BACKGROUND: Noninvasive respiratory support (NRS) has been used to treat acute
respiratory failure outside the ICU, but existing data have left many knowledge gaps for …

BACKGROUND: The aim of this study was to evaluate the clinical efficacy of humidified
oxygen via high-flow nasal cannula (HFNC) alternating with noninvasive ventilation (NIV) in …

Background A single prospective randomized study found that, in selected patients with
acute respiratory failure (ARF) following lung resection, noninvasive ventilation (NIV) …

Objectives This study was conducted to compare HFNC with bag-valve-mask (BVM) for
preoxygenation prior to intubation in patients with hypoxemic respiratory failure. Methods …

Introduction The use of high-flow nasal cannula (HFNC) for the treatment of many diseases
has gained increasing popularity. In the present meta-analysis, we aimed to assess the …

Background Cardiac surgery often leads to pulmonary complications. Non-invasive
ventilation (NIV) is a mechanical ventilation modality that may help to prevent the pulmonary …

Background Acute hypoxemic respiratory failure is among the more commonly occurring
complications in postoperative patients. Supplemental oxygen and addressing the primary …

Importance High-flow conditioned oxygen therapy delivered through nasal cannulae and
noninvasive mechanical ventilation (NIV) may reduce the need for reintubation. Among the …

Purpose High flow nasal cannula (HFNC) is a relatively recent respiratory support technique
which delivers high flow, heated and humidified controlled concentration of oxygen via the …

Background The effect of noninvasive ventilation (NIV) in patients with acute respiratory
failure (ARF) after cardiac surgery is controversial. This study identified the feasibility of NIV …
