What Does NC Stand For?
NC stands for Nasal Cannula
NC, or Nasal Cannula, is a medical device used to deliver supplemental oxygen to patients with respiratory conditions. It consists of a tube that splits into two prongs, which are inserted into the nostrils, allowing for comfortable and continuous oxygen flow. The nasal cannula is commonly utilized in various healthcare settings due to its ease of use, ability to provide oxygen while allowing the patient to speak and eat, and compatibility with long-term use.
