nasal high-flow therapy

Nasal high-flow therapy is a medical treatment that delivers oxygen to patients through a thin tube placed in the nose. It provides a higher concentration of oxygen than standard methods and allows for increased airflow while helping to clear carbon dioxide from the lungs. This therapy is often used for individuals with breathing difficulties, such as those with pneumonia or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). It can improve comfort and breathing, and is especially useful in hospitals or emergency settings, enabling patients to receive support without a ventilator.
