Well I just got a frantic page
A nurse wanted me right away
Her patient breathes with mouth agape
And she told me she was afraid
With mouth wide open
Using nasal prongs
That the oxygen won’t get into the lungs
With mouth wide open
And then in walked a resident
Whose lack of skills was evident
He looked around and then he scratched his head
Then finally turned to me and said
With mouth wide open
And a cannula
Does the oxygen get down into the lungs
With mouth wide open
I just don’t understand
How nasal Os can be helping this man
With mouth wide open
If I had just one buck each
time I got asked
This very same question I would be one rich man
Bernoulli’s law allows that with a patent nare
Gradients will provide the free flow of air
With mouth wide open
And a cannula
Yes the oxygen can get down to the lung
With mouth wide open
I hope you now can see
How patients get their 02 therapy
With mouth wide open |
