Heated humidified high-flow therapy, often simply called high flow therapy , is a medical treatment providing respiratory support by delivering a flow of oxygen of up to 60 liters per minute to a patient through a large-bore or high-flow nasal cannula.

Optiflow™ High Flow Therapy system. An integrated flow generator, wide flow range (2 - 60 L/min) and various interfaces facilitates the treatment of a broad range of patients across the hospital. Nasal High Flow Therapy (NHF) aka HFNC is recommended for several clinical applications among published clinical practice guidelines.

Optiflow interfaces for adult and peadiatric applications, including nasal cannula, tracheostomy and mask adapter options

Optiflow nasal high flow therapy delivers respiratory support to your patients, by providing heated, humidified air and oxygen at flow rates up to 70 L/min through the unique Optiflow nasal cannula and delivered by a device such as the Airvo 2 or Airvo 3 …

To assess the effectiveness of non-rebreather mask combined with low-flow nasal cannula (NRB + NC) compared to high-flow nasal cannula (HFNC) in improving oxygenation in patients with COVID-19-related hypoxemic respiratory failure (HRF). This ...

High flow nasal cannula therapy, also known as Heated humidified high-flow (HHHF) therapy, often also high flow nasal cannula (e) (HFNC) or high flow nasal oxygen (HFNO), is a type of respiratory support method that delivers a high flow oxygen through a nasal cannula intended to create a wash-out of the upper airway.

2014年11月17日 · These high-flow nasal cannula (HFNC) systems enhance patient comfort and tolerance compared with traditional high-flow oxygenation systems, such as nasal masks and nonrebreathing systems. By delivering higher flow rates, HFNC systems are less apt than traditional oxygenation systems to permit entrainment of room air during patient inspiration.

2019年2月14日 · This can be used in conjunction with or instead of conventional oxygen therapy (COT), including a simple face mask which delivers oxygen. Oxygen and/or respiratory support are required for patients in emergency rooms, on the ward and/or in critical care settings during respiratory failure.

2024年9月1日 · For HFT patients, staff should keep a distance of six feet from the patient (as much as possible) and the patient should wear a surgical mask over the HFNC. 12 For NIV and BiPAP circuits, a high-efficiency and low-resistance antimicrobial filter should be …

17 Ms. C. is a 62 year old with COVID19 who initially required 4L of oxygen. You are called to her bedside for respiratory distress and initiate high flow. Assuming each setting is sufficient to achieve an SpO2 > 90%, what initial high flow settings would you choose? High work of breathing? At risk for intubation? Low work of breathing?
