High Flow Nasal Cannula Oxygen Therapy In Pediatric

Abstract

With the spread of clinical applications, the interest in the use of high-flow nasal cannula, which warms and humidifies oxygen with the help of traditional nasal cannula, has increased. Many international protocols on the use of high-flow nasal cannula oxygen therapy (HFNC) are available. This study was conducted to evaluate the oxygen therapy methods used in pediatric services and to specify the roles and responsibilities of nurses in the application of HFNC, one of these methods. Because nurses are responsible for the use of HFNC, monitoring the effectiveness of the treatment, monitoring children during HFNC and helping them to carry out the activities of daily living, HFNC-related nursing approach is of importance.
