Two Aren’t Really Better Than One

Iceman in the hospital from Ultimate X-Men #18
(Words by Mark Millar, Art by Adam Kubert)
If Iceman is intubated with a endotracheal tube (breathing tube) down his trachea [yellow arrow], why does he need a nasal canula (and an incorrectly drawn one at that) [red arrow]?
To further nit-pick, what’s with the electrode on the side of his neck? Whatever flaws Adam Kubert’s medical drawing might have, at least he’s showing respect for the history of comics books with the addition of some kind of Kirby-machine on Iceman’s chest and what can only be the 1960’s TV show Batcave computer in the background.
