What clinical evidence is there, specific to the ED?

Reducing escalation in ED




Bell. 20151

Higher proportion of patients had > 20% reduction in respiratory rate using NHF: 66.7% NHF vs. 38.5% conventional oxygen therapy (COT), p=0.005.

 

 

Showed in an ED randomized control trial that NHF was associated with a lower proportion of patients requiring escalation in ventilation therapy.

Nasal high flow can decrease the need for escalation and might decrease the need for intubation

(Meta-analysis; nasal high flow compared with COT and NIV)

- Huang, et al. Emerg Med Int. 2019.

“Patients with HFNC were much more likely to recover from respiratory failure.”

(Compared with COT in patients with acute hypoxemic respiratory failure)

- Mace, et al. Am J Emerg Med. 2019.
