High-flow nasal cannula as a device to provide continuous positive airway pressure in infants

To measure the intrapharyngeal pressure (IPP) generated by high-flow nasal cannula (HFNC) at varying flow rates up to 5 l min(-1). We studied 14 infants on HFNC or NCPAP using IPP manometry to measure the IPP generated at flows of 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 l min(-1). On average flow rates of 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5...
