High-flow oxygen therapy

High-flow oxygen therapy is a medical treatment that provides patients with a high concentration of oxygen through specialized equipment. Unlike traditional oxygen therapy, which delivers a lower flow, high-flow therapy supplies a steady stream of warm, humidified oxygen, allowing patients to breathe more comfortably and effectively. It is often used for those with respiratory issues, such as pneumonia or COPD, and can help improve their oxygen levels, reduce the work of breathing, and avoid the need for mechanical ventilation in serious cases. The therapy is delivered via a nasal cannula or mask, tailored to each patient's needs.
