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 …

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 …

Rationale: One important concern during high-flow nasal cannula (HFNC) therapy in
patients with acute hypoxemic respiratory failure is to not delay intubation. Objectives: To …

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 …

Background It had been shown that High-flow nasal cannula (HFNC) is an effective initial
support strategy for patients with acute respiratory failure. However, the efficacy of HFNC for …

Purpose The purpose of the study is to describe early predictors and to develop a prediction
tool that accurately identifies the need for mechanical ventilation (MV) in pneumonia patients …

Background High-flow nasal cannula oxygen (HFNC) is a relatively new therapy used in
adults with respiratory failure. Whether it is superior to conventional oxygen therapy (COT) or …

Acute respiratory failure occurs in up to half of patients with haematological malignancies
and 15% of those with solid tumours or solid organ transplantation. Mortality remains high …

High flow nasal cannula (HFNC) supportive therapy has emerged as a safe, useful therapy
in patients with respiratory failure, improving oxygenation and comfort. Recently several …

Background The effects of high-flow nasal cannula (HFNC) on adult patients with acute
respiratory failure (ARF) are controversial. We aimed to further determine the effectiveness …
