There is a member engageable with at least a portion of said first open end of each one of said pair of crush resistant nasal prongs for substantially sealing them to at least a portion of an inner wall of such air passageways. A crush resistant fluid communication device engages with the second open end of each of the nasal prongs for communicating the at least one of air, oxygen and a combination of air and oxygen to the nasal prongs. Another device is disposed on such apparatus which is engageable with the fluid communication member for retaining the nasal prongs in position in such patient's air passageways during use.</p> |
