BTPS HFT Standard of Care in Your Hospital Setting

I'd like to have some input as to the Standards of Care in Your Hospital regarding "Heated" High Flow Oxygen Delivery. Currently where I work we do not have or use BTPS High Flow Oxygen and after reading the Clinical Foundations Article I am quite interested in pursuing this avenue and plan on speaking with our Director.

"Breathing cool, dry gases can produce deleterious effects in the respiratory tract and when delivered through an artificial airway, can maginfy the negative impact of ventilation."

"(BTPS) Body Temperature Pressure Saturated (HFT) High flow therpay delivers warm, humdified gas to the patient through a nasal cannula. BTPS gas can be beneficial, regardless of whether the the patient is receiving supplemental oxygen, although the mechanism is not yet fully understood"

Today I found new technology to deliver BTPS via nasal canula and ventilator see Vapore for details
