Case Reports
Benefits of early use of high-flow-nasal-cannula (HFNC) in patients with COVID-19 associated pneumonia.
Severe COVID-19 is associated with hypoxemic bilateral pneumonia that leads to mechanical ventilation in a considerable proportion of patients. To the best of our knowledge, there are no recommendations about the best time to initiate high flow nasal cannula (HFNC). ⋯ Early HFNC use is associated with a decrease in the need for intubation, mortality and overall hospital stay.
