A combined cannula and temperature sensing device for detecting breathing of a patient. The cannula comprising a cannula body defining at least one internal flow chamber therein, at least one tube being connected to the cannula body and communicating with the internal flow chamber, a pair of nasal prongs communicating with the internal flow chamber, and the cannula body having retaining mechanism for releasably attaching the temperature sensing device to the cannula. The temperature sensing device comprising a sensor body, at least one temperature sensor being supported by the sensor body, and the sensor body releasably engaging with the retaining mechanism of the cannula for positioning the at least one temperature sensor adjacent at least one of a nasal cavity and a mouth of the patient for detecting breathing of the patient.
