Study Overview

Brief Summary

High flow nasal cannula oxygen therapy has been widely used in critically ill patients. Despite effectiveness of high flow nasal cannula as a treatment, optimal methods to withdrawal high flow nasal cannula after recovery from preexisting conditions has not been investigated to date. In this study, we will evaluate the efficacy and safety of three different weaning methods in patients with high flow nasal cannula oxygen therapy.

Detailed Description

Comparison of three weaning strategies: flow reduction first versus fraction of inspired oxygen (FiO2) first versus simultaneous reduction
