Abstract:
Heated humidified high flow nasal cannula oxygen therapy (HFNC) has the characteristics of improving the work of breathing,creating the effect of positive end-expiratory pressure,being setted up easily,well tolerated by patients and high safety.At present,it has been widely used in neonatal respiratory support,but lack of its extensive use and research in infants and children.HFNC is suitable for use in infants with viral bronchiolitis,pneumonia,asthma,ARDS,and postextubation respiratory support from the aspect of the mechanism of action of HFNC and the pediatric physiology.HFNC should be the preferred mode of conventional oxygen therapy in pediatrics.
