Article Synopsis
- A systematic review and meta-analysis was conducted to evaluate the effectiveness of high-flow nasal cannula (HFNC) oxygen therapy compared to conventional oxygen therapy (COT) in COVID-19 patients with acute respiratory failure.
- The study analyzed data from 20 research papers involving 8,383 patients, finding that HFNC significantly reduced the risk of intubation and hospital stay length, but not mortality rates.
- The conclusion suggests HFNC is a beneficial option for managing acute respiratory failure in COVID-19, as it decreases the need for intubation without affecting the overall survival rate.
