BACKGROUND: Conflicting recommendations exist on whether high-flow nasal cannula (HFNC) oxygen therapy should be administered to adult patients in critical care with acute hypoxemic respiratory ...
High-flow nasal cannula (HFNC) oxygen therapy is a relatively recent innovation in adult critical care units. It delivers warm humidified oxygen at high flow rates (between 15 and 60 L/min) through a ...

The complexity of the disease has made ventilator use challenging. Treatment of COVID-19 has been a medical puzzle for front-line doctors largely learning about the disease in real-time without proven ...
Compared with non-invasive ventilation (NIV), high-flow nasal cannula (HFNC) oxygen therapy carried less risk of treatment failure and had better tolerance and comfort among patients. New study ...
