Impact of Prophylactic High Flow Nasal Oxygen in Post-Operative Thoracic Surgical Patients
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Heated humified high-flow nasal cannula Oxygen and Standard oxygen therapy for Post-operative Pulmonary Complications. Completed, enrolled 51 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
The Investigators goal was to study the effect of high flow nasal cannula oxygen (HFNC) on the rate of post-operative pulmonary complications in thoracic surgical patients. The Investigators hypothesis is that prophylactic HFNC oxygen, as compared to standard oxygen treatment, will reduce the incidence of postoperative pulmonary complications, improve post-operative pulmonary function, and reduce Intensive Care Unit (ICU) and hospital length of stay.
