Traumas like crush injuries and thermal burns that deprive tissues of adequate oxygen also benefit from high-oxygen therapy, as do life-threatening infections called necrotizing fasciitis, if the condition is treated in its early stages, the experts in Virginia reported.
Conclusions: High concentration oxygen therapy in pediatric asthma exacerbation leads to significantly higher carbon dioxide levels.
This new device may help to optimize oxygenation avoiding hypoxemia and hyperoxia during high flow oxygen therapy.
The primary outcome was increase in tPaCO2 with high concentration oxygen therapy.
The high flow oxygen therapy is increasingly used in patients with acute respiratory failure.
To evaluate hygrometric performances of several high flow oxygen therapy devices and to evaluate the potential clinical impact of different levels of hygrometry.
Also, the respective place of NPPV and high flow oxygen therapy in children with ARF due to different conditions has to be determined [56].
Objectives: We evaluated the effects of transcutaneous carbon dioxide (tPaCO2) in high concentration oxygen therapy versus titrated oxygen therapy to maintain saturation between 92 to 95%% in pediatric patients with acute asthma exacerbation in the ED.
Methods: Children 2 to 18 years with previously diagnosed asthma with moderate to severe asthma exacerbation (asthma score > 5) were randomized to high concentration oxygen therapy (100%% oxygen via face mask at >4 L/min).
