Global Rationale: The infant will not usually allow placement of a mask of any type, and this is not an effective means of delivering oxygen to young children. Infants might tolerate nasal cannulas if the tubing is secured using tape, but the older infant or toddler will usually attempt to pull it off. Oxygen hoods allow placement over the child's face allowing uninterrupted delivery of oxygen.
