In order to fulfill this function, medical facilities must maintain rigorous regulatory compliance. For example, hospitals and medical offices may need to maintain certain protocols regarding the use of anesthesia, the sanitization of recovery rooms, the hygiene habits of doctors and nurses, and so forth.

If your practice treats patients who suffer from chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and require long-term oxygen therapy, then you likely need to invest in a set of nasal cannulas. These devices are simple and effective at administering oxygen.
