Canular tangling
How do I stop the canular from tangling? Sometimes it chokes me at night.
Hi
thanks for your post and question - it's a good one! In fact, you are not alone trying to successfully manage the cannula's oxygen supply line. There are many in our community who have shared similar issues when it comes to staying safe and making sure the oxygen line remains untangled.
I thought you might gain some additional insight from this article (by our own), which focuses on this very topic: https://copd.net/living/oxygen-hose.
Please be sure to check the comments at the end of the article - there are 42 of them! Those comments are from our community members - sharing their own anecdotal experiences using supplemental oxygen and keeping the hoses straight.
I hope this brief reply and reference helps to address your concerns.
All the best,

- thanks for letting me know. I think you will find the article's information (and comments), will be of great help in a very practical way. If you have the chance, please let us know what you think...

I put my hose behind my neck, instead of under my chin. Makes me feel not so much choking, as I'm claustrophobic too. Then when I lay down, pull the cannula out towards whichever side goes to edge of bed that oxygen machine is on.
