§ Assess the patient's need for low flow oxygen delivery and clinically decide the appropriate device.
§ Determine the patient's need for high flow oxygen delivery and clinically decide the appropriate device based on new available formats.
§ Evaluate if the patient requires noninvasive positive pressure in addition to oxygen delivery and in which format.
§ Modify the patient's plan of care to include invasive means of ventilation and oxygenation based on clinical indicators.

üPneumothorax
A 41-year-old male comes in with acute on chronic shortness of breath (SOB). He is a smoker and smoked three packs per day since the age of 15. On physical examination, he is extremely SOB, using accessory muscles, and is tachycardic. Basic lab workup shows pancytopenia, and chest x-ray shows bilateral ground glass pulmonary infiltrates. Arterial blood gas shows pH 7.45, PCO2 35 mmHg, PO2 45 mmHg, and bicarbonate 24 mmol/L. As the patient is extremely dyspneic but alert and awake, it is decided to try noninvasive ventilation in the form of BiPAP, but the patient refuses to wear it as he is claustrophobic. What else could be offered to the patient before using invasive ventilation?
qSedate the patient and put him on BiPAP
qNon-rebreather mask

What is a high flow nasal cannula?
qIt is a system which helps in reducing the chest pain in patients having a myocardial infarction.
qIt is a system which is used in pulmonary hypertension.
qIt is an oxygen delivery system by which up to 100% oxygen with higher flow can be delivered.
qIt is a device to deliver nitrous oxide.

§ Initial experience using this modality for obstructive sleep apnea patients led to it’s use in patients with neuromuscular failure.
§ Later it began being used for COPD decompensation/exacerbation. Now is at times the first line therapy.

§ After discontinuation of mechanical ventilation (COPD)
§ CAP ( and COPD)
§ Asthma
§ Immunocompromised state (known cause of infiltrates)
§ Post-op respiratory distress and failure
