Heated and Humidified High-Flow Oxygen Therapy Reduces Discomfort During Hypoxemic Respiratory Failure This research article was written after a randomized study was done to evaluate the effects that heated and humidified high flow oxygen therapy has on patients that suffer from hypoxemic respiratory failure. In general when a patient is admitted to the hospital and placed on a high flow oxygen device there is no heat or humidity added to the supplemental oxygen the patient is getting. As

also known as to ‘keep vein open’ to a peripheral intravenous cannula will prolong the life expectancy of a cannula.

gauge stylet was inserted to maintain the patency of the cannula. Following surgery‚ the rats were allowed 10 days to recover and then subjected to temporary inactivation of BLA prior to chronic immobilization stress. The lidocaine (20 µg/ml) was freshly prepared in isotonic saline and injected using 30 gauge infusion needle fitted in guide cannula by removing the stylet. The tip of the infusion needle protruded 1 mm below the guide cannula to reach the BLA. Lidocaine (2µl/side) was infused bilaterally

In general‚ low flow rates via nasal cannula are recommended (Simmons & Simmons‚ 2004). At times‚ however‚ masks with high flow may be needed. The patient was unable to maintain adequate oxygen levels on nasal cannula‚ so to prevent hypoxia‚ administering oxygen via mask was necessary. Regardless of method of administration‚ oxygen flow rates should be titrated to achieve the
