The nasal cannula may be held in place with tape sometimes; in the majority of cases, however, particularly with a non-mobile patient, it’s just inserted and left. (But you’re right; nasal cannuli come loose all the time. You turn your head, the thing leaves your nostrils.)

I’m a little late to this post – but at several of the hospitals i’ve been to, they have a pretty strict anti-flower policy. NYU and NYM in Manhattan and Brooklyn, respectively. I think St. Luke’s would be the same.

Shouldn’t the tube stuck up his nose (nasal canula?) be held in place somehow? As it is pictured there, the least head movement is liable to cause it to fall out.

To TayJK:

Hopefully the reason she’s taking him back to Namdu Parbat is to see the Accomplished Perfect Physician, who already told Ralph Dibny when they met there that he could CURE CANCER WITH A FLICK OF HIS TONGUE.

You know, Vic looks awfully good for a guy who’s about to die of cancer. He’s still got quite a build on him.

Cliff,

You’re right. Hospitals almost always have a central oxygen line. And humidifiers help. I just considered these nit-picks as I’ve seen this scenario happen before when the oxygen system is down or the patient is just about to be, or just back from, transportation.

To Trench:

He’s not quite dead. Delirious, non-sensical, and apparently in pain (thus the morphine), Renee decides to take him back to the mountains. For what purpose, I’m not quite sure, but she does have a reason.

I think it’s the new salsa-flavored morphine — available at finer pharmacies near you!

Portable oxygen tank? Don’t hospitals usually have a central O2 line in the rooms?

And I can’t tell but it doesn’t look like that tank has any kind of humidifier attached – that’d be painful for any long-term use.
