What is Cannula and brief about its types
![]() |
Cannula Market |
A cannula is a small tube inserted into a person's body
cavity, such as their nose, or into a vein by doctors. They're used by doctors
to drain fluid, give medication, and deliver oxygen.
Cannulas are divided
into two categories:
Cannulas for IVs: IV cannulas are short, flexible tubes that
doctors insert into a vein.
Cannulas for the nose: Nasal cannulas are flexible tubes
that supply oxygen and rest within the nostrils.

Cannula for IV
To place an IV cannula in a person's arm, a doctor or nurse
will conduct the following:
They will ask the individual to lie or sit with one arm
exposed and stretched by their side.
They'll pick a spot in the person's arm to implant the
needle. This is usually the person's non-dominant side, and it involves an area
with the cleanest veins.
An alcohol wipe will be used to clean this region.
Above this location, they'll tie a tourniquet. A tourniquet
is a tight-knit band used by doctors to stop the flow of blood. Although it may
be unpleasant, the doctor or nurse will only leave it in place for a minute.
They will warn the person that they will be scratched before
inserting the needle into the vein.
The needle's sole purpose is to penetrate the skin and vein
in order to enter the cannula into the vein. The needle is withdrawn from the
vein as the cannula slips over the needle and into the vein.
Medical tape or a dressing, such as a wrap or specific
bandage, is used to secure the cannula in place.
The only discomfort associated with inserting an IV cannula
is the scratch caused by the needle puncturing the skin.
Nasal cannula
If a person feels faint or anxious during the procedure,
they should inform the doctor or nurse who is fitting the cannula.
To place a nasal cannula, a doctor or nurse will do the
following:
If possible, they will ask the client to sit up straight to
allow their lungs to expand.
They'll plug the flow metre into a power outlet and connect
it to a nozzle.
They'll turn on the flow metre and make sure the oxygen is
flowing freely.
The nasal cannula will be inserted into a person's nose; the
prongs on the cannula will keep it in position just inside the nostrils.
They'll coil the tubing around someone's ears and place the
plastic slider under their chin to keep it in place.
Every two hours, they will assess the person's comfort and
the pressure of the cannula on the skin. Every 4–8 hours, they will check the
flow rate.
