Nasal injury or irritation.This is more common with low flow nasal cannulas, but can also occur with high flow systems. Pneumothorax (collapsed lung).There is a small risk of developing acollapsed lungduring treatment with a HFNC. In one study, two children, 1% of the children in the stud...
We are now at a point where humidified high-flow nasal cannula (HFNC) may join in that list of unproven but routinely used therapies. However, data continue to grow evaluating the safety and efficacy of this therapeutic intervention in the PICU....
· Product Components · Product Description CO2 Nasal cannula is a device used to deliver supplemental oxygen or increased airflow to patient or person in need of respiratory help. This device consists of a lightweight tube which on one end splits into two prongs which are plac...
While a PSG is considered the most accurate means of diagnosing obstructive sleep apnea, at-home testing may be a good alternative for certain people. These include people whose symptoms suggest that they have moderate or severe OSA and who don’t have other medical conditions that can affect ...

Continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP), which does not include additional flow in inspiration, is used to treat obstructive sleep apnea, postoperative hypoxemia, and acute cardiogenic pulmonary edema. High-flow nasal cannula (HFNC), which apply high-flow oxygen to the nasal cavity and oropharynx...
high‐flowinfantBronchiolitis is the most common reason for infants to be hospitalised. Over the past decade, the use of high鈥恌low nasal cannulae (HFNC) therapy has increased markedly and it is now utilised not only in the intensive care unit setting but in general paediatric wards and ...
Because the patient minute ventilation exceeds flow, the oxygen delivered by the device will be diluted with ambient air and thus the inspired oxygen delivery is less than anticipated. Low-flow oxygen delivery systems consist of nasal cannula, nasal catheters, an...
