Comparison of the Efficacies of High-Flow Nasal Cannula Oxygen Therapy and Non-invasive Nasal Cannula Ventilation in Preventing Intubation.

Objective: This study aimed to compare high-flow nasal cannula oxygen therapy (nc-HFOT) and non-invasive nasal cannula ventilation (nc-NIV) in terms of intubation requirements.

Materials And Methods: The study was conducted retrospectively on cases followed up in the pediatric intensive care unit (PICU) between October 2019 and December 2021.

Results: Of all cases, 43 (55.

Comparison of effects of quercetin and ascorbic acid on inflammatory cytokines and antioxidant biomarkers in infant rats using an experimental sepsis model.

Objective: There is ongoing research on treatments that promote antioxidant and anti-inflammatory mechanisms, which will reduce mortality in sepsis. In this study, we compared the anti-inflammatory and antioxidant activities of quercetin and ascorbic acid using a sepsis model induced in infant rats.

Methods: A total of 28 infant rats 21-days-old that had just completed the lactation period were divided into four groups: control, sepsis, sepsis + quercetin, and sepsis + ascorbic acid.
