Objectives

  1. Distinguish the difference between non-invasive ventilation and high-flow nasal cannula.
  2. Determine patient populations that benefit from high-flow nasal cannula oxygen therapy.
  3. Develop initiation and titration strategies for a patient on high-flow nasal cannula.
  4. Apply the ROX index when assessing a patient for high-flow nasal cannula therapy.

Outline

Media influence on respiratory support during COVID
