OBJECTIVE: To compare the comfort of oxygen therapy via high-flow nasal cannula (HFNC)
versus via conventional face mask in patients with acute respiratory failure. Acute respiratory …

OBJECTIVE: Heated and humidified high flow nasal cannula oxygen therapy (HFNC)
represents a new alternative to conventional oxygen therapy that has not been evaluated in …

OBJECTIVE: In a cardiothoracic and vascular intensive care unit, to compare nasal high-flow
(NHF) oxygen therapy and standard high-flow face mask (HFFM) oxygen therapy in patients …

INTRODUCTION: High-flow nasal cannula (HFNC) can deliver heated and humidified gas
(up to 100% oxygen) at a maximum flow of 60 L/min via nasal prongs or cannula. The aim of …

Rationale: High-flow nasal cannula (HFNC) improves the clinical outcomes of nonintubated
patients with acute hypoxemic respiratory failure (AHRF). Objectives: To assess the effects of …

BACKGROUND: Beneficial effects of high-flow nasal cannula (HFNC) oxygen on
oxygenation and respiratory parameters have been reported in a small number of subjects …

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 …

Acute respiratory failure (ARF) represents one of the most common causes of intensive care
unit admission and oxygen therapy remains the first-line therapy in the management of …

Purpose Limited data exist on the correlation between higher flow rates of high-flow nasal
cannula (HFNC) and its physiologic effects in patients with acute hypoxemic respiratory …

Background Whether noninvasive ventilation should be administered in patients with acute
hypoxemic respiratory failure is debated. Therapy with high-flow oxygen through a nasal …
