Podcast 627: Oxygen Like It's Hot

Contributor: Aaron Lessen, MD

Educational Pearls:

High flow nasal cannula (HFNC) has become more utilized with COVID pandemic
Multiple studies have shown this method improves both oxygenation and ventilation
Newer studies have shown the respiratory benefit of HFNC vs normal oxygen in patients suffering from CHF and those with do not intubate orders who are experiencing respiratory distress.
Heated high flow is another option to provide ventilator and oxygen support to patients who either do not need or do not want to be intubated
