Description
•Oxygen therapy is needed to help treat patients with a variety of medical conditions.
•Oxygen conservation methods can be used to deliver oxygen only during beginning of inspiration.
•This can provide the same medical benefits as constant oxygen delivery while using less oxygen and reducing costs.
•These conserving methods include intermittent flow devices and reservoir cannulas.
•Our goal was to optimize a pulse flow and reservoir cannula device for use in children age 5 years and under.
