When assessing intubation/death at 7 days in hospitalized adults with acute respiratory failure, high-flow nasal oxygen was generally noninferior to noninvasive ventilation, according to results ...

"Non-invasive ventilation is one solution for this, but it may increase the risk of infection for healthcare workers, as virus particles can become airborne due to mask leakage, the speed and ...

Thirty-four percent of patients randomized to high-flow oxygen through a nasal cannula were intubated by day 28 compared with 51% of those randomized to conventional oxygen therapy (HR 0.62, 95% ...

Additionally, SCCM further suggests HFNC is preferable to non-invasive positive pressure ventilation (NiPPV) in the management of COVID-19 respiratory distress.

The duration of assisted ventilation rose substantially over time, with a large increase in the duration of nasal continuous positive airway pressure. Despite the increase in the use of less ...

Nevertheless, high-flow nasal cannula (HFNC; 103.5 fewer events per 1,000) and face mask bilevel ventilation (99 fewer events per 1,000) were the only therapies associated with lesser need for ...

Ventilatory support with non-invasive ventilation or HFNC are often used to treat people with respiratory failure, a symptom of severe coronavirus disease, as they help patients with breathing ...

High flow nasal cannula, which can also pose risk of aerosolization, is recommended for patients over these other devices in guidelines released last week by the National Institutes of Health ...

In May it entered a $9.9 million blanket purchase agreement with the U.S Department of Defense to supply high-flow nasal cannula units to the nation's 51 Department of Defense hospitals.

Mechanical ventilation (MV) is indicated in the treatment of acute respiratory failure (ARF) when conservative treatment fails. Invasive MV is associated with several complications which may be ...
