High-flow therapy: physiological effects and clinical applications

High-Flow Nasal Cannula Oxygen Therapy in Adults: Physiological Benefits, Indication, Clinical Benefits, and Adverse Effects.

High-flow nasal cannula (HFNC) oxygen therapy is carried out using an air/oxygen blender, active humidifier, single heated tube, and nasal cannula. Able to deliver adequately heated and humidified medical gas at flows up to 60 L/min, it is considered to have a number of physiological advantages compared with other standard oxygen therapies, including reduced anatomical dead space, PEEP, constan...

High frequency ventilation: Physiological mechanisms, methodology and clinical applications

High frequency ventilation is a new ventilation technique whose clinical application is being investigated extensively. This article describes three types of high frequency ventilation techniques, defines each technique, lists the possible clinical indications for high frequency ventilation, and presents a case study on the use of high frequency ventilation on a patient in whom conventional ven...

Mechanical ventilation: physiological and clinical applications

Mechanical Ventilation provides a comprehensive theoretical background and practical approach to mechanical ventilation. It is written primarily for respiratory therapists, but critical care and respiratory physicians and nurses will find many aspects of the book invaluable, particularly the clear and concise descriptions of the different modes of mechanical ventilation, their advantages and di...
