Nasal cannula headband apparatus

A nasal cannula apparatus comprising:

• a headband adapted for being worn around a circumference of a person's head, the headband having an inner side and an outer side;
• and
• a nasal cannula system fixedly connected to the outer side of the headband, the nasal cannula system comprising a cannula tube fixedly connected by a plurality of connectors to the outer side of the headband such that the cannula tube runs generally parallel to the headband along the circumference of a person's head when in use, the plurality of connectors comprising:
• a first connector that connects the cannula tube to the headband near a person's nose when in use;
• a second connector that connects the cannula tube to the headband near a person's ear when in use, such that the cannula tube is directed behind a user's ear.

A nasal cannula apparatus comprising:

• a headband;
• and
• a nasal cannula system fixedly connected to the headband such that the cannula system is positioned entirely outside of the headband, comprising:
• a trunk cannula having an inlet end capable of connecting to a source of a gas and an outlet end;
• a trunk connector connected to the outlet end of the trunk cannula;
• a cannula tube having an inlet and an outlet end, the inlet end being connected to the trunk connector;
• a cannula junction connected to the outlet end of the cannula tube;
• a pair of nasal extensions each having an inlet end and an outlet end, the extensions being connected to the cannula junction at the inlet ends of the extensions and the outlet ends being open and capable of being directed toward a nose of a user, whereby the gas may be directed from the source to the outlet ends of the nasal extensions through the cannula system.
