An integrated flow generator, wide flow range (2 - 60 L/min) and various interfaces facilitates the treatment of a broad range of patients across the hospital.
Nasal High Flow Therapy (NHF) aka HFNC is recommended for several clinical applications among published clinical practice guidelines.
A review of the studies referenced by these guidelines showed that most of the studies used flows of ≥ 45 L/min, i.e., flow rate matters.
