Using a High-flow Nasal Cannula Provided Superior Results to Diffuser Delivery in Severe Bronchiolitis: a Prospective, Randomized Controlled Study
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating high flow nasal oxygen therapy and Diffuser oxygen mask for Respiratory Failure and Bronchiolitis. Completed, enrolled 60 participants.
Detailed Summary
The investigators compared oxygen therapy using the HFNC and diffuser mask (an effective low-flow oxygen delivery system) to treat patients with moderate-to-severe acute bronchiolitis admitted to an intensive care unit (ICU).
Study Details
Timeline
Interventions
Oxygen therapy using a high-flow nasal cannula (HFNC) is a high-flow oxygen delivery system that enhances the efficiency of respiration by using high flow rates to clear dead space and provide fresh oxygen. This system supplies oxygen at a high flow rate through a loose nasal cannula.
diffuser mask is a low-flow delivery system, which is capable of delivering up to 90% of the fraction of inspired oxygen (FiO2) with low CO2 retention. In this system, the FiO2 can be adjusted by modifying the flow velocity to deliver the quantity of oxygen that the patient requires. Oxygen is supplied to the patient in a jet that flows from a device mounted on the oxygen mask. This ensures that a high concentration of oxygen is provided at a low flow rate.
