High Flow Nasal Cannula
Putative beneficial mechanisms of high flow nasal cannula (HFNC) 
oxygen therapy. EELV, end-expiratory lung volume; FiO2, inspiratory oxygen fraction; Temp., temperature.
 • Nasopharyngeal CO2 washout 
 • Decreased anatomical dead space 
 • Maintenance of mucociliary function 
 • Positive airway pressure 
 • Increased airway calibres 
 • Decreased hydrostatic capillary-alveolar gradient
