasal cannula? There is a product that has the nasal cannula tubing built into an eyeglass frame.

Ear pads and tubing covers can reduce irritation around the ears.

Special gels are available to moisturize the nose and skin around the nose.

• Be sure to order more oxygen at least two to three days before you need it.
• Use backpacks or rolling carts to carry portable oxygen systems.
