Assessing peak inspiratory flow for initial HFNC flow setting: the end point or a first step towards a new approach?

In this study, 29% of PTIF values were>2 L/kg/min. The Authors thus cautiously propose a higher initial HFNC flow rate of 2.5 L/kg/min (or>3 L/kg/min in particular cases) than the commonly used 2 L/kg/min.
