Humidified High Flow Therapy

Humidified high flow therapy with myAirvo 2 delivers warmed and humidified air/oxygen mixtures to the patient through a comfortable interface. It is designed for use in the home and long-term care facilities.

How does Optiflow work?


The mechanisms of action

With NHF therapy, you can independently titrate flow and FiO2 to match your patient’s needs. The mechanisms of action differ from those of conventional therapies, as do the resulting physiological effects and clinical outcomes.

Mechanisms of NHF therapy are: 

  • Airway hydration
  • Respiratory support (through the reduction of dead space
  • and delivery of a dynamic positive airway pressure)
  • Patient comfort
  • Supplemental oxygen (if required)

Note: the above mechanisms of action for nasal high flow apply to delivery through an Optiflow nasal cannula interface. The mechanisms of action differ when high flow is delivered through a tracheostomy or mask interface adapter

Usage

There is an increasing body of clinical literature which may provide guidance on the day-to-day application of humidified high flow.
