Continous Positive Airway Pressure
High Flow Oxygenation Therapy
CPAP is administered through a binasal tube fitted with a Benveniste gas jet administered with humified airflow. Start flow is 12-14 l/min and can be changed to maximum 15 or minimum 12 l/min. Oxygen can be supplied as needed to keep SpO2 (peripheral capillary Oxygen saturation) within acceptable limits.
HFOT is administered by optiflow Junior ( Fisher&Paykal Healthcare® Auckland, New Zealand) Start flow 12-14 l/min. Oxygen can be supplied as needed to keep Sp02 within acceptable limits
