What do I do if the oxygen tubing detaches from the oxygen port?
The oxygen tubing may detach from the oxygen port if the
oxygen flow is much higher than the total flow, or if the flow meters are
closed and the oxygen flow cannot be released. To prevent this from happening,
make sure the flow meters are open and allow the oxygen flow to travel through
the meters. You should also make sure the patient tubing is not kinked or
blocked.
