Nasal High-Flow in COPD

Nasal High Flow Therapy (nHFT) is an innovative therapy for patients with respiratory diseases. It supplies heated, humidified, and oxygen-enriched air at high flow rates through a nasal cannula. Because the air is provided through an open system with a nasal cannula, it is relatively easy to apply and suggested to be very comfortable for patients. The technique has been shown to be effective in the treatment of hypoxemic respiratory failure, mainly in neonates\[2\] and patients with acute hypoxemic respiratory failure on intensive care units (ICU).\[3\]
