medical professionals place into a patient&#8217;s vein or bodily cavity, such as the nose. The cannula is used by doctors to drain fluid, give medication, or deliver oxygen. Blood samples from the body are also taken using a cannula.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"how_does_a_cannula_work\"><\/span>How does a cannula work?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Typically, the term cannula refers to a tiny plastic tube that is placed into a bodily cavity using a needle to puncture a vein or blood vessel. The cannula is then left in place for simple access to withdraw or inject anything into the vessel after the needle has been taken out.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Side read:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/healthwire.pk\/healthcare\/what-are-neutrophils-in-a-blood-test\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">What are neutrophils in a blood test?<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"cannula_types\"><\/span>Cannula types&nbsp;<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The technique and the patient&#8217;s level of comfort determine the cannula type to be used. There are two main types of cannula:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"iv_cannula\"><\/span>IV cannula&nbsp;<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>IV cannulas are small, flexible tubes that medical professionals insert into veins to administer various treatments and preventative care. Medical professionals can use the cannula to directly inject drugs, fluids, or blood after it has been put into the vein.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are three basic IV cannula types described below:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Peripheral IV cannula: <\/strong>The peripheral IV cannula is the most widely used IV cannula. It is typically used for surgery and emergency room patients, as well as for people who receive radiological imaging.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These IV lines are only utilized for a total of four days at a time. It&#8217;s glued to the skin using adhesive tape or a non-allergic substitute after being connected to an IV catheter.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Central line IV cannula:<\/strong> For patients undergoing lengthy therapies who need to receive medication or fluids over several weeks or months, this type of IV cannula is used.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They aid with the quicker delivery of medications for prompt responses. Additionally, they work well for introducing significant doses of blood or any other fluid into the patient&#8217;s body.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This IV cannula is put into the femoral vein, subclavian vein, or the neck&#8217;s jugular vein.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Midline catheter:<\/strong> For individuals receiving treatment that lasts more than five days but less than a month, the midline catheter cannula type is the ideal option.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They are frequently used to extract blood samples or administer substances because they are thought to as a less invasive technique.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"nasal_cannulas\"><\/span>Nasal cannulas&nbsp;<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Nasal cannulas are made of flexible tubing that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lung.org\/lung-health-diseases\/lung-procedures-and-tests\/oxygen-therapy\/oxygen-delivery-devices\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">fits within the nostrils<\/a> to distribute oxygen.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Standard nasal cannulas have a lesser oxygen flow than other types, such as high-flow nasal cannulas (HFNC). HFNCs may also warm the gas to 98.6 F. Warmer, more humid air can facilitate easy breathing whereas colder, dryer air can cause airway inflammation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Because it is lighter, more comfortable, and less irritating to their airways than a typical nasal cannula, some patients prefer the HFNC.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"sizes_and_flow_rates_of_the_cannula\"><\/span>Sizes and flow rates of the cannula&nbsp;<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In a clinical context, various cannula types and sizes are available. They come in a variety of colors, sizes, and most importantly, uses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>It&#8217;s important to remember that the cannula number decreases as the cannula size increases.<\/em> For instance, a cannula with a diameter of 16G will flow more quickly than one with a diameter of 22G.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>\u201cBirmingham gauge\u201d <\/strong>is what the \u201cG\u201d in cannula size stands for. This gauge is used to display the thickness or diameter of various hypodermic needles.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now, let us see cannula types and their sizes with flow rate and uses.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"iv_cannulas_-_types_of_cannulas_and_their_sizes\"><\/span>IV cannulas \u2013 Types of cannulas and their sizes<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>IV cannulas come in various diameters, and their purpose is indicated by the color they are assigned. In general, IV cannula sizes range from 14 to 24 gauge. The patient&#8217;s condition, the IV cannula&#8217;s intended use, and the urgency of the fluid delivery are taken into consideration while determining the size.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Different cannula sizes with their flow rates, color, and uses are described below:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"1-_cannula_size_14g\"><\/span>1- Cannula size 14G<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Color:<\/strong> Orange&nbsp;<\/li><li><strong>Flow rate:<\/strong> 10.3l\/hr for blood, 16.2l\/hr for plasma, and 13.5l\/hr for crystalloids<\/li><li><strong>Uses:<\/strong> Fluid replacement, surgeries, blood transfusion, and trauma cases<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2-_cannula_size_16g\"><\/span>2- Cannula Size 16G<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Color:<\/strong> Grey<strong>&nbsp;<\/strong><\/li><li><strong>Flow rate: <\/strong>7.1L\/hr for blood, 10.8l\/hr for plasma, and 9.4l\/hr for crystalloids<\/li><li><strong>Uses:<\/strong> IV fluid replacement, surgeries (where instant results are required), blood transfusion<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3-_cannula_size_18g\"><\/span>3- Cannula size 18G<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Color: <\/strong>Green&nbsp;<\/li><li><strong>Flow rate: <\/strong>2.7l\/hr for blood, 4.8l\/hr for plasma, and 4.1l\/hr for crystalloids<\/li><li><strong>Uses: <\/strong>Trauma cases, blood transfusions, large fluid volume, major surgeries, stem cell harvestings, fluid replacement, and parenteral nutrition<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"4-_cannula_size_20g_-_mostly_used_cannula_type_in_clinical_settings\"><\/span>4- Cannula size 20G \u2013 Mostly used cannula type in clinical settings&nbsp;<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Color: <\/strong>Pink<\/li><li><strong>Flow rate: <\/strong>1.9l\/hr for blood, 3.2l\/hr for plasma, and 2.9l\/hr for crystalloids<\/li><li><strong>Uses: <\/strong>Blood and IV fluids transfusions<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"5-_cannula_size_22g\"><\/span>5- Cannula size 22G<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Color: <\/strong>Blue<\/li><li><strong>Flow rate: <\/strong>1.1l\/hr for blood, 1.9l\/hr for plasma, and 1.7l\/hr for crystalloid fluids<\/li><li><strong>Uses: <\/strong>Fluids and blood transfusions in smaller veins, for elderly, oncology, and pediatric patients<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"6-_cannula_size_24g\"><\/span>6- Cannula size 24G<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Color: <\/strong>Yellow<\/li><li><strong>Flow rate: <\/strong>20ml\/min for blood<\/li><li><strong>Uses: <\/strong>Used in neonates and children<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"iv_cannula_size_for_baby\"><\/span>IV cannula size for baby<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Smaller cannulas are needed for babies; depending on where the catheter will be inserted.
