title: Infant oxygen administration by modified nasal cannula.
abstract: In both pediatric and neonatal intensive care settings, and occasionally at home, there exists the need to deliver chronic low dose oxygen therapy to small, uncooperative patients. To be effective, a method of oxygen delivery must be both reliable and comfortable, and, at the same time, inexpensive and safe. We believe that this may be achieved by a simple modification of existing pediatric nasal cannulae.
