High-flow nasal cannula (HFNC) oxygen therapy is carried out using an air/oxygen blender,
active humidifier, single heated tube, and nasal cannula. Able to deliver adequately heated …

Traditionally, nasal oxygen therapy has been delivered at low flows through nasal cannulae.
In recent years, nasal cannulae designed to administer heated and humidified air/oxygen …

Background: Since publication of the 2012 Berlin definition of acute respiratory distress
syndrome (ARDS), several developments have supported the need for an expansion of the …

Rationale: Oxygen is commonly administered after extubation. Although several devices are
available, data about their clinical efficacy are scarce. Objectives: To compare the effects of …

High-flow nasal cannula (HFNC) oxygen therapy comprises an air/oxygen blender, an active
humidifier, a single heated circuit, and a nasal cannula. It delivers adequately heated and …

During the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, noninvasive respiratory
support has played a central role in managing patients affected by moderate-to-severe acute …

Purpose Prone positioning (PP) improves oxygenation and outcome of patients with acute
respiratory distress syndrome undergoing invasive ventilation. We evaluated feasibility and …

Oxygen therapy can be delivered using low-flow, intermediate-flow (air entrainment mask),
or high-flow devices. Low/intermediate-flow oxygen devices have several drawbacks that …

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 High-flow nasal cannulae (HFNCs) create positive oropharyngeal airway
pressure, but it is unclear how their use affects lung volume. Electrical impedance …
