High-flow nasal cannula oxygenation has distinct advantages over other oxygen devices
because of its unique effects on respiratory physiology. In particular, adjustable oxygen …

Background High-flow nasal cannula (HFNC) has become a frequently used noninvasive
form of respiratory support in acute settings; however, evidence supporting its use has only …

Background Studies have demonstrated that high-flow nasal cannula (HFNC) prevents
intubation in acute hypoxic respiratory failure when compared with conventional oxygen …

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 …

Traditional conscious sedation for endobronchial ultrasound procedures places patients at
risk of desaturation, and high‐flow nasal oxygen may reduce the risk. We designed a …

Nasal high flow is a promising novel oxygen delivery device, whose mechanisms of action
offer some beneficial effects over conventional oxygen systems. The administration of a high …

The periextubation period represents a crucial moment in the management of critically ill
patients. Extubation failure, defined as the need for reintubation within 2–7 days after a …

Background High-flow nasal cannula (HFNC) can be used as an initial support strategy for
patients with acute respiratory failure (ARF) and after extubation. However, no clear …

Purpose To assess the role of high-flow nasal therapy (HFNT) compared to standard oxygen
(SO) as complementary therapy to non-invasive ventilation (NIV). Methods Multicenter trial …

Background Data on high-flow nasal oxygen after thoracic surgery are limited and confined
to the comparison with low-flow oxygen. Different from low-flow oxygen, Venturi masks …
