Randomized Controlled TrialComparison of High-Flow and Conventional Nasal Cannula Oxygen in Patients Undergoing Endobronchial Ultrasonography.
Oxygen therapy is required to prevent hypoxaemia during the endobronchial ultrasonography (EBUS) procedure. ⋯ Oxygen therapy delivered by HFNC seems to be safer and more effective than by CNC in patients undergoing EBUS. Oxygen therapy with HFNC may be considered as an alternative to CNC because it may increase patient comfort and thereby improve compliance.
