Comparison of the Heated Humidified High-flow Nasal Cannula with Nasal Continuous Positive Airway Pressure as Primary Respiratory Support for Preterm Neonates: A Prospective Observational Study
Background: Heated humidified high-flow nasal cannula (HHHFNC) is gaining popularity in the management of respiratory distress in preterm neonates. However, it is not known whether it takes precedence over the gold standard nasal continuous positive airway pressure (NCPAP) in this age group as a primary mode of non-invasive ventilation (NIV). There is limited evidence ...
متن کاملHeated Humidified High-Flow Nasal Cannula Versus Nasal Continuous Positive Airway Pressure for the Facilitation of Extubation in Preterm Neonates with Respiratory Distress
Background: Heated humidified high-flow nasal cannula (HHHFNC) is gaining popularity as an alternative to nasal continuous positive airway pressure (nCPAP) therapy in the management of preterm neonates with respiratory distress due to ease of administration and patient comfort. However, limited evidence is available addressing its risks and benefits. To study the efficacy and safety of HHHFNC i...
متن کاملDescription of the Clinical Course and Severity Score Progression in Critically Ill Children with Acute Bronchiolitis on High-Flow Nasal Cannula Support
Background and Objective: Bronchiolitis is one of the main causes of morbidity and mortality in children. High-flow nasal cannulas (HFNCs) are an alternative for managing moderate to severe cases. Our aim was to describe the outcomes in critically ill children with bronchiolitis who receive HFNC support. Materials and Methods: This was a retrospective cohort study of critically ill children wh...
متن کاملCurrent evidence for the effectiveness of heated and humidified high flow nasal cannula supportive therapy in adult patients with respiratory failure
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 clinical trials have analyzed the effectiveness of HFNC therapy in different clinical situations and have reported promising results. Here we review the current knowledge about HFNC therapy, from its mechanisms of actio...
متن کاملFor critically ill patients, is high-flow nasal cannula oxygen delivery a suitable alternative to mechanical ventilation?
The purpose of respiratory support is to maintain adequate ventilation and oxygenation. Consequently, ensuring adequate alveolar ventilation is essential for expelling carbon dioxide produced in the human body. Currently, during invasive or noninvasive ventilatory support, minute ventilation is manipulated to ensure adequate alveolar ventilation. For patients with COPD exacerbations, noninvasiv...
