Impact of the Early Use of High Flow Nasal Cannula in Patients With Post-traumatic Lung Contusion, a Randomized Clinical Trial

Not Applicable

• Conditions: Traumatic Lung Injury
• Interventions: Device: high flow nasal cannula

• Registration Number: NCT05509088
• Lead Sponsor: Ain Shams University

Brief Summary

We hypothesize that early and continuous administration of oxygen via high flow nasal cannula in patients with lung contusion and non-severe acute lung injury might reduce the incidence of intubation and hold the deterioration of pulmonary functions.
