Options for delivering Optiflow high flow therapy
There are several ways to deliver Optifow therapy - check out our quick guide below
1. You can use a dedicated, standalone device such as the Airvo Optiflow systemor
2. You can use an NHF-capable mechanical ventilator. We call this a vent-driven system.
