In vitro comparison of heliox and oxygen in aerosol delivery using pediatric high flow nasal cannula.

Drug administration via high flow nasal cannula (HFNC) has been described in pediatrics but the amount of albuterol delivery with an HFNC is not known. The purpose of this study is to quantify aerosol delivery with heliox and oxygen (O(2)) in a model of pediatric ventilation. A vibrating mesh nebulizer (Aeroneb Solo, Aerogen) was placed on the inspiratory inlet of a heated humidifier and heated...

High-flow nasal cannula: recommendations for daily practice in pediatrics

High-flow nasal cannula (HFNC) is a relatively new device for respiratory support. In pediatrics, HFNC use continues to increase as the system is easily set up and is well tolerated by patients. The use of nasal cannula adapted to the infant's nares size to deliver heated and humidified gas at high flow rates has been associated with improvements in washout of nasopharyngeal dead space, lung mu...

High flow nasal cannula in children: a literature review

High flow nasal cannula (HFNC) is a relatively new non-invasive ventilation therapy that seems to be well tolerated in children. Recently a marked increase in the use of HFNC has been seen both in paediatric and adult care settings. The aim of this study was to review the current knowledge of HFNC regarding mechanisms of action, safety, clinical effects and tolerance in children beyond the newb...
