High Flow Nasal Oxygen (HFNO): a standard
of care for COVID-19 patients and beyond?

High flow nasal oxygen (HFNO) is a relatively recent respiratory support technique that delivers high flow, heated and humidified controlled concentration of oxygen via the nasal route. Recently, its use has increased for a variety of clinical indications.
