The Physiological Effect of High-flow Nasal Cannula

Synopsis: High-flow nasal cannula is superior to standard facemask oxygen for patients with acute hypoxic respiratory failure. A study by Tommaso Mauri and colleagues examines the physiological changes associated with high-flow nasal cannula, which may explain the unique benefits of this therapy.
