Abstract
Nasal high-flow provides a stable oxygenation in acute hypoxemic respiratory failure, modifies breathing patterns, reduces work of breathing and can decrease hypercapnia. Thereby NHF provides more features than low-flow oxygen and acts as a ventilatory support device. Different studies show benefits of NHF compared to NIV. For these reasons we will discuss the capabilities of NHF and NIV in selected settings.
