A report from Rush University in Chicago, Illinois discusses the importance of optimizing flow settings during high-flow nasal cannula oxygen therapy for neonates and young children. The researchers reviewed studies on the impact of different flow settings and found that higher flows can lead to increased pharyngeal pressure, improved oxygenation, and reduced respiratory rate and work of breathing. However, individualizing flow settings requires consideration of various factors such as the patient's peak inspiratory flow, respiratory rate, heart rate, tolerance, work of breathing, and lung aeration. The research emphasizes the need for personalized care in this population. [Extracted from the article] |
