Simultaneous reduction of flow and fraction of inspired oxygen (FiO2) versus reduction of flow first or FiO2 first in patients ready to be weaned from high-flow nasal cannula oxygen therapy: study protocol for a randomized controlled trial (SLOWH trial)

Simultaneous reduction of flow and fraction of inspired oxygen (FiO2) versus reduction of flow first or FiO2 first in patients ready to be weaned from high-flow nasal cannula oxygen therapy: study protocol for a randomized controlled trial (SLOWH trial)

Abstract Background High-flow nasal cannula (HFNC) oxygen therapy has been widely used in critically ill patients. Despite the effectiveness of HFNC as a treatment, optimal methods to withdraw HFNC after recovery from preexisting conditions have not been investigated to date. In this study, we will...
