Emedinews:Makesure:A patient on binasal oxygen developed nasal mucosal damage.


Situation: A patient on binasal oxygen developed nasal mucosal damage.
Reaction: Oh my God! Why was the oxygen given at the rate of 4 liters per minute?
Lesson: Make sure that oxygen via nasal catheter, is not given at a rate of >3 liters per minute.
