Recently, there has been growing interest in knowing the best hygrometry level during high-flow nasal oxygen and non-invasive ventilation (NIV) and its potential influence on the outcome. Various studies have shown that breathing cold and dry air results in excessive water loss by nasal mucosa, reduced mucociliary clearance, increased airway resistance, reduced epithelial cell function, increased inflammation, sloughing of tracheal epithelium, and submucosal inflammation. With the Coronavirus Disease 2019 pandemic, using high-flow nasal oxygen with a heated humidifier has become an emerging form of non-invasive support among clinicians.

Background: Aerosol therapy is commonly used during treatment with high-flow nasal cannula (HFNC) in the intensive care unit (ICU). Heated humidification inside the HFNC tubing circuit leads to unwanted condensation, which may greatly limit the efficiency of drug delivery. In this study, we aimed to investigate whether a novel humidification system, which decouples temperature and humidity control, can improve the delivered dose.
