Early nasal high-flow versus Venturi mask oxygen therapy after lung resection: a randomized trial

Abstract Background Data on high-flow nasal oxygen after thoracic surgery are limited and confined to the comparison with low-flow oxygen. Different from low-flow oxygen, Venturi masks provide higher gas flow at a predetermined fraction of inspired oxygen (FiO2). We conducted a randomized trial to d...
