Abstract

         High-flow nasal cannula oxygen (HFNC) is one of the treatments for patients with hypoxic respiratory failure to prevent unplanned intubation. HFNC is medical equipment providing adjustable oxygenation percentage to 100% of required oxygen-air concentration with a maximum flow rate of 60 liters per minute. The HFNC provides optimum humidity and temperature to the patients leading to effective releasing mucus or respiratory tract secretions. It also increases the amount of oxygen in the body resulting in convenient and comfortable airway clearance therapy. Evidently, the HFNC diminishes the intubation rate in adult and elderly patients with pathological problems of the respiratory system. Currently, HFNC is a preferable medicinal remedy in tertiary hospital settings treating patients with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) who have a respiratory failure with moderate to severe hypoxia. Therefore, empirical knowledge, the understanding of HFNC’s mechanisms, indications, contraindications, and the guideline set up are essential for nurses to enhance the translation of evidence-based practice into nursing care for promoting efficient and effective quality of care.
