Active Comparator
Experimental
Standard oxygen therapy
High-flow nasal oxygen (HFNO)
Standard oxygen therapy will be delivered using any device or combination of devices that are part of usual care: nasal oxygen, and mask with or without a reservoir bag and with or without the Venturi system. The flow will be tapered to target an SpO2 ≥ 95%
Experimental: High-flow nasal oxygen (HFNO) group Device that delivers humidified and warmed high-flow oxygen at flows between 30-60L/min HFNO will be initiated at a flow rate between 30-60 L/min and FiO2 titrated for a target of SpO2 ≥ 95%.
