HFNC (High Flow Nasal Cannula)

A High Flow Nasal Cannula (HFNC) is a medical device used to deliver high-flow oxygen through a nasal cannula to patients with respiratory distress.

It provides a higher flow of oxygen than standard nasal cannulas, typically ranging from 30 to 60 liters per minute.

HFNC helps improve oxygenation and breathing by delivering warm, humidified air, reducing the effort needed for breathing and providing comfort to patients.

It is commonly used in hospitals for patients with conditions like acute respiratory failure, pneumonia, or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).
