A nasal oxygen tube and neck support assembly is described which comprises a pair of nasal oxygen tubes connected at their lower end to a furcator and at their upper ends to a nasal oxygen supply manifold, a clasp connected to the oxygen supply tube and most preferably to the furcator to which the tubes are connected. A sling or lanyard is connected to the clasp to extend around the neck of the patient so that a force pulling downwardly on the oxygen tube will be transmitted through the clasp and sling to the patient\s neck rather than to the portion of the oxygen tube that extends to the patient\s nose.

A method of providing dual support for a nasal oxygen tube assembly having an oxygen supply tube to supply oxygen from an oxygen source to a patient, a pair of nasal oxygen tubes connected to the oxygen supply tube at one end and connected at the other end to a nasal manifold to supply oxygen from the tubes to the nose of the patient; said method comprising, maintaining the oxygen tubes sufficiently long to extend from the oxygen supply tube to behind the ears of a patient and thence forwardly proximate to the patient\s nose, placing the nasal manifold adjacent the nose of the patient, placing the oxygen tube adjacent the patient\s breast, placing one oxygen tube over each ear of the patient during use to define a first support means for the assembly and to hold the nasal manifold in contact with the patient\s nose, providing a neck sling, connecting the neck sling to the portion of the nasal oxygen tube assembly adjacent the patient\s breast, placing the neck sling around the neck of the patient to define a second support means for the assembly that transfers downward forces applied to the supply tube and the oxygen tubes to the neck of the patient, thereby providing greater safety, stability and comfort for the user.
