  • Title: Simple new method of protecting the septum during oxygen delivery via a nasal canula.
    Author: Banerjee AS, Kumar BU, Sethi N.
    Journal: J Laryngol Otol; 2005 Jan; 119(1):38-9. PubMed ID: 15807963.
    Abstract:
    Epistaxsis and crustation are common problems associated with long-term use of oxygen through nasal prongs in patients suffering from chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. The nasal prong can cause direct trauma to the septal mucosa. We describe a simple solution to this problem with use of the disposable ear tip used in tympanometry.
