What is a cannula breakup?
The medical term cannula refers to a flexible plastic tube inserted into the body to withdraw fluid or to add hydration, medicine or oxygen. The size of the cannula is measured both in length and in diameter, with the term to break up the cannula with reference to the size of the inner diameter of the cannula. The cannula gauge helps to determine the speed at which the substance can be infused or downloaded. This measurement is most important in determining the appropriate intravenous (IV) size of the cannula or in other situations where the accumulated fluid must be removed from the body. For other equipment, the cannula breakup is standard, it differs only in adults versus children's sizes. The nose of the oxygen administration is a piece in the shape of a hoop connected to a clear plastic hose of approximately 4 ft (1.22 m) in length. One end has a graded border slightly to push the connection to the oxygen source. The other end of the oxygen pipes is divided into a circular hoop. Two short cannulas are placed in the nose, then the split hoop is joined over the top of thethe patient's ears; Reconnect to one tube under the patient's chin.
Choosing the right cannula breakup is most important in administering intravenous (IV) fluids, drugs, blood or platelet to patients. The number representing the meter of the cannula - which starts for example #10 and increases the additions of two to #26 - is indirectly related to the lumen of the cannula. In other words, the lower the cannula number, the larger the cannula diameter. Blood products require a cannula meter at least #18 to prevent injury or breaking red blood cells. In traumatic situations, when the patient experienced a large blood loss, the Largobem IV of fluids must be administered very quickly through large meters of the cannula.
Tracheotomy, which is a surgical cut in the patient's throat to facilitate breathing, also uses the inner cannulas of various meters that fit into a more permanent tracheotomic center. These cannula meters depends on the EDKU, patient size and expected persistence of tracheotomy. Internal tracheotomic cannulas are removable for easy cleaning of secretion from the device and, if necessary, allow suction of the lower airways.
