Noninvasive Respiratory Support in Acute Respiratory Failure Noninvasive respiratory
support can be useful for cardiogenic pulmonary edema and COPD exacerbations. For other …

Nasal high flow (NHF) has gained popularity among intensivists to manage patients with
acute respiratory failure. An important literature has accompanied this evolution. In this …

Importance The effect of high-flow oxygen therapy vs conventional oxygen therapy has not
been established in the setting of severe COVID-19. Objective To determine the effect of …

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 …

Noninvasive mechanical ventilation (NIV) is widely used in the acute care setting for acute
respiratory failure (ARF) across a variety of aetiologies. This document provides European …

Rationale: Diaphragm dysfunction worsens outcomes in mechanically ventilated patients,
but the clinical impact of potentially preventable changes in diaphragm structure and …

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

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

Importance Studies of mechanically ventilated critically ill patients that combine populations
that are at high and low risk for reintubation suggest that conditioned high-flow nasal …

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 …
