[Differential Therapy NIV - NHF]. Pneumologie. 2020 Jan 09;: Authors: Bräunlich J, Wirtz H 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. PMID: 31918445 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
