Abstract:

Post-extubation acute respiratory failure with atelectasis and pneumonia after surgery is the main reason why patients were adimitted to ICU. The high-flow nasal cannula (HFNC) system for oxygen therapy has several advantages in patients after surgery: more comfortable and tolerable, generation of positive airway pressure, a ″wash-out″ effect of dead space in nasopharyngeal region, and increase of alveolar ventilation. More evidence of the therapeutic effects of HFNC on thoracic surgery or abdominal surgery patients is needed. This article reviews the clinical application of HFNC in the prevention of acute respiratory failure in extubated patients after surgery.

Key words: High-flow nasal cannula, Weaning, Pulmonary complications, Critically ill patients
