5/21/2023 0 Comments High flow oxygenRespiratory failure is a condition in which the respiratory system fails in one or both of its gas-exchanging functions-i.e., oxygenation of, and carbon dioxide elimination from, mixed venous (pulmonary arterial) blood. HFNC is comparable to NIV in respiratory failure patients. HFNC is comparable to conventional oxygen therapy in respiratory failure and post-extubation patients. In case of post-extubation patients, there was non-significant statistical difference between the HFNC and conventional oxygen therapy regarding clinical parameters, comfort and outcome. There was non-significant statistical difference between the three mentioned modalities of oxygen therapy regarding comfort and clinical outcome. In case of respiratory failure patients, there was non-significant statistical difference between HFNC, conventional oxygen therapy and NIV, regarding the difference in ABGs, vital data, and dyspnea scores, at successive time points, except for PO2 after 30 min in patients received NIV, which was significantly higher. The purpose of this study was to compare the efficiency, tolerability, and outcome of HFNC in patients with respiratory failure and post-mechanical ventilation patients in comparison to NIV and conventional oxygen devices. HFNC has a growing place in the repertoire of respiratory therapies. Conventional oxygen devices may be inadequate in patients requiring high inspiratory flow. Oxygen therapy is essential in the management of patients with respiratory problem, including after endotracheal extubation.
