Article Abstract

The purpose of this document is to establish SEPAR's official position on the use of high-flow nasal cannula (HFNC) therapy in the home management of patients with chronic respiratory diseases. This position statement is deemed necessary considering current evidence regarding HFNC use in chronic respiratory conditions, with the objective of standardizing its application. This consensus was developed by a panel of experts comprising specialists with established expertise in chronic respiratory failure and high-flow nasal cannula therapy. The panel of experts stablished recommendations in COPD, bronchiectasis, interstitial lung diseases, palliative care, rehabilitation, and chronic treatment settings.

Purpose: There is limited evidence to guide the use of enteral nutrition (EN) for children with bronchiolitis who received Humidified high flow nasal cannula (HHFNC) and often kept nil per mouth for aspiration and progression to mechanical ventilation risk.

Methods: This quality improvement project included children with bronchiolitis who were supported by HHFNC in the paediatric intensive care unit (PICU). An algorithm to increase EN use in those participants was created by stakeholders.

The objective of this study was to evaluate ruminal and postruminal apparent absorption of Cu, Mn, and Zn with rations containing 2 different concentrations of sulfate Co, Mn, and Zn supplements in nonlactating, nonpregnant Holstein cows. Four multiparous cows with ruminal and duodenal cannulas were used in a double 2 × 2 crossover design. Cows were assigned to the following treatments: (1) mineral supplement providing concentrations of Co, Mn, and Zn at 0.

Using high-flow nasal cannula (HFNC) in patients with hypoxemic respiratory failure to avoid intubation raises concerns about its potential to increase mortality due to delayed intubation. Identifying at-risk patients is essential. While the literature predicts risk with oxygen-based indices (ROX, SpO2/FiO2, PaO2/FiO2), we aimed to detect ventilation insufficiency.
