Silly question.

3 Replies

Just wondering drive lines attached to nebs are usually about 1 metre in length. Is it safe to attach anything longer because at the moment I have a 4 mtre oxyen tubing attached to mine so that I can move around more easily while I am on my neb.

As far as I know it is safe to do that but don't forget you will lose some of the neb in the tubing. The longer the tube the more you waste.

Wanda dont attach it to neb at work and then go home!!!!! Not a good look for a nurse!!!!!!

Thanks for your quick replies

One thing I have noticed using it is that the battery dies much quicker!!

Bowmei the amount of times I have left the neb at work and then had to go beack later to retrieve it, though its a great way to scare the night staff!!!
