High-Flow Nasal Cannula (HFNC) Treatment

High-Flow Nasal Cannula (HFNC) Treatment
High-Flow Nasal Cannula (HFNC) Treatment is a non-invasive respiratory support therapy that delivers warm, humidified, oxygen-enriched air to patients, usually using a nasal cannula. Typically used in spontaneously breathing patients who typically require oxygen at higher flow rates. It can provide respiratory support of patients with acute hypoxemic respiratory failure and prevent subsequent intubation when used correctly. This greatly enhances patient comfort and ease of use.

Life-saving treatment with HFNC Therapy
Watch this video to learn more about how HFNC:
• Leads to improvements in oxygenation1, respiratory rate2, dyspnea3 and patient comfort4
• Helps patients recover faster following extubation1
• Translates to improved outcomes and shorter ICU stays4

COVID-19 Updates
According to WHO 2020, “Data from China suggests that although the majority of people with COVID-19 have a mild illness (40%) or moderate illness (40%); about 15% of them have a severe illness requiring oxygen therapy, and 5% will be critically ill requiring intensive care unit treatment.”5
"COVID-19 treatment health-care facilities should be equipped with pulse oximeters, functioning oxygen systems including single-use oxygen delivery interfaces.
Oxygen therapy is recommended for all severe and critical COVID-19 patients, with low doses ranging from 1-2 L/min in children and starting at 5 L/min in adults with nasal cannula, moderate flow rates for use with venturi mask (6-10 L/min); or higher flow rates (10-15 L/min) using a mask with reservoir bag. In addition, oxygen can be delivered at higher flow rates and in higher concentrations, using high-flow nasal cannula (HFNC) devices, non-invasive ventilation (NIV) and invasive ventilation devices.”6
