High-Flow Nasal Cannula (HFNC)

High-Flow Nasal Cannula (HFNC) is a medical device that supplies a high concentration of oxygen to patients through a flexible tube that sits in their nostrils. Unlike standard oxygen delivery methods, HFNC can deliver larger volumes of oxygen and warm, humidified air, making it easier to breathe. It is often used for patients with respiratory problems, such as pneumonia or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), as it helps improve oxygen levels in the blood and can support breathing without the need for mechanical ventilation. HFNC offers comfort and flexibility while providing effective respiratory support.
