Comparison between Continuous positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) and High Flow Nasal Cannula (HFNC) in Management of Bronchiolitis and community acquired pneumonia in Infants and Young Children

Abstract: Background Acute respiratory failure develops in infants with bronchiolitis and Community acquired pneumonia (CAP) because of hypoxemia, due to mismatch between ventilation and perfusion. Nasal continuous airway pressure (nCPAP) and high-flow nasal cannula (HFNC) improve the work of breathing and oxygenation .High flow nasal cannula (HFNC), also called heated humidified high flow nasal cannula (HHHFNC), is a new non-invasive ventilation therapy that seems to be well tolerated in infants with … Show more
